Shoe Size: Felt true to size Shoe Arch: Excellent arch support Shoe Width: Felt true to width
This shoe could not be sexier. The bright, shiny red is perfect with more subdued colors and it really makes you stand out. Men love them. They are extremely comfortable right from the start. I have a really narrow heel so my feet are forever popping out of my shoes. So annoying. The little strap on this style solves that problem. The first day I wore them for 8 hours straight and was on my feet and moving on wood and concrete the entire time. I lasted about 5 good hours before I wanted to cry, then I thought I was going to die or chew my own feet off. Not a shoe issue, though. I should have had flats on. For "normal" use they are exceptional.

I love these shoes! They are so comfortable I can wear them all day. I have several pairs of Cole Haan shoes, but the Carma are my fave!

Beautiful shoes! A little cramped in the toe box at first, but they softened up after a couple of wearings. They look equally great with a business suit, a party dress, and even jeans.

Love these shoes! The nike technology really does work - the shoes are comfortable to walk and stand on despite the 3.5 inch heel height. They are very sexy and look great with pants or skirts. I highly recommend them. The toe room was a little tight when i first tried them on but the leather has stretched a bit and they fit great now. I get compliments on them everytime I wear them - just wish they came in more colours!

About Cole Haan...

In 1928, Trafton Cole and Eddie Haan designed the first Cole Haan shoe. It was Chicago, the jazz age. Quality was everything – and style, like the sound, was smooth and sophisticated. Originally, Cole Haan was a men’s footwear label that captured the essence of the 20’s spirit with beautifully designed and well made shoes for the dapper gentleman. Today, Cole Haan brings that heritage to a full line of products including Cole Haan shoes, Cole Haan bags, Cole Haan belts and Cole Haan eyewear.

Cole Haan is America’s premier style and luxury brand. Each season they introduce an exciting new collection of high-quality men’s and women’s footwear, iconic handbags, men’s and women’s sunglasses and personal leather goods. Cole Haan is inspired by a passion for innovation and beauty, from authentic handcrafting, to the fast-forward excitement of NIKE AIR® Technology.

Cole Haan shoes, Cole Haan belts and Cole Haan handbags are crafted using the most luxurious materials available, such as rich, hand-burnished calfskin, plush suede, genuine crocodile and American farm-raised alligator. The brand approaches design like sculpture or architecture – from a 360-degree perspective. Its designers think of every angle and give each its own design element. This level of detail sets Cole Haan apart. In addition, because Cole Haan products are hand-crafted, no two pieces are exactly alike. A dynamic luxury brand, Cole Haan defines the ultimate in artisan quality and detail … chic, on-trend fashion … ‘downtown’ style that is unique and eclectic … and beautiful products that people love to own.

The Cole Haan Carma Air Pump and Carma OT Air Sling are amazingly comfortable, sexy and fun shoes. I have multiple colors in both styles; they are easy to wear, comfortable in the toe box, and I get multiple compliments every time I wear any of them. They have the Nike Air and are very cushy. This particular pair has a great charcoal/light gray blended tone, goes with all shades of gray and is unique in its design. Highly recommended!

I wanted to love these shoes, and I did love the look of them. But they were so uncomfortable, my feet were killing me after a short time of wearing them. I don't have unusually large feet (8 1/2 med.), but the toe box is unforgiving, especially in a patent leather. Maybe the regular leather would be easier on the toes, but the patent is so much prettier. It did fit my high arch well and would have been very comfortable except for the toes. Oh, and they also started to squeak after a couple of wearings! Took them back to the store.

I bought the soft gold color in this shoe and was very impressed by the appearance. It really is a great looking shoe! I was very interested in the Nike Air aspect of the shoe and was not disappointed. The first time I wore it I was on my feet for hours straight and while my heel hurt a bit, the ball of my foot never did. I also had no serious ache after I took them off. I think because they are a peep toe they are a bit narrow in the toe box but nothing like a pointed shoe. I love Cole Haan and would definitely buy another pair of these in a heartbeat!

Great looking shoe! Bought these for my wedding after trying about 8 other styles and shapes. Was looking for ivory leather so I could wear again. The air technology feels really awesome. It's like walking on clouds. I went to the ceremony in another pair of shoes and my feet were killing me after 15 minutes. At the reception I changed into these, after my feet were really tender from the other shoes. Immediately I felt better and was able to dance in them all night long and went home with them still on my feet! The only negative I would have about them is that the patent leather is not very soft - it doesn't stretch much. But even so, they are comfortable, I have been wearing them without hose since the wedding and I love them! Oh, and size is pretty true - I am 7.5 and these are exactly 7.5!

This is my second pair of Cole Haan Air shoes and I LOVE THEM! I am a true size 5 1/2 B and they fit perfect. I see some reviews that say they are too narrow and they're not. I find them true to size. If you have a wide foot then order a wide otherwise, they run true to size. They are perfect and professional. Also, the shoes were delivered the next day so shipping from Zappos is just amazing! Thank you!

I bought these shoes for my wedding. They were awesome! They looked really cute with my ivory, A-line dress and they were very comfortable. When I went home at the end of the night my feet didn't hurt at all. At first my toes felts a little scrunched but I wore them a couple times and the leather stretched out and felt very comfortable. I highly recommend these shoes.

OMG, these are unbelievable! I actually found these elsewhere (really lucked out) but just had to say, they're soooo comfortable for a high heel and make your leg look long and sexy. I am a very narrow, low volume size 5 and found them true to length and wonderful for narrow feet. No pain from these, beautiful soft buttery leather, and beautifully made. I've never had a high heel on for this long without excruciating pain...

I had to walk miles in a parade, so I bought these shoes. I have VERY wide feet, so I had to stretch them a bit. Overall I was comfy. Had to definitely go up a half size. They were sexy, but I wish they had more styles. They are worth the $, especially if you will be on your feet a lot!

Shoe Size: Felt a half size smaller than marked Shoe Arch: Excellent arch support Shoe Width: Felt narrower than marked
They look great, but . . . I should have taken warnings from other reviews more seriously. Numerous women mentioned that these shoes felt too narrow, and they were right. I'm a size 5 but ordered the 5.5, which fit perfectly length-wise. The Nike technology is superb, but when my toes are constantly scrunched inside the shoe, the great arch support hardly makes up for the discomfort elsewhere. I'm hoping that the leather stretches, since I've already worn them out and cannot return them. A beautiful shoe, but definitely for ladies with narrow feet. Also be sure to order half a size larger as other reviews have suggested.

Too high for me - Turned out to be too high for me. I could tell I would feel crippled after wearing them for 20 mins. If only they would apply this cushioning to low heels as well. So pretty, but just not for me.

I bought these shoes to wear at work where most of my day is spent on marble floors. Most days, I am forced to change into flats because my feet hurt so badly, but these shoes are very comfortable. I would recommend them to anyone who has to walk or stand for longer periods of time. I will buy another pair in a different color! I took the advice of other buyers and bought a half size up. They fit perfectly!

Dream heel - This shoe is worth every cent for those of you who, like me, have a wide foot. I was a little worried at first, but after wearing them for a few hours, it quietly dawned on me that I wasn't thinking about my feet at all! The Nike Air soles certainly have as much to do with it as the great fit of Cole Haan. The heel is high enough that it's definitely a dressy shoe, but you don't have to mince your steps. It's a very classy look as well. These shoes will last many years, so I figure the price is justified. My only complaint is that the wide width isn't available in the other pretty colors. Too bad, because I'd spring for another pair.

Classic comfort - These shoes are surprisingly comfortable, thanks to the Nike technology. Finally, a shoe that is stylish and comfortable. I bought this in black and after receiving them, went right back and bought them in blush. I consider these investment purchases, since the style is classic and can dress up or down, depending on the outfit.

Great looking, comfortable shoe - I have 3 pairs of Cole Haan's "air" shoes. All of them are very good looking and very, very comfortable. The heel is higher than I usually wear, but it isn't a problem.

Very sexy shoes! I bought these shoes in seal (turquoise) and followed some of the other reviews' advice and ordered a half size up. Big mistake! They were too big, so I had to send them back. They were very cute though, and I loved the way they looked with my skinny jeans. As far as comfort, I don't really think a shoe with a heel this high can be truly comfortable, but these were well made and seemed better than most.
