I was hoping these shoes would come up high enough on my foot to give my bunion some relief, but that was not the case. It's right on it. These shoes are also really narrow. I suppose my foot is a bit on the wider side, but I definitely felt like my foot was too wide for these tiny shoes. I normally wear a 9 1/2 or a 10. The texture of the shoe is nice. It looks sparkly without getting glitter all over the place; however, I will have to return these because they are too narrow. I also noticed some slight bubbling in the material, but I was willing to live with it if the shoe fit well.

I got these in the leopard print. It's better than the average leopard print you'd see, but it is on the darker side. The dyed calf hair was done well, except that there was one spot on the back of one shoe that was completely bare, almost as if it had been worn down. I also felt that the sole was so thin that I'd wear through it very easily. For the price I expect not to have to bring a pair of shoes straight to the cobbler to protect them from walking in them! I am returning this shoe because I'm not in love with this particular leopard, and because I want something with a more substantial sole. I normally wear between 6.5 and 7, and I felt that the 7 was a bit tight. I don't normally have issues with width or arch support, but these felt tight in both length and width on my foot. I'm not sure if its only because these shoes come up much higher on my foot than any other flats that I own.

This is a great shoe! It's very comfortable with a little bit of padding in the bottom. I have been looking for a comfortable flat, and this is it! I usually wear a 7 or 7.5 and the 7.5 fits great. The zebra print on the pony hair is soft and expensive looking. Wonderful shoe from Nine West!

Great fit and color too. Bought it for my mom and she loves it! I wanted one for myself but couldn't find the same color.

I really like the shoes. The one negative is that they are a bit stiff and therefore not as comfortable for wearing all day or for a lot of walking as some other flats. Would order up 1/2 size to accommodate socks.

I really like this shoe. It covers all the bases from day to night wear and it is quite comfortable. Runs true to size but after a few wears will stretch just a bit so if it feels a bit snug initially, don't fret as it will give by the end of the day.

Love this shoe! Was a little tight on the tops of my feet at first, but have stretched out to the perfect size after one wear. I have bunions on both feet and these hide them well. Great shoe for the fall season!

Love these shoes! They are super stylish and I get a lot of compliments on them and the leopard really goes with everything. I usually am a true 8.5 but I got burned by a similar style in another brand being just a touch too small in my size so I got the nine. The 8.5 would have been fine, but the extra room is okay, especially since I put a insole in it for support/comfort. A great buy!

These shoes are adorable but I am a small size 5 and these are too big.

Love this shoe. It's more of a rose gold color than a yellow or white gold. I bought them to wear as flats at my wedding, after taking off the high heels. They were a great choice. I walked and danced in the flats all night, and have worn them across town, no blisters! They are very comfortable, and look good with short skirts, and with long black pants. In terms of flats, I've always sworn by the jCrew ones, but these were fantastic too.

I have flat feet and found this shoe really comfortable, but my partner with high arches tried it on and found it uncomfortable. For me, the great cushioning makes it a good shoe for walking 15 minutes to work and then putting in a long day. The shoes look great and I have gotten lots of compliments on them.

After reading reviews here and elsewhere advising to get a half-size smaller because these run wide, I tried both my usual size 5.5 and a 5. The size 5 isn't bad, but I think they're a tad short; I can feel my toe barely touching the front as I walk. So I think I'll stay with my usual size 5.5. For what it's worth, I stick to this size for Cole Haan pumps, too, despite the advice I've read to go up a half size because Cole Haan pumps supposedly are too narrow. The pumps haven't been too narrow for me, and these wingtips aren't too wide for me (though they are wider than dress pumps, obviously). So who knows. I would have preferred a smooth non-suede shoe for easier care, but the suede makes them very soft.

These shoes are extremely comfortable. It is like wearing running shoes, but with a much dressier look. I am amazed by how they feel and they look cool with jeans or casual pants. I ordered the other Cole Haan Alisa oxford, but these fit and feel better. I wear a 9.5 in Asics but got these in a 9. They fit fine with no breaking in. I have worn the black pair several times shopping with a lot of walking, with no discomfort at all. I ordered the tan pair too, but haven't worn yet. The sale price lured me in and then comfort/style lured me to two pairs.

First off, these shoes are so comfortable (with the nike technology) and versatile...I can speed walk/jog through NYC streets/crosswalks with ease. The lime isn't as bright as it is in the photo, so it isn't flashy and which I prefer. I love the maple color as it's neutral and can be dressed up or down, but they easily get dirty. In addition, I have gotten several compliments while wearing these shoes. :) So after reading several reviews, I ordered several sizes to find the right fit: 7.5, 7.5W and 8. I'm always an 8 in Cole Haan, although I have slightly wide feet. Most people sized down, but I found the 7.5 a little too snug. The 7.5W was better width-wise, but my toes felt cramped near the top. The 8's were slightly loose but okay to walk in if I put on thicker socks. Even though I knew the shoes would stretch out, I ultimately chose the 8's as I felt I'd be more comfortable wearing them (with thicker socks)...and that my feet would probably be bigger in the warmer months.

I bought this shoe in the black suede with the pink sole. It looks better in reality than in the picture -- sleeker and more stylish. I find Cole Haan generally to run too narrow for my foot which is narrow at the heel wideish at the front and with a very high instep. I found the best fit to be my regular size in the wide width. I tried sizing down as some reviews recommend but the shoe was too small to be comfortable. So, I would say that this style runs true to size and true to width for Cole Haan, but true to size and narrower than marked on an absolute scale -- the wide will not fit a truly wide foot. The memory foam in the footbed still feels a little firm in places but I expect it to conform as I wear the shoes more.

I had such high hopes for this shoe, I ordered it in the blue also. I really wanted to love them, but they aren't right for my feet. For me, there is too much tilt towards the inside ball of the foot, which while walking puts a lot of pressure and causes discomfort in my foot. Imagine your ankle in a turned in position vs rolling out. The cant of the shoe also affects my ankle/knee/hip alignment. Just uncomfortable for walking. The insoles are not removable, so an orthotic won't help. Since I already wore these to an all-day event, I'll have to keep them, but the blue ones are going back.

Reviewer: SallieT from DC
Overall: (3 Stars) Comfort: (4 Stars) Style: (5 Stars)
I wanted to love these, but they were not quite right for me. Here's the scoop: I ordered the black (and the sole is more a raspberry color than the neon pink that appears on my monitor. The real life color is much, much prettier and not as loud) and the tan (the sole there is pretty true to my monitor, more yellow-chartreuse than the color name "lime" suggests). The tan fit fine, perhaps even a bit generous, but the black was half a size too small -- even though both were marked as the same size. So that was a little odd. Also, the sole is not a springy rubber (like the classic Bass "bucks") but rather a pretty hard plastic and, as a result, it seemed less cushion-y than I had hoped, and a bit slippery. I was hoping these would work for an upcoming trip to Europe with a lot of walking, but they didn't seem to fit the bill for that. (I guess I'm stuck looking like a typical tourist in dumb walking shoes). For normal office/casual wear I think they'd be just fine and they are awfully cute.

My first pair of oxfords were a pair of Jil Sanders so I am sold on the look. However, the Cole Haan version lacks of bit of finesse in that they look like orthopedic shoes (on my feet anyway). Just my 2 cents.

I'm a size 8. I usually fit narrow sized shoes, but for me it was too narrow. So I had to return and in exchange ordered the wide size. It fits perfectly! Love the shoes. Can't stop getting compliments from people. Sometimes even total strangers. Great look with great comfort!

From the moment I put these on they were comfy. No need for a break in period and no blisters on the back of the heal. They are a perfect combination of traditional - oxford - with a little twist - that neon color is a great spark. I waited for the first pair to show up then ordered another in a different color within the hour. I also have a little bit wider feet but the medium width was just fine.
