Cole Haan satin boat shoes

Cole Haan is not on my usual Northpark route, but on a treacherous journey to find a picky someone lace ups for his suit, we stopped into Cole Haan. There's some good stuff in there. He didn't find the elusive lace ups, but I spotted these Air Gabi boat shoes. (Some of Cole Haan's shoes use Nike Air technology.)

Available in canvas and satin styles (I love this navy/cranberry color combo in satin), they're $155.

Vanessa Hudgens: I Love My Cole Haan Shoes

It’s hard to believe that Vanessa Hudgens is only 18. She already has a long resume for her age, has the pose down, and possesses great fashion style (or has a great stylist). Take, for example, these pumps that she wore while promoting Disney’s High School Musical 2 on various morning shows. Vanessa gets two fashion thumbs up for wearing shoes by Cole Haan, one of my favorite shoe brands. Cole Haan is owned by Nike so there is a certain level of comfort that you know you’ll get in their shoes. I’m guessing that Vanessa is all smiles in these photos because her feet aren’t hurting. Besides comfort, I love how elegant this d’Orsay looks - with a beautiful grayish-blue color and leather with snake detail, what more can you ask for?
