Cole Haan Grand Aerion Plain Toe Oxford

Whatever's got you dressing up today — the interview, the farewell talk, a wedding you're standing up in — you shouldn't have to think about your feet by hour three. The Grand Aerion looks like a classic oxford but wears nothing like one. Cole Haan built it on a soft, cushioned sole instead of a traditional welt, so it moves closer to a sneaker than a dress shoe once you've got it on. The leather upper keeps the sharp, clean lines a plain toe oxford is supposed to have. Pick British Tan/Ivory to go with a suit, or Black/Ivory when you need it to disappear into the outfit. Either way, they're built to be worn all day, not just looked at.
