Customer Reviews Cole Haan Air Carma Open Toe Pump

My toe sticks out too much. It usually does this in OT shoes, but I was hoping the opening was smaller in these shoes. I will keep them, though, because they are so comfy and work appropriate!

Classic and elegant design with clean lines. The Air sole definitely makes a difference for wearing these shoes for stretches of time at work. The heel has a unique seam design toward the top - some may not like, I don't mind it. I like that Cole Haan includes extra heel sole tips for replacement. Great to find a shoe where heel slip is not an issue for me - often a problem in other "comfort" styles.

I really wanted these shoes to work for me. I have a friend that has them and loves them but I they run so small they don't fit me. I am normally a 5 1/2 and they were way to small so I exchanged them for a 6 and they were still way too tight. I think I might need them in a wide but they don't have them in wide so I'm out of luck. If you have narrow feet and order them a size up you will probably love them.

I normally wear a size 8, but it was too tight and maybe even a little bit short. So I re-ordered them in 8.5. But I could tell that they will be super comfy, and the higher than normal heel for me shouldn't be a problem. If you're debating, go ahead and order them, you can always free return ship!

Third try is a charm; usually wear 8.5 or 9; needed a 9.5. Have a wider foot, and although I never buy C or D width, probably would have benefited with this shoe in a wider width if it were in stock and may have gotten away with a size 9.

These are good, but not great shoes. I was hoping to like them after seeing how popular they were on Zappos. They were So close but they just did not work for me. The look is fantastic; sophisticated and subtly sexy. For 3" heels they were comfortable (for the most part). I did find the rim of the shoe and the outline of the peep toe to be very stiff and started hurting after only a few seconds of having them on. Once stretched they may feel OK but I probably will not make it that far with them. They also show a bit more toe cleavage than I would consider wearing for a polished and put-together look. These shoes are worth a try if you are looking for basic pumps.

I just purchased these shoes and they arrived today. I've not worn them out of the house yet, but I am happy that they fit! I've worn a 7 in a Cole Haan sandal from a few years ago, but a 7.5 fits in these shoes.

Just as the other reviewers mentioned, it is a very narrow toe box. I took the shoes to a Cole Haan store and they stretched it overnight. It's more comfortable now.

This is a wonderful shoe! Very stylish and comfortable. The heel is a bit high for me and it runs slightly big but the smaller size would be too small.

This shoe is very pretty however I have a wide foot and ordered the c width and it is not wide enough. Had to send it back.

I love these shoes -- the leather is excellent quality, the Nike air technology does ease the pressure on the balls of my feet, and the look is just pure Cole Haan, classy. However, I ordered a pair with the widest width and it still pinches a bit at the widest part of my foot. If you have wide feet, I'd try them on first at an actual store and then buy them from Zappos once you're sure this style is comfortable enough.

Really, really comfortable! I am weak and usually cannot wear heels, but these are a keeper. There's plenty of room in the toe box, also. High quality leather, plus on sale, so I snagged a great deal. Thanks, Zappos!

A little stiff. Have only worn them once and they weren't the most comfy. Hopefully will soften up. Nice looking though and good heel height.

Oh the joys of a high quality shoe- solid construction, good leather... a step above Nine West, Aldo and Steve Madden. These are great looking, open toe platform pumps that make you feel like a million bucks. I wish they came in more colors, but I will definitely be experimenting with other Cole Hann shoes.

These are beautiful shoes, but they were super small on me--I don't know if Cole Haan in general runs a little small, but I have another pair of CH in 8.5 and they are comfortably snug. I ordered these in 8.5 and I couldn't get my foot into them! The peep toe is also kind of strangely shaped. It is in the shape of a triangle and the opening comes up too high, while being too narrow in the front and not showing enough of the toes.

First of all, these shoes are gorgeous, timeless, and very well constructions. Unfortunately, they were not as comfortable as I'd expected due to the width. My feet are wide across the bridge, narrow at the heel and have a high arch. I typically don't have problem fitting into wide widths from other brands, but these were still too narrow. Not horribly so, but definitely wish I'd broken them in before wearing. With another wearing or two, they'll probably be fine...but had them on for a good 7 hours for first wearing and it was way too long.

This is an amazing shoe. Extremely stylish and comfortable. I bought this particular shoe for the Nike Air technology, and it does not disappoint. I wear it to the office and it is comfortable enough to leave on the entire day. I do suggest that if you are between sizes, you size up to the next half size.

Beautiful shoes, as all Cole Haan's are. But have you ever had shoes that are so comfortable for about 4 hours and then excruciating the rest of the day? These are those shoes, at least on my feet. But I love them anyway. I'll just be like Cinderella I guess. :)

These are BEAUTIFUL shoes and relatively comfortable BUT the wide width is NOT wide. Despite the open toe, they especially cramped one of my feet in the front (despite the fact that I usually DO fit in regular width shoes)...so wide feet buyers beware.

Superb classic! Choose them for my brother's theme wedding and worn them all day, so they could be worn for work. Note about 4 star: I choose to take mine to a local cobbler to attach a thin traction strip, because the gorgeous red sole was slippery even in the house making dinner.

Great looking, good height, perfect for work. Unfortunately, they are narrower than other Cole Haans I own. Hoping they'll stretch a little but wish I'd gotten 1/2 size larger.

The shoes are very sexy and comfortable. The leather is soft and, unlike other peep-toe shoes I've tried recently, it does not dig into your big toe (I purchased the regular black leather -- not sure if the patent is any different). My only problem with them is that there is heel slippage (I've had a similar problem with other Cole Haan pumps). I tried the 7.5, the 8 and the 8 narrow thinking it had to do with the width. It didn't. I decided to keep them anyway because they are very nice-looking and I like the height of the heel. FYI -- I've marked them "wider than marked" simply because I kept the 8 narrow. That said, I wear between a 7.5 and an 8. My feet swam in the 8 regular (width). The 7.5 were too tight.

Pretty shoe, but not nearly as comfortable as reviews indicated. My toe slid out the "peep" and rubbed the skin off the top within an hour. Guess I needed a AAA because it was too wide in the front of the shoe. Otherwise, the shoe is conservative and well-made. Just not great for long days on your feet.

Great shoes; I would have liked them in patent leather but they were unfortunately unavailable. Had to wear them a couple of times for 15 minutes before actually wearing them for the whole day. But after the wear, I wore them at work and to the office party, and danced all night. I would recommend them to anyone; they are true to size and a great buy. I am a small size and never could find great looking shoes that fit but here they are. Much better than Ros Hommerson in terms of look and fit. A+.

Great looking shoe, but slips off the back of my ankle.
