GrandPro Tennis Sneaker (Women)

I love the Grandpro line and have 4 other pairs from prior years. As with the other pairs, I took the larger of my two half-sizes (I go between 7 and 7.5) and it fit as expected. However, the metallic leather is very stiff vs. the suede or regular leather that's on my other pairs, and I could feel it rubbing firmly against my Achilles while taking a few test steps, so unfortunately returned, because they are super cute.

I wanted to love these shoes. I wanted a casual sneaker other than a running shoe. The leather and color (Brazilian leather) were great; good quality leather and great neutral color. However for a Cole Haan shoe it was not comfortable at all. I felt like i was walking on cement and there was no arch support whatsoever. They used to be known for their amazing comfort. I was so disappointed, I sent them back.

I purchased 3 pairs, but returned the rose leather because they weren’t very comfortable and were a bit stiff. However, the white and snake skin were comfy. I’m a true size 9 but sized up to 9.5 and so glad I did. They wouldn’t have fit as comfy if I hadn’t sized up. I wouldn’t wear these for a day at Disneyland, but for a fashion sneaker they are super cute and comfortable.

PROS: Great snake print in versatile neutral colors. My usual Cole Haan sneaker size of 9.5B fit just a bit more snug for the middle of the foot, but not enough to size up. Length fit well. CONS: The toe box is wide in this shoe, which would help customers needing that, but some people might find the forefoot not stable, if using for more than just a fashion shoe.

This is a low profile fashion sneaker that fit my size 9 feet true to size. The toe box is slightly wide which works well for feet with bunions. It doesn't have a ton of cushioning inside but it's fine for a fashion sneaker. The Brazilian Leather color is a ivory color that pairs well with my Tory Burch bag! The gold detailing on the back with the Cole Haan logo on the heel is lovely.
