This is my second pair of this style ,my first pair having broken in so comfortably and worn so well,I had to pull the trigger when I found these for $60.00. These tend to run a little bigger than the indicated size,but not  so much that I would recommend sizing down. Comfortable for all day wear,and when I say all day,I mean all day into night. I have wide feet,and these don't pinch anywhere. It's amazing to me how sleek they were able to make these,and still be able to fit me. I get compliments every time I wear them. The material is a fine nubuck. I picked up a couple minor scuffs due to the color,material,but they came right out with a couple swipes of my Timberland rubber suede cleaner (the one that looks like a shoe lol).They also come with 2 pairs of laces,so you can really jazz 'em up as you see fit...I want to get at least one more pair,as Cole Haan tends to discontinue certain styles. Also,my other pair is almost 2 years old,and the soles wear like iron! I wear them at least twice per week,but the soles are in really good condition...I'd say they are worth the full price of $198.00,but of course,if you can get them for less,do it!
