As one would expect of a Cole Haan product, this black Air Ryder "sneaker" is  made with exquisite attention to detail.  It would be hard to imagine that one could look at this shoe/sneaker and say anything but, "This is very well made, and about as good as one is going to get in a shoe that isn't bespoke."  I find Cole Haan shoes the most comfortable shoes that I own.  They fit my foot perfectly, and provide terrific comfort and arch support.  That being said, I don't know if this would be true for everyone.  On the other hand, I would expect almost everyone to agree that this is a well made shoe.
