Cole Haan · Pens & Desk Objects
The step up. A proper leather oxford that will still look right in ten years with a resole.
4.6 out of 5
The step up, and a proper leather oxford that will still look right in ten years with a resole — which changes the maths entirely against a forty-dollar pair. Cole Haan's leather is genuinely good. Leather soles want a rubber topy for city pavements.
