Way too small.
The shoe looks great. I’m a size 12 wide, I tried to see if these D width would work as these are half the price of other grand shoes. These shoes not only were tight but rolled foot up. These did not even come close to fitting in width. If you’re normally a Wide shoe guy, these won’t even come close.

Magnificent, magnificent beasts
I initially found one (not the whole pair, much to my chagrin) of these in a major retail chain's outlet store. I absolutely LOVE the warm, vibrant tan tone with rust overtones. I spent about four hours in the store trying to find the other half of the pair and failed miserably. I came home, searched for about 9 hours online, got VERY frustrated, and then the next day these popped up in a desperation search on Amazon. The one click buy button didn't know what hit it. When they finally arrived, they looked like the first pair, and I may have done a bit of a victory lap. I absolutely love them and they go great with most of the tricky pairs of jeans I have; much better than the muted, boring brandy colors that are choking the market. A couple points that I should add- they fit and feel like very comfy sneakers instead of rigid dress shoes, and they aren't waterproof. If any water drops hit them, they get some deep, dark brown stains on them till they dry out.

Is it a sneaker? Is it dress shoe? Is it a hybrid? I don't know but I like it.
A lot of the dressier looking shoes I have tried cut into my ankle and became painful to wear after a few hours. These shoes are great because they are sort of a hybrid between a dress shoe and a sneaker. It's not super comfortable like a sneaker, nor is it uncomfortable like a dress shoe. The rubber sole helps tremendously with walking and standing for long hours unlike a wood or leather sole that usually kills my feet.Fit is great overall, it's a little longer in the toe box but it curves in to keep my foot from slipping around inside so maybe that's just the style of this shoe. Otherwise it fits as expected and I'm a 10 1/2 that fits well in most sneaker brands. My foot is a little narrower than most so if you have what you believe to be a normal or wide width foot then a wide in your size will probably fit you better.All purists will want to stay away because these are not your typical dress shoes. The material used is a textile designed to mimic leather and the shoe can look a little off an observer with it's rubber sole. If, however, you're like me and you want to wear a shoe that looks snazzy, but you don't want to suffer for it then check these out.

Good Oxford work shoes for office work
I have tried to find consistent work shoes for a hospital environment, to look professional and somewhat formal. Wing tips and other more high end shoes that look more elegant are often uncomfortable. These Haan Grand Tour plain flat oxfords have met my needs. True to other reviews-they arrived and felt tight (I bought a half size up-but they were still tight). However, I used my shoe insights overnight (the wooden ones that keep the shoe shape) over a few days they stretched out. Then they were very comfortable and are super light. There has been no problems with the shoes (see many other reviews of shoes where they tear or are defective) and if I had to stand a lot I believe they would still be comfortable> Unlike some dress shoes they are also very comfortable to walk in. As I wrote in the beginning of this review-if you want an elegant and very stylish shoe for the corporate board room or to impress a high end client or to attend a elegant event-I would pick a different shoe. However for health professionals or others needing a formal and comfortable shoes these are excellent. I may buy and keep a pair on ready reserve -just in case they discontinue them.

Much tighter than expected
Much much tighter than expected. I've been wearing Cole haans for years and all of a sudden one pair is too long and narrow and now these are shorter and tighter than I expected. Cole haan must have changed their sizing, but I could easily wear a full size larger with these shoes.

Give it a minute
When I first put these on my left foot was a little snug. The toebox however wasn't scrunched at all. I was thinking I needed to return but there is some give and they do apparently stretch. Wore them and they got really comfortable and I didn't notice the tightness after an hour. Really pleased.

They run snug but look good
These are not your standard Cole Haans which is a bummer. I’m a 10.5 Cole Haan in every pair I’ve ever owned but these are waaaay to tight at the toe box. I love the shows but I’d need to do an 11 or 10.5W which they don’t have. I don’t have a wide foot at all but the style just didn’t work for me and I don’t have a shoe stretcher at home for them. Returning them but if you can order a half size up or the wide if it’s available in your size unless you have a narrow foot.

Good
I am fairly happy with the purchase. Have been wearing them for about 10 days and they are breaking in pretty nicely. I ordered half size up and I think had I ordered my standard 10.5 they would have been too tight. I would order your normal size only if you have a narrow foot otherwise I think half size up is needed. I dont see that they are real leather - normally you would see "genuine leather upper " somewhere on the inside of shoe. I am a little concerned with the bottom of shoe peeling away from boot , It didnt seem to be glued 100 percent but it is holding so far. All in all they look good and i think a good buy.

Medidas diferentes entre modelos.
Me quedaron ajustados que después de un rato usándolos incomoda. En cuanto a comodidad de suela son buenísimos. Tengo tres pares de zapatos cole haan y los 3 son 7.5m y varían en tamaño. Uno me queda bien otro grande y este último ajustado.

Fit 1/2 size to small.
I wanted a comfortable pair of dress shoes for winter.Not the most stylish but a good maker and were priced good.I take a size (10) all day long from every manufacture and Unfortunately these fit 1/2 size to small.
