These shoes are a good 10 years old and never worn . At the time Nike owned Cole Haan and collaborated together in design and technology. This particular pair was made at Cole Haan’s studio in Italy . They are unbelievably comfortable ( I’m still wearing another pair ). You won’t want to take them off even at a long days end . Fully lined in glove soft leather. Unfortunately Nike has sold Cole Haan so if you are a true size 8 1/2 M buy these before they’re gone .
