Customer Reviews Cole Haan Grandpro Breakaway Sneakers

These are cute in pictures, useless as shoes. There is NO cushioning at all. Nothing. No arch support either. Just perfectly flat and hard inside. They were my normal size 7.5 but the reviews said they were very narrow so I ordered wide, for first time in my life. They fit like a usual 7.5 medium. The hell rubs, they rubbed my feet in several places inside, and in general were made only for looks, not to wear. Worst shoe I've tried in years. Purchase at your own risk, you'll be returning them like I am, and they arrived about an hour ago. Save your money!

I nearly didn't try these because of the review that said there was no cushioning and zero support - I'm so glad I did! These are gorgeous, well constructed shoes, with plenty of cushiness and arch support. I initially tried my usual size (7.5, regular width), but the toe box is pretty shallow and my big toe was hitting the top of the shoe. And as other reviewers have noted, they are narrow fitting, so I went with an 8 wide and they are perfect. Love 'em!

Beautiful shoes!!! I don’t normally wear or buy wide shoes . But I purchased these in 10 wide ( C) and they fit perfectly. I usually wear 10 m in all sneaker street shoes . If you have real medium width feet and get swelling from time to time . Buy Wide in your regular size .

I couldn’t love these sneakers more! They’re really cute and extremely comfortable. When I first got them the tongue bothered me but I stopped lacing the top hole and after wearing a few times with a slightly thicker sock it’s fine now. I have narrow feet and since they fit me great they probably run a bit narrow.

These are very nice looking sneakers, but the sizing is very abnormal. My size is 6B, neither narrow nor wide, so I purchased size 6, and could barely squeeze my foot in. They were so narrow and tight that I had to take them off immediately. If I buy a wide, I don’t know if I need a half a size or whole size up. Debating whether to just return or exchange them. Another thing is that they’re very flat with zero arch support, so they’re really for fashion and not a lot of walking.

I really like these shows because they fit well with plenty of room in terms of width. I don't have wide feet but often find many shoe brands can be too tight. These shoes are well-made. The sole is substantial (many shoes feel like I'm walking directly on the ground with no cushion) and the footbed is comfortable. They are really cute and sporty. I work in a very casual dress environment and don't want to wear athletic shoes so these are a great compromise. I don't know why Zappos recommended size 8.5 when I don't buy that size. I bought both 8.5 and 9 and the 9 was the best fit.

The insole is very flat and hard. It does NOT come out! I tried adding my custom insole, but it filled the shoe too much. I have narrow feet, and this was a medium. Also the entire shoe was very hard and stiff.So disappointing.

Poor fit and uncomfortable. The upper material is stiff. Shoe laces too short to tie. Not up to the quality expected of Cole Haan. I tried my usual size, an 8 1/2 B. I exchanged them for an 8 1/2 C that I had to return. Neither size was wide enough.

I have a wide ft. 100 mm at widest part. These wide shoes must be closer to 85 cm. They are also short with very little vertical room in the toe box.

Like others have said, the sizing on these shoes seems to be a little wonky. The majority of my shoes are size 10s with a few 9.5s sprinkled here and there. Based on reviews, I initially ordered a 10 and got the C/Wide width even though my normal shoe width is a B. The width ended up being perfect, to the point that I'm not sure I would have been able to get my foot in a 10 B...but they were a half size too big and looked and felt like I was swimming in a too long shoe. Ordered the 9.5 C/Wide and voila, they fit perfectly. They have the same amount of arch support as I'd expect from any non-athletic sneaker. I got the leopard print and they are CUTE. To the point that my husband even commented on them and listed other friends of mine who he predicted would go nuts when they saw them. Happy with the 9.5, 10s are on their way back.

The sneakers had a terrible odor a chemical smell. I ordered 8 wide and 8 1/2 medium I would have kept the 8 1/2 but the odor was so bad I returned both pairs.

I did not try these on since they were previously worn. And I mean well-worn -- in appearance and odor.

What? I wear a 7 and couldn’t even get my foot into the 7wide. These looked cheap too. Very disappointed.

These shoes were tight and stiff.

Cute sneaker, nice very subtle soft gold. However, my normal shoe size 5.5 was so tight it was hard to put on (even in wide width), so I kept the size 6 even though they were a little longer in the toe box than I would prefer. Feel so cool wearing these!

I love love love these sneakers, I am on my feet all day, I walk a lot, allows me to be stylish and comfortable. I have them in 2 colors and I think I might get a 3rd! I get compliments on them.. they are perfect!

I listened to the reviews and although I’m normally a size 7 medium width, I ordered 7.5 wide. Perfect fit! So comfy and lots of cushion.

So comfortable right out of the box.

Love Cole Haan Grandpro Breakaway Sneaker, I also own a pair in white. Super comfortable, fashionable, easily dressed up or down. Love the brown contrast.

Shoe was outstanding, however, style was the problem.

These are pretty darn cute, if you're into a little gold shine (that's why I gave them a 5 for style). But, I could hardly get my feet in them, despite being the right size. Could just be me. I wanted to like them, but had to return –- I think if you have a narrower foot, they might be just right.
