I was SO excited to get a Cole Haan at a 1.5" heel height, but it wears- and feels - more like a 2" heel.  I really need a 1.5" heel that wears like one, and I'm not the only woman of a certain age who needs that! We still love Cole Haan shoes though, and do enjoy the Air technology...we just need a kitten heel that is a little more, well, kittenish!  The higher the heel, the greater the back pain.

I also had the misfortune of significantly marring the stacked heel on the first day of wear though.  It should have withstood a sidewalk gap better than it did!  May I return it?  I will continue to buy Cole Haan shoes whenever I can; the quality is usually there!
