An elegant collision of tradition and modernity combines a handsome, genteel American classic with the ingenuity of our ZeroGrand technology. ZeroGrand is a revolutionary merging of fashion and technology. Outsole, insole and upper are all engineered for greater flexibility and under-foot comfort and lighter weight. An injected spine outsole of extremely lightweight proprietary tri-density EVA cushioning foam with deep grooves mimics the natural motion of the foot. Advanced plastics replace traditional heavy steel shanks to provide stability with much less weight.. Genuine natural storm welt provides durability and weather resistance. Cole Haan has been one of America’s premium luxury brands for nearly 80 years, epitomizing artisan quality and impeccable craftsmanship and style. Founded in 1928 as a collaboration between Trafton Cole and Eddie Haan, Cole Haan was originally a men’s footwear label that captured the essence of the 20s spirit with beautifully-designed and well-made shoes for the dapper gentleman. Today, Cole Haan brings that heritage to all of its products, including men’s and women’s dress and casual footwear, belts, hosiery, handbags, small leather goods, outerwear and sunglasses.
