Customer Reviews Cole Haan Tali Lace Wedge

For my job, I'm an instructor/presenter, and am standing for hours in a day (6 to be exact). For a while, I suffered with regular shoes with 1" heels, but my toes would be killing me at the end of the day. I've been looking for stylish yet comfortable shoes, so I got these. These are perfectly fine shoes - comfortable, certainly. Maybe my expectations were too high but I'm not bowled over by their styling (little blah, and I've discovered I still prefer heels over wedges) and at the end of the day, even these bother my toes some.

What a great shoe! Extremely comfortable, ideal for all day wear. I have worn them to work with my business attire as well as casually with jeans. The one and only downfall: they run a tiny bit big. So when I wear tights they slip a little.

Would be the perfect shoe except I agree with other reviewers I the sizing: fit perfectly from heel to ball of foot then it's like it's 2 sizes smaller from ball to toe. Would be great if you have really short toes. Otherwise it's a cute and very comfortable shoe.

I wanted to love this shoe so much and had so many outfits in my head already picked out. Alas the shoe was shoe was too short and my toes were jammed, cramped in the front. They are going back.

I absolutely love this shoe. I've purchased it in several colors. I had a recurrence of plantar facsiitis around the time I gave birth to my son. When it came time to return to work, I couldn't wear any of my pre-baby heels without terrible pain. Several months later, even though the plantar facsiitis has gone away again, I'm still wearing (multiple pairs/different colors of) this shoe virtually every day. I can dress them up or down, and can chase my little boy around in them. They feel more stylish than typical "comfort" shoes and there's no price too high for pain-free feet at the end of the day. I highly recommend them.

Love these shoes. Very comfortable. I'm buying these for the 2nd time, wore my 1st pair out. Cute for business but more comfy than most. I ALWAYS wear these for trade shows or anytime I have to stand all day.

Adorable shoe, but won't work for my plantar fasciitis. There was decent support but the toe box was smallish and the angle of the heel put too much pressure on my toes. Sorry to send it back!

The people who said it is the most comfortable shoe ever are not being honest, or they are speaking for people who do not have an arch. I have an arch and these are the worst shoes ever. I cannot believe you are still trying to sell them at their original price. It is only after wearing them that I could tell how uncomfortable they are and of course you only accept them unworn. Since I hate the thought of letting this cost go to waste, I decided to give them another try today. I wore them into the office and once again they are horrible. My feet feel so low to the ground; while my toes are pressing forward.

I wear these 12 hours a day, constantly on my feet, and it's like wearing sneakers. It took about a week to break them in. I ordered my true size. The toe box was a bit narrow at first, but half size up was too big. After a week, they fit perfect.

I have worn Cole Haan shoes for forty years and have always thought they were the best but in the last two years I have purchased and they have a terrible fit. This wedge would kill my toes after wearing for two hours, the vamp is two short, Cole Haan please return to making shoes the way you did years ago, but Donald Pliner his shoes are no longer worth the price. I have both DPL and CH in my closet now from years ago and they are still giving me wonderful service. Will never purchase again.

This is the first Cole Haan product that I did not like. I can barely walk in these shoes. They "look" comfortable, but they are not for people who have an arch. I paid a lot for these shoes that I cannot wear and I am stuck with them. Also, they stretch so that they become wider and have been difficult for me to wear. I love Cole Haan products -- everything, and this is the first time I have ever had a problem with one of his designs. I just read that someone said their foot, or feet sloshed around in it -- Yes, that is exactly what happens when I try to wear them. Also, my toes feel jammed/tight in the shoe, yet their is space in the back.

Very cute, lower height wedge pump. These feel a bit small and tight in the toe box but they are very soft leather so I do think they will stretch as others mentioned. Flexible sole is very comfortable to walk in. Heel is very comfortable as well.

This shoe seemed like the answer to all my needs: a stylish, comfortable dress shoe that I could work from work to happy hour to a date. Now that I've had it for a month, I can say the shoe met about 80% of my expectations. Pros: it's comfortable for a mini wedge. The Nike air technology helps and my unusually wide feet were extremely comfortable. It is very versatile...I can wear with jeans or a work dress. Cons: it's not necessarily a "pretty" dress shoe. Despite the bit of heel, my fiance described it as "frumpy." Also, it definitely won't "work" with a sexy dress for the evening. My biggest gripe is the quality. Now that I've worn it for a month, the fabric inside and outside is visibly wearing and I don't expect for this shoe to last longer than 6 months.

I was looking for new shoes for work that had a small heel and provided a great deal of comfort. I was initially turned off to these due to the price. I've only had them for about a month and so far, they are well worth the money. They look great and I can wear them all day, even when I'm on my feet a lot. I hope they continue to prove their worth over time.

For someone who hasn't worn anything but flats for quite a few years, I found these relatively comfortable. I wear a 5-W and these seem to fit well.

About as comfortable as "dress" shoes can be for someone with flat feet, a bum ankle, bunions, and plantar fasciitis. I've never had the experience of being able to walk all day without pain in any attractive pair of shoes, but this has come the closest so far.

I have these in red, which don't appear to be available at the moment. They're super comfy and cute. I wore them one afternoon/evening walking around Manhattan, standing on rooftop bars, racing through Times Square to get to a late show, and for a long meander back to the hotel after a long day. They were comfortable, easy to walk in, and the perfect complement to a cute sundress.

These are comfortable for a dressier casual shoe. I have problem feet and the elastic accommodates my bunion nicely and there is some arch support (not tons). For me, these won't be all-day work or walking shoes, but for a few hours, they are tolerable. The silver color is darker than pictured; I like it because it will look fine with dark blues, reds, and black in winter. It's a rich, nice-looking metallic.

I had this exact pair of shoes last year and wore them to death. They were comfy right out of the box. This pair, however, was really uncomfortable. Not willing to work on stretching them at this price. Back they go.

This shoe is remarkably comfortable. I have wide feet and bunions, so I have a hard time finding shoes I can wear. These shoes were comfortable to walk in the first time I wore them. They look nice as well. I just wish I could get the sandstone in my size.

This is my second pair of air Talis and I have nothing but good things to say about these shoes. Very comfortable, even after hours on you feet, easy to clean with a damp cloth. I usually wear a 7 but the 7.5 seems to fit better for this shoe.

These are wildly comfortable, although a little boring. I'm used to wearing heels all the time, but I needed something that wouldn't be so tough post pregnancy. These were perfect. Well worth the money.

I LOVE these shoes! I have worn them a ton and they still look brand new. They go with so many different items and I love that they have a slight heel rather than just a straight flat! I need the height as I am only 5ft 1". They are also very comfortable!

Love the fun color of these shoes. Look great with skinny jeans - a little bit more than a ballet style flat, but not a huge platform look either.

This shoe works very well for me -- I own it in three colors. I am sometimes a 6-1/2 and sometimes a 7 in Cole Haan shoes, and a 6-1/2 fit fine in this one. I like the fact that it gives the look of a ballet-type flat from the front view, with just a hint of lift from the wedge. The sandstone color is a great neutral.
