TOD's and Car Shoe are both the go-to for sophisticated petty bourgeoisie, while COLE HAAN represents authentic rugged American fashion, with details such as exposed entanglements, rubber outsoles, and chunky rope ties all showing its uninhibited style. Founded in 1928, COLE HAAN started as a men's shoe and once became one of the three major brands in the United States; It was acquired by NIKE in the 80s, but the performance was not impressive. In 2012, NIKE claimed that COLE HAAN was "not the focus of the future" and was once again replaced, and is now part of private equity firm Apax Partners.
COLE HAAN, whose life has been full of twists and turns, is currently not well positioned as a brand, and its reputation is tepid, but from the perspective of comfort and wear, it is still very recommendable. During the period when NIKE was in power, the biggest change for COLE HAAN was to inject NIKE AIR cushioning technology into the sole, the insole is up to 3 cm thick, which is elastic when pedaling, and the foot feeling is excellent, even if you walk the street for 4-5 hours, your feet will not feel particularly tired; The rubber on the soles of the feet is hard, tall and thick, and horizontal strip rubber blocks are used in the heavier parts such as the toe cap, waist and heel to make the sole more durable, and to enhance the friction and anti-slip effect. ALTHOUGH THE COLE HAAN IS STILL NOT SUITABLE FOR LONG PERIODS OF EXERCISE DUE TO ITS LOW HEEL, COMPARED TO TOD'S AND THE LIKE, YOU CAN WEAR IT FOR SHOPPING, WALKING, AND COMMUTING, AND IT IS NO LONGER LIMITED TO WEARING IT INDOORS OR WHILE DRIVING, IN SHORT, IT IS DEFINITELY NOT A SQUEAMISH PAIR OF "MOON SHOES".
The official website of COLE HAAN supports direct mail, and Alipay can be used to pay, which is more convenient for overseas shopping. It should be noted that the last of the shoe is generally narrow, the insole is thicker, and the actual size will be half a size smaller, so it is best to buy half a size or one size when buying. In addition, from time to time, the official website and overseas shopping website will have discounts as low as 500 yuan - 800 yuan a pair, which one you like may wish to wait and see.
