Cole Haan Original Grand Platform Wingtip Oxford Black/Cheetah Print Sneakers (Black/Cheetah Print, 5)

I've already received several compliments on how these shows look from my co-workers after wearing them twice. But I've also been impressed by how comfortable they are! I am a scientist who leads a team of chemists and need to have full coverage shoes for safety considerations. These fit the bill perfectly and give me a little burst in the height department too.

I read all the other reviews meticulously before buying this shoe. For most shoes of this type, I would opt for a size 6. Based on the reviews, I went with a 5.5, and I'm glad I did. There is *some* heel slippage, but not really enough that it bothers me. The width feels normal to me. I wear the shoes at work, and I've been really impressed with how comfortable AND professional they look. I walk a lot, and these shoes feel like they can go anywhere. Overall, I'm really impressed, and I'm planning to save up for a second pair in another color. It's a pain that none of my Cole Haan shoes seem to be sized consistently, but at least I bought the correct size here!
