I have recently had my second child so I have not worn a lot of high heels in the last few years. I decided to try the Cole Haan Air's because I have not been able to find a heel that I could see wearing for more than an hour. The platform in these definitley helps but not only that, the leather is supple and wears very nicely. The heel feels very sturdy and the peep toe is super cute.  I bought them mostly for work but you can't really go wrong witha cute black pump.

One thing you may not notice from the picture is that the leather does not have a lot of sheen to it. It is pretty textured, well, like real leather :-)
