Customer Reviews Cole Haan Mariela Air OT Pump

This is my first review. I absolutely love this shoe (along with other Cole Haan's with the Nike air technology). This shoe is not only sexy but very comfortable. I have back problems and am not really supposed to wear heels, but I just can't give them up! This shoe makes me totally forget about my back problems. I wear these all day and have no problems. Cole Haan open-toed shoes run about a half size smaller than closed-toed shoes. I normally wear a size 10 and in these shoes, I wear a 9.5. Enjoy! These are worth the money!

These are too orangey - and for the price the cork is cheap looking, and I'm afraid it will wear down if they get wet or dirty.

My favorite pair of pumps was a similar pair of Cole Haan, so when I needed a new pair that was my first choice. Wore these beautiful shoes to a wedding and receptions, so I was on my feet for 6 hours. This is the first time a pair of shoes caused such pain. They were not tight, so it must have been the angle of the foot. It is four days later and my feet are still numb and tingly, as if they fell asleep. It might be a pinched nerve, I just hope it improves. So, a warning to all, if they bothers you within the first hour of wearing, take them off!

I'm 63 years old but 5'2 (and overweight). With an important social function to attend I wanted/needed height. In my search for comfort and style I found these. Girls, these are the most comfortable high heel around. Beats all the others (for me) regardless of price. These are investment shoes, yes, but Cole Haan has put comfort into them. I'm practicing walking in them due to the height but it's not like some of the others where I feel like I'm going to teeter over. Feminine, looks great and comfort. Why both with the others? My advice is not to go cheap with this type of shoe. That's dangerous and foolish. Spend the money and know that you wouldn't get a better shoe for more money than these. Very happy. Thanks, Cole Haan!

Unexpectedly fabulous shoe. Embarrassingly comfortable. Fits exactly 1.75 toes in the peep hole. The heel feels a little thicker and rugged than it looked in the picture, which is mostly fine. The up-side is that it's a very solid going-out heel that won't get eaten by a NYC sidewalk, that also looks nice fairly nice. (A Thursday shoe. Not a Saturday shoe.) They do just kill it with a pair of skinny jeans. They have also worked their way into the regular rotation of black pumps I keep under my desk in my office.

Fabulous shoe! It seems to run a half size too small, but this is a gorgeous pump that is super comfortable to wear all during the work day. At first, the shoe was noisy because of the Nike air, but that quickly went away after a few wears. Love this shoe!

Gorgeous shoes, but too high for me to walk comfortably. If the pitch wasn't so steep I would keep them!

Oh, my goodness, I am so pleased with this purchase! I bought the 'soft gold metallic' at sale price...still a little pricey for me, but I love these shoes so much I know I will get my money's worth out of them! I normally wear a size 7.5 in open-toe shoes or strappy sandals, an 8 in closed-toe shoes. I purchased these in size 7.5, and they fit like a glove. The shoe itself is a little narrow, but I have narrow feet so they are perfect for me. Still, the leather is quite soft, so if you have a wider foot, I suspect the shoes will eventually stretch-to-fit. I am also one to insist on only buying shoes that are comfortable, and these are super comfy! I don't know if it's the Nike Air technology or the softness of the leather, but for high-heeled shoes, these are pure joy. Thumbs up for comfort! I cannot wait to wear these with my white and brightly-colored dresses this Spring and Summer! Heck, they will look great with my black summer dresses too! Is there any way I can give these shoes 6 stars?

I'm normally between a 7.5 and 8. The 8 is too narrow and slightly small, and I have average width feet. I'll be sending back and ordering 8.5. The shoe is gorgeous and classic.

With the Nike Air technology you have no excuse not to wear high heels. The half inch high platform is even popular in Eastern Europe now so get with it! It is like wearing low heels, but more secure. Peep toe is a bonus (more circulation of air if you like that). The Black Patent are man made uppers, but may not matter if you are not wearing all day. All in all, these will be my favorite heels. Don't miss out on the sale price, Cole Haan is one of the highest quality and not priced like the trendy ones. You will be wearing them in 5 years.

I would highly recommend these shoes. They are very cute and comfortable. I do not regularly wear heels and was a bit nervous about the comfort, but these shoes are more comfortable than any other heels that I own. The fit was true to size and the color was very close to what I see on my computer screen. This was my first Zappos shopping experience and it was excellent!

I am not a heel-wearing-girl, but these are actually quite comfortable. So glad I got them for when I need to dress up. The toe area can be a little uncomfortable.

These heels are unbelievable. So sexy. They are very high but at the same time very comfortable, and the quality is out of this world. Highly recommend!

The most comfortable heel ever. Cushion in all the right places. Great soft cream color not taupe. Would recommend in any color. I buy all my heels a half size larger for extra room and these were perfect with the half size up.

Cole Haan's Nike Air for heels simply cannot be beaten. I have purchased Cole Haan heels with Nike Air time and again for their comfort, elegance, and durability- but mainly the comfort. The Mariela Air OT Pump certainly lives up to this standard. The heel is very high, but is off-set by the slight platform of the foot bed making for a comfortable heel. The Nougat colour is a very nice nude/bone shade very complimentary to my (slightly tanned) skin tone making my legs look much longer (hooray!). The Mariela, however, seems to run about a half size larger and slightly wider than other similar shoes by Cole Haan. There is also some funny puckering at the toe, but so minor that it does not take away from the overall appearance of the shoe.

Beautiful shoe and quite comfy for a pump, but unfortunately I had to return them because the 6.5 was a little too big and the 6 was too small.

This a beautiful, sexy shoe. I don't usually get such a tall heel but with the Nike Air Technology and the platform at the bottom it made walking in them as easy as a lower heel!

Most comfortable heels (high) out there. Get them. You'll have these forever so it's a good investment.

These are gorgeous shoes and I love the peep toe. I ordered my regular size, but they were a little small (half size up not available), so order 1/2 size up. However, I have to return them as the heel is too high for my 60 year old legs and feet to take. These are definitely a young person's shoes - too bad because they make your legs look awesome.

Absolutely love these shoes. They seem to fit true to size and I plan to wear them to a wedding reception. Haven't tested them all night yet.

Truly a beautiful, classy and very elegant shoe. I was amazed at how comfortable they were for the heel height. They look great with a suit, dressy capris, or a more formal pair of jeans. Definitely a great addition to my closet! My only complaint is that they did slip just a little so it might be worth ordering a half size smaller.

This is a great looking shoe. If Cole Haan heel's typically work for you this is a great addition to your collection. I have fully converted to only buying nike air Cole Haan heels for great style and comfort. Fit is true to size and is comfortable given the height of the shoe because of the nike air and the platform.

These shoes are so soft & supple. I haven't worn them out of the house yet, but I can tell they will be very comfortable for being heels. The gold is the perfect tone to match a lot of stuff. So glad I got them!

These shoes are amazing, and totally worth the price. I was having trouble finding cute and comfortable shoes for work. I was worried about paying this much for a brand I'd never had before, especially after having so much trouble finding comfortable pumps lately, but after returning several other pairs of shoes and having a sizeable zappo's credit, I decided to give them a try. They're awesome. The heel is high, so if that bothers you, it might be a bit much. I find them to be very comfortable, though. They're stable, don't pinch my toes, and distribute my weight well. I liked them so much, I got a second pair of Cole Haan pumps and I wear one or the other almost every day. The style is understated but classically appealing and can be good for work or going out.
