These shoes look great, however, you should keep in mind that the lack of elastic on the upper will require (at least for me) a shoe horn and a decent amount of time to break in. The leather is also treated in a weird way. I put conditioner on to soften these up before I ever wore them and it took all the shine off immediately (it did not do that to any other pair of CHs I own). Of course a quick polish took care of this, but it was surprising. I've also found that I actually need to pull the tongue up to keep it from bunching on my feet, once I set it though it stays in place. The Nike sole is phenomenally comfortable. So yes, the leather is tough and takes some time to break in, but that is a hallmark to the quality of the shoe. After a week they fit better than any other loafers I own and it's obvious there is still more breaking in to come. I heartily recommend these with the caveat that they may take some time to be perfect.

Whether you are wearing flat front pants, tailored suit or jeans with a blazer, the Air Adams sharpen any look. (Be sure to wear a matching belt). The Air Adams are comfortable due to the rubber sole and Nike Air technology. The height of the heel is just right for dress pants purchased off the rack based on your waist and inseam. You can dress them up or dress them down (meaning you can pair with Tommy Bahama slacks, khaki's or preferably jeans, dress shirt and blazer. With Cole Haan's restoration program you will have these in your rotation for year's to come.

This is my 6th Cole Haan shoe I have purchased. Very nice shoe, soft leather and comfortable. I enjoy all of my CH shoes!!!

Nice shoes and I have had many other pairs of the Air line by CH. However the right shoe in this pair has been squeaking since the day I got them. I thought this would get better but it has persisted. Not sure if it is unique to this shoe type or not. It has me wondering about the quality.

All around good, basic brown loafers. I wish there were less seams / stitching on the inside, and they kept to a more clean look - but after searching high and low for very basic brown venetians for suit / business casual - these definitely get the job done.
