Cole Haan Women's Magnolia Ballet Flat

Though I love the classic design of Cole Haan, their high heels never work for me. I'm a true 10.5 B, and while I can wear 11 in many designers without the shoes falling off (since 10.5 is not the most common size) I can't in Cole Haan. They are always too big. And for some reason their high heel shoes are always too tight in 10.5. I'd nearly given up on the brand but was looking for a high quality pair of flats for work and classic casual that could survive daily use. These are a fantastic look, the patent leather is quite durable and miracles of miracles, the 10.5 actually fits! I was a little concerned the cut around the top of the foot would dig in to my big toe or look a bit too dowdy, but they are comfortable and fall nicely into the realm of classy (rather than dowdy.) The only reason I didn't give it five stars is the sole is not as durable as I would hope. Then again, I tend to walk a lot during the day, including to and from the office.

I like these flats and they are beautiful! I did order half a size up since it's pointy-toe. I really like the style and the embossed detail of the leather. The quality seems to be good too. I had seen these shoes on Nordstrom's website and they were almost double of the price on Amazon. I wore the shoes all day yesterday and at the end of the day they did begin to rub kinda hard on the back of my feet. It wasn't too bad and I know I am still breaking them in. I am definitely looking forward to wearing them again and pairing them with business slacks and skirts.

Consistent with Cole Haan quality and style, I'm very satisfied with these flats. The structure is great and I appreciate the [miniscule] heel. I bought the magnolia color because it was on sale and as an alternative to gold or nude shoes that you can essentially wear with anything, at least if those colors tend to blend in with your skin.These shoes are for me a rare find; reminiscent of Italian style but built with old-fashioned American durability. I'm 5'8" and have muscular legs; because of my build I can't wear flimsy shoes. I travel a lot for work so if I need to pick 1 pair for my suitcase know that these Cole Haans are that pair.

I love these shoes! Due to ankle problems, I can't wear heels much (if at all), so it's always a process finding cute flats in a size 11 that don't look like slippers. These are wonderful! They're comfortable and stylish, whether it's with a pair of pants or a dress/skirt. Very happy with the quality, and I will be ordering them in more colors for the rest of the seasons! They don't really have any arch support, and there's no room to add orthotics, but I haven't found that to be much of a problem on the days I need to wear them all day.

I am a 7.5M in most shoes and I got these in the 7.5 and they fit great. I was concerned after other review that they would be too tight in the toe box and really debated about getting the 8 instead. The 8 would have been too big for sure.

These shoes are really nice and seem to be well made. The embossed sandstone is a really nice neutral color and the I love that the texture adds interest. Unfortunately these didn't fit. I'm almost always an 8.5, but my normal size was too small in these. I need something to wear a couple days from now, otherwise I'd return them and try a 9!

Quality is awesome and the hair texture looks oh-so-chic, but the first few times I wore them there was so much friction my ankle started bleeding. Even now I preemptively apply a band-aid to the area before wearing them. Do try to soften these up before you wear them out (I found folding the back in on itself seemed to help).

These are gorgeous comfortable shoes, but they run a little large. I ordered my size (8.5) and a half size up, since most reviews said they ran small, but I found the exact opposite to be true. The 8 fits much better with a little room.
