I have this in yellow. It's as cute as can be, BUT it is not very comfortable. I kept it because it's cute but COle Haan is not as good as they used to be. After two new pair this year, I am not buying any more. I found that they are running wider in the M width than they used too and this particular shoe runs a tad short. No more Cole Haan forme !

This is actually the second time that I am purchasing this exact item. I have done this with several of my Cole Haan shoes. Especially with the lighter colors, because they get dirtier faster. The older shoes are still in good condition, but I just prefer the newer look. (I clean the old ones and donate them to charity) I love the look and comfort, so naturally, I come back for more.

I searched high and low for a great looking shoe for my trip to Italy two years ago. I have plantar fasciitis and needed something that I could use my orthotics inserts with. I was so excited to find these shoes! I thought they would be the perfect walking shoe for touring museums and the Vatican. Knowing that dress codes are enforced and wanting to be able to keep packing to a minimum, I wanted a sleek shoe that could work with pants or skirts, and still offer comfort and support.

I ended up trying multiple sizes trying to find the perfect fit. I had a hard time finding a good size for me, and never ended up with 'perfect'. I tried to break these shoes in and ended up with blisters. The toe was way too tight for me in the end, and while I did wear them a bit during our trip, I had to put bandages and mole skin on my heels and across the top of my foot to avoid blistering and irritation. They look adorable, but fit like hell. I wish I hadn't wasted the money and had just bought some less expensive slip ons for the dressier outings I needed these for.

Since the trip, I've tried to wear them once or twice - even attempting to use nylon pedi socks, etc to help. Now these are just collecting dust in my closet. I am probably going to donate them to Goodwill!
