Customer Reviews Cole Haan Howland Penny

I love these shoes. They are as comfortable as slippers but are a great business casual attire. The design of the sole maximize motion and gives surprising support. Highly recommended.

Comfortable shoe. Tried a number of similar shoes in other brands (Gordon Rush, BOSS) but nothing was as comfortable, or fit as well, as these Cole Haans. I'm normally a 10.5 but had to get these in a 10 for the correct fit.

Soft quality leather. Great with jeans or work. Run narrow but break in nicely. Really like them and my favorite Cole Haan so far.

This driver shoe is a bit narrower than stated (i.e. 12 Medium) as compared to Wyatt Venetian Driver which I ordered at the same time in the same size. The quality of the Howland Penny driver is better though - the leather is comparable to my Ferragamo loafer which I had for years. If your foot is on the narrow side - give it a try.

Old fashioned, but part of fitting in with country club crowd. Fits tight in the middle and generous in the toe. Hopefully stretches for more comfort.

7.5 was too big, 7 was too narrow. My son said the shoes were too stiff and hurt his heel. Unfortunately they were returned.

A little narrow.

Overall..just average Returned them

Way too big. Order a size smaller. Nice shoes

Very narrow.

These are very nice looking shoes but they were not comfortable. Thank goodness for Zappo’s simple return procedure!

These were recommended and happened to be on sale; they fit well and are stylish without being too stuffy. I had previously bought a 1/2 size down but they were definitely too small; the excellent Zappos support took care of the exchange no problem!

Finally had to replace my twelve-year-old pair after wearing through the leather at the toes. These shoes are ridiculously comfortable.

I bought these for my husband in a regular width but we had to exchange them for the wide. Even the wide isn't really wide so unless your foot is narrow buy the wide. He likes them and they're nicely made and look dressy for a casual shoe.

Very soft comfortable leather. As with all Cole Haans, I recommend ordering multiple sizes to see what fits best as their shoes don't seem to have consistent sizing. I normally wear a 14 W, but ended up going with a 13 W as these run a little big. The width is the toughest thing with Cole Haans; the wide is still not that wide (I'd compare to regular width for most shoes). You need really narrow feet to wear regular width Cole Haans. Once I get these broken in, I believe they will be very comfortable. Obviously, there isn't really any arch support with these as they are loafers.

Bought these for my husband, he likes them very much. The quality is great, nice soft leather. They may run slightly long but not a whole half size. He would definitely buy another pair.

Looks great but comfort is just ok

It is nice and very fashionable can win with jeans or dress pants.

I got the wide ones and they had a strange square toe. I would recommend getting the regular ones as they are much more stylish.

It seems impossible to find a driver style shoe that fits a wide foot. Very nice shoes in terms of appearance and quality but these are by far the most narrow shoes sold as "wide" width I can ever remember purchasing. I'm attempting to stretch them with shoes stretchers but will likely return unless the leather stretches out significantly.

Good on size and great looking show just too narrow even after getting and extra wide. Had to return as it hurt my foot and going to try a half size bigger.

Great value

9 M woks good for me for all Cole Haan, these were too small

These were very tight to get on, but once I did they were comfortable. The problem I had is that they are much lighter in color than the color in the picture.

Great shoe. Felt a bit too narrow for my foot although I typically don’t wear narrow.
