Cole Haan

Piper Mule

Women's

These shoes are so beautiful and so comfortable! I am a huge fan of Cole Haan shoes for work. I work in a corporate environment but I am frequently on my feet so I am always looking for a shoe that looks professional (not grumpy) but let’s me focus on things other than my feet. These shoes definitely deliver on both! I was concerned that the pointed toe may be too tight for my average width, but bunioned, feet so I ordered a half size up. I would recommend sizing up for anyone with a wider foot or issues with bunions.

The minute I saws these, I knew I wanted them. I looked all over at other mules, and at the time there weren't many in snake print. None matched Cole Haan in the right sized block heel, some cushioning and the quality of the print itself. I had a pair of Haan's I got on sale when I worked at Neiman an husband ago, over 30 years. I still have them! Aside from some sole refurbishing, they are in great shape. These are cool, sexy shoes and while others of this type have come out, the Cole Haan is the perfect combination of style and comfort. My feet are narrow, but I wear a "mule sock" with it and it helps the fit. Otherwise, they do squeak a bit. Also considering a piece of moleskin on the sides. These are year round shoes in California, unless it's raining. You can go all Audrey Hepburn with some slim black slacks or wear them with a skirt. Classic or funky, they are fun shoes and I am not a "shoe person."

I got these shoes in the snakeskin but had to size up 1/2 a size. I have the leopard (love!) in my typical 8 1/2 and can not get enough of these shoes! When I saw the snakeskin on sale, I grabbed them, but had to size up to a 9 in those since they are more stiff and felt more narrow. The 8 1/2 were too small. Loving them and getting TONS of compliments. Very comfortable and stylish. Walked all day in these shoes with no discomfort.

These very well-made Cole Haan shoes, or mules really have a pointed toe. Or, I think they do. When I put them on, my first thought was 'OHMG!' just how BIG are my feet?' I looked in a three-way mirror. I am 5'9" and wear a size 7 1/2 B feet looked as though I might have accidentally put the box on, they appeared so large. I've only had experienced that a couple of times. Also, they were very difficult to keep on - I have standard feet, nothing unusual about them. In the past I've worn mules without difficulty. But, I have had a very hard time keeping some mules where they belong - on my feet. Since these were so high over the arch, covering a lot of the foot, they would stay on. WRONG! They did not! They are lovely shoes. Probably a lady with a wider foot may be able to wear them. You might try them. After all, thanks to Zappos we can return without charge. Who knows, they may do what you are wanting. They seemed comfortable for no more than I walked in them.

Very well made shoe. Top quality leather. Comfortable right out of the box. Looks great with pant and skirts. I wish there were more colors. I would definitely buy another pair.
