Customer Reviews Cole Haan Generation Zerogrand II

I work retail and stand 8 to 9 hour shifts. Because I wear a uniform, sneakers are really the best way to show some personality. And I very much need a shoe with shock absorbing midsole. These look in person like they do on screen. I wear a size 11/42 but most shoemakers are stingy in their sizing. These are not that. The 11/42 feels and fits closer to a 12/43. So, back they go for an exchange to the right size and for me to wear them to spreads as my summer sneaker/closed-toe go-to! I’m 6 feet tall, 180lbs. I live in a driving city but have lived in a transit city and know that these would do just fine walking from the train to work and all day then back,

Hi, this did not fit or feel like the quality one would expect from Cole Haan. Felt flimsy. I support their goal of sustainable materials but more work to do here on these "dandelion" shoes. Thanks.

Incredibly comfortable right out of the box! Very, very lightweight and pillow soft to walk in. I have the Earth Day color which may be more fabric-y than the other colors; it has a fantastic kind of stretchy fit where you slide your foot in which I find very easy to slip on. The style is a little more funky than my standard canvas sneakers, but I wanted something light with lots of cushion and this is both of those things! My feet are average width, I find some brands to feel slightly too narrow for me; these are very comfortable width-wise. I'm a size 39 (8 in most US shoes), I went with my typical size 8 with these and they fit great. They are structured such that your heel is higher than the ball of your foot which I find only mildly noticeable, though it hasn't caused any discomfort after day-long wearing. As someone who prioritizes purchasing vegan, sustainable sneakers, I really like what they've done with this shoe!

Love, love LOVE this shoe! Super lightweight. Attractive - can be worn with sweats as well as nice slacks and a blazer. Easy to spot clean. Very comfortable. Perfect support on the inside. Easy to tie - nylon laces. Shoes don't get much more comfortable than these!

Lots of Cole Haan medium width shoes fit my slightly wide feet and I hoped these would because they were not leather. But alas these were quite narrow. They’re cute though and I’d enjoy them if they were wide enough.

These are THE most comfortable sneakers I have ever purchased and I have over 100 pairs of shoes. The only negative is they get really dirty really fast because the soles are white and they’re a light pastel lilac color. Other than that I love these sneakers one of my favorites. Buy your true size.

These shoes are so comfortable! I ended up finding the blue version on the Cole Haan site, so returned the pink. But now I'm' sad because the pink ones were VERY nice. They run wide.

I absolutely love these! I found the regular width to be wide enough for my wide foot. Not great for a narrow foot. The pink is a gorgeous color lilac color. I returned them, and went with the blue version.

I have capsulitis in my second toe joint and have been desperately seeking a pair of supportive sneakers that do not look orthopedic and are available in wide. I can’t stand the look of Hokas and my Brooks are just for running. I have returned Sketchers and Rockports and PIKOLINOS (no wides) in this search and finally found this perfect pair! I love everything about these except I wish the sole didn’t protrude so far from the heel. I’ll deal with it tho. I intend to buy in more colors.
