Cole Haan's past flats were better
I have a pair of black leather cole haan flats from a couple years ago and they were my favorite everyday shoes--easily one of the best products I've ever bought and worth every penny. The leather was so soft and durable, they looked new forever. They actually still look good, but the soles are just too worn now.
So I bought the new version today in store - the Manhattan.
It's clear that the leather is not the same quality they've had in the past. I doubt these shoes will last as long or maintain as well. If these flats don't work out, I will look for another brand besides Cole Haan to attach my loyalty, though I won't discard shopping them altogether. I'll just be more picky about their inventory. I want to find what I had before. The old flats had inspired me to buy another four pairs of other cole haan shoes, but I haven't been as impressed with them either. It's just nice finding a good brand you can rely on and not have to worry when you order online.

Beautiful and Practical
This is my very first Cole Haan purchase. I needed a stylish but practical pair of flats, suitable for lots of walking. After reading numerous positive reviews
about these flats on the web (from professional journalists, photographers and travellers)...I had to locate these shoes!
They are just as wonderful as I had hoped-have worn them several times so far on long walks, and they did not disappoint. The flats are very soft and comfortable,
while the interior padding provides nice support. They look great with skinny jeans and leggings, and the fit is true to size. They will be making a trip to Europe with me at the end of the month, and will definitely be put to the test--am confident they will pass with flying colors.

Comfortable, durable, stylish basic ballet flat
I walk a lot, so go the wide flat just to make sure my toes don't feel pinched, and am glad I did - very comfortable! I got my usual size (7.5) and am right at the end of the shoe - they'll be okay, but when I ordered another pair in the snakeskin I went up to the size 8 to have a little more room.
They don't seem to require any breaking in (i walked a couple miles in them on the first day) - they don't run across the big toe joint or cut in at the achilles like some ballet flats. The sole looks like it will last. Very happy!

The PERFECT ballet falt
I just bought these in the store today.
I literally tried them on for 3 seconds and fell in LOVE. The leather is super soft with memory foam leather insole. It feels like walking on clouds. The fit is beyond perfection! If your feet are narrow I would go 1/2 size down. But for me - I went with my true size.
I own over 50 pairs of designer flats and not one can hold a candle to these.
Extremely highly recommended!

Straightforward ballet flat
Though I was a devotee of Cole Haan's Bacara flat and bought up all I could before they were discontinued, the Manhattan Ballet flat is a good second choice. No snazzy cross-cross detailing in the back, but they are comfortable and, for me anyway, feel just like the Bacara flats, except without that slight digging into my Achilles tendons. I'd like to see this style offer in a wider range of colors and suede for the winter!

My favorite ballet flat!
I can't say enough about this shoe - so comfortable and love it so much I have it in every color. It did run a half size large for me so just a heads up that you may or may not need to try two sizes. Highly recommend if you love ballet flats... I wear them with everything!

Great Ballet flat
I was looking for a black flat that fit well and would last because it was well made. This flat fit the bill. The leather is very nice which speaks of the quality of the shoe. I was very pleased

Most comfortable ballet flat I've owned
This is the most comfortable ballet flat I've ever owned, and I've owned several pairs. They are supportive and don't require breaking in. I'm excited to wear these to work and for travel. Will definitely purchase Cole Haan flats in the future.

Soft & Comfy Everyday Shoe
This is a great shoe! I could walk for days without any problems! I was weary of ordering them at first because Cole Haan has always tended to run too short for me. But, I was very pleasantly surprised by these great shoes! They run true to size (mine is 7B) and the quality is very good. I'm looking forward to getting more pairs in different colors.

I need to wear inserts. I ordered the Women's Pinch Penny Loafer and the inserts fit like a dream. I would love to have ballet shoes as well. Does anyone know if inserts would fit well in the ballet shoes? Thanks!
since the leather is soft do they stretch out over time?
BEST ANSWER: I bought my shoes a half size smaller... And I wish I hadn't done that. I went into the store to make sure and then exchanged them for a smaller size. Now when I wear these shoes for more than a few hours, my toes are cramped and my shins get sore. I still wear them, but not for long stretches of time.

Why does the leather squeak when I walk?
My shoe squeaks when I walk. Should I size up a 1/2 size or should I go with a wide fit?
