Cole Haan Grand Court Modern Sneakers

I've bought so many sneakers lately it's ridiculous. I do wear them every day for a variety of reasons from walking to fashion, but I have suddenly in the last few years been plagued by poorly fitting shoes, in all styles! My biggest problem with the fit of sneakers, even a few Cole Haan, is that my heel slips out and does not feel like it's really on your foot securely. I've always bought leather, and while I love the soft leathers, I am tired of the creases that occur in the front of the shoe after not very many wearings. I am the odd person that likes my shoes to look clean and new, for at least the first year, especially since I probably wear them less than 6 to 8 times in that year. This recent pair I bought is replacing my Monk straps that I bought last year because they are badly creased and look five years old when they're not. That said, these shoes feel great! I am a size 9 and I bought a size 9, and they are perfect with a sock. The heel feels very comfortable and secure and the laces actually do something to help the security which is not always the way things go. Sometimes it feels like they just tighten the front, but this is a well-made, nice looking, and very comfortable shoe. I hope it lasts longer than my next three week trip. Probably going to come home with a creased toebox but when you like softer leathers, that's what you get. I'm thinking maybe the suede will help it keep its shape a little longer. Clearly I'm very fussy about my shoes and I don't think you can go wrong with the fit and comfort of these.
