These shoes are of great quality, as you would expect from Cole Haan.  The leather is soft and they are very comfortable - the air padding is light but works great!  However, I had to return the shoes because the peep toe opening is a little too long; it shows the entire length of my big toe and the toe next to it, rather than just a "peep", and looks unflattering in that area.  So sad to return them, but sadly they have to go back.
