Reader’s Digest Added Cole Haan Sneaker-Style Upper to the Best List

In 1928 Trafton Cole and Eddie Haan designed the first Cole Haan shoe. It was Chicago, the jazz age. Quality was everything – and style, like the sound, was smooth and sophisticated.

cole-haan.jpgToday Cole Haan is America’s premier style and luxury brand. Each season we introduce an exciting new collection of high-quality men’s and women’s footwear, iconic handbags, personal leather goods and hand-tailored coats. We are inspired by a passion for innovation and beauty, from authentic handcraft to the fast-forward excitement of NIKE AIR Technology.

A dynamic luxury brand, Cole Haan defines the ultimate in artisan quality and detail … chic, on-trend fashion … ‘downtown’ style that is unique and eclectic … and beautiful products that people love to own. A wholly owned subsidiary of NIKE, Inc, we have our global headquarters in New York City and Yarmouth, Maine. (Source: Cole Haan 2008)

Cole Haan has stepped up to the challenge of making footwaer both fashionable and functional by adding Nike Air technology to 21 of its dress and casual pairs. The sneaker-style cushioning is hidden uder the heel and ball of each shoe, making even four-inch stilettos for women and rugged hiking boots for men a whole lot cozier to knick around in and walk for blocks as well.

Within the Nike Air technology, there are a number of different types of innovation that are specific to different sport end-uses. For this high heel, the Nike “Zoom” air bag, which has proven successful in field sports like football, soccer, golf and baseball, was selected. It works well in sport shoes that require the foot to have specialized contact with the ground, and in which the shoes are relatively low profile (verses the fullness of a tennis shoe or basketball shoe). Importantly, as with all Nike technology, Zoom Air does not break down under repeated pressure over time.
Of course, the most important step was making sure that women felt the difference. Indeed they did. Extensive testing at the NSRL showed that in multiple “blind” wear tests, women walking around in the heels with Zoom Air consistently perceived the shoes as far more comfortable than women wearing the same heels without Air.

I Found Stylish Comfortable Shoes

Monday, March 26th, 2007

I’m a diva. I know it and admit it. Everyone who knows me I’d rather look cute in a pair of shoes and sacrifice comfort in a heartbeat. But I have been in search of a comfortable shoe. Unfortunately all the comfy shoes look just like that. Comfortable. Where’s the style, the oomph factor. Well, I think I found it. Cole Haan with Nike Air Technology. When I first saw this line of shoes, there were only a few options. Now they have some seriously sexy shoes that I can wear with comfort. Check them out:

Flat Out Gorgeous

Wednesday, January 24th, 2007

I’m not a fan of flats. I much prefer heels to those flat shoes that give no shape to the leg and help with a graceful walk. However, I realize that flats are a necessary evil. To that end, Nordstrom has some pretty new cute flats on it’s site. Since I work on my feet on occasion, a stylish pair of flats with good cushioning and support are of utmost necessity. I found a couple pair that I could live with.via-spiga.jpg
This Via Spiga black patent slingback flat with a bow across the toe would look chic with either pants or skirt. A nice office shoe, or a good shoe for someone who has to stand for long periods. I love this brand, their shoes wear well and last for years if properly cared for.

stuart-weitzman.jpg I love Stuart Weitzman shoes. His shoes are usually sexy and glamorous. These patent flats, also with a bow come in brown or black.

One last pair that I am definitely going to purchase are by Cole Haan with the Air technology from Nike. Black patent, with a twist on the Mary Jane and extremely cute. Nordstrom’s descriptions:
cole-haan.jpgPatent leather trims a quilted calfskin mary jane, designed with a fully padded sock liner, ultimate Nike Air cushioning and a lightweight rubber nub sole. Leather upper and lining/rubber sole.
By Cole Haan; imported. $165
Salon Shoes.

With flat out gorgeous shoes like these, a devoted stiletto diva like me can have a change of heart.

About Shoe Boxers

Would you rather spend your last dollar on a killer pair of Jimmy Choo stilettos or save your cash and traipse around town in a pair of last years flip flops? If you chose the latter, this site is not for you. Shoeboxers is for the Shoe Diva. For the girl who stands out in a crowd – likely because her 4 inch heels have her towering over everyone else.
