These are great looking loafers, and I get many compliments on their style. The black loafers are made of soft leather and are very comfortable. The saddle tan are stiffer leather and take longer to break in (order a larger size). Beware that the rubber sole does not extend to the toe, and if you plan on walking in these a lot (especially on rough surfaces), you'll need to have an additional strip of rubber placed on the toe to prevent wearing through the leather.

This is my second pair of the Howland Penny and I absolutely love them. I wore my first pair out I wore them so much! They\'re very comfortable and look great with casual or business casual clothes.

My absolute favorite shoe ever. I bought a pair a year ago and love them just as much now as I did then. The leather is a very good quality tumbled leather and the looks of these shoes have me constantly looking down at them. They are also one of the most comfortable shoes that I own so I bought a second pair (different style though). The one thing that I must say is that in the front of the shoe the leather begins to scuff since there is no sole in the front. This didn't bother me until the scuff became a hole. I thought it was just me (I have a lazy walk and tend to drag my feet a little) but two of my friends who had the same shoe had the same problem. But while the shoe lasts, it definitely is my favorite and will buy another pair.

Great comfy shoes for casual Friday (look great with jeans). Took a full day (and blister) to break them in, but now they fit like a glove.
Additional Brand Information
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.

These shoes run a little small in size but they are very comfortable. I contacted Zappos to swap them out. They were extremely helpful and had my new shoes to my house before I could send the other ones back. This is the first time I have ever used Zappos and I was very pleased with their service. They now have a customer for life.

Most comfortable shoes I've ever owned. For me, they ran 1/2 larger than normal. I ordered a 9 and they were too big. I returned them for an 8 1/2 for a much better fit. They immediately sent me the new size before I returned the ones I ordered. Very pleased.

Awesome looking pair of loafers.
These shoes look, feel, and simply are amazing! I ordered the tan colored ones and they just blew me away. They really stand out with jeans, but you can wear them with shorts also. They are very comfortable and the leather is quite soft. I strongly recommend these. Just for reference: I'm a 7 in Kenneth Cole, 7.5 in Clarks, 8 Ferragamo, and 7.5 in these… so there you go. You will love them!

Great shoe, BUT they are a quarter of a size too large for me. This left me in quite a quandary, so I decided to just keep them. Might have been a bad decision, but the aesthetic quality of the shoe was too much to turn down.

The best loafers -
Forget the other loafers that are poorly constructed, don't have any arch support, and rub the skin off the back of your heel.
These are the most comfortable loafers I've ever owned. They don't have a wear in period and has great arch support.
One thing I will mention is that at the very bottom tip (near the toe), there will grow a slight scuff mark due to its contact with the floor.

I ordered these for my fiance... just walking around the house with no socks, he said the leather rubbed one of his toes, so I am sending them back. They are good looking shoes though and I will keep ordering other Cole Haans for him to find the perfect fit!

Cole Haan awesome -
This Cole Haan shoe is so comfortable and stylish. I work in NYC everyday where you need to look your best. Now I know this is isn’t the ideal dress shoe. But in the summer it’s alright even in NYC to dress a little casual. So this shoe fits right in. you can wear this shoe as a dress shoe and certainly with cotton pants or jeans. It’s comfortable so I don’t feel like taking them off first thing when I come home from work. And I get compliments on these shoes all the time.

This is a great looking spring/summer shoe. I bought it for my son who has trouble with a high instep and yet though tight at first, the soft leather soon gave enough to fit comfortably.

I'm interested , but I think the size.
I'm very much interested in a pair of these. I wear a size 13 and your advertisement shows a size 15 as the next biggest size after size 12. I think this is an error on your part. Please let me know if it is so I can order a size 13. Thanks in advance.
