Cole Haan Has the Most Comfortable Dress Shoes on Sale Ahead of Black Friday

3 min readTHIS IS THE time of year when I get dressed up the most. Between layering up for the cold office commutes and getting ready for holiday gatherings, I’m putting a little more effort into my outfits. But no matter how good I look, comfort is still a priority, especially when it comes to my feet. That’s why Cole Haan has become one of my go-to destinations for comfortable dress shoes. The brand has a knack for combining classic, polished styles with the level of comfort you’d expect from your favorite sneakers.And ahead of the Black Friday madness, Cole Haan is already rolling out some pretty sweet deals with markdowns up to 55 percent off select styles on the brand’s website and Amazon. Everything from dressy oxfords to everyday dress sneakers that can easily pull double duty are seeing a price drop. And while I wouldn’t be surprised if the discounts got even better once Black Friday officially arrives, I wouldn’t bank on your size still being available, so I would act sooner than later.SHOP AMAZON COLE HAAN BLACK FRIDAY SALESHOP COLE HAAN’S BLACK FRIDAY SALEBest for Dressy OccasionsThe biggest discount is the 2.ZERØGRAND Laser Wingtip Oxford, marked down 55 percent. It’s like a mashup of an athletic sneaker and a traditional dress shoe. The nubuck and polyester upper features a laser-cut wingtip pattern that puts a modern twist on classic broguing, while the lightweight sole keeps things from feeling too stiff or clunky. I’ve found that the Grandfoam—the brand’s proprietary cushioning—has a slightly squishy feel underfoot, but in a good way. There’s enough give to keep my feet comfortable without making the shoe feel unstable. Plus, the hybrid design looks just as good with chinos as it does with dress pants.For something a little more laid-back, check out the Grand Atlantic Sneaker at 44 percent off. It has that clean, tennis-inspired look that plays well with relaxed, business-casual outfits or straight-leg jeans and a sweater. What really sells me is how lightweight it feels. There’s a rubber sole underneath, but I barely notice it when I’m walking on these New York City sidewalks that aren’t exactly forgiving. I always throw this sneaker on for our photo shoot days that tend to go over eight hours.Now, if you’re looking for something a little more traditional, the Harmon Grand Cap Toe Oxford (30 percent off) is the way to go. Unlike the other two styles, this lace-up model leans more into classic dress-shoe territory, with a sleek cap-toe design that feels right at home with tailored trousers or a suit. I’d pull this out for a holiday party or any occasion that calls for looking a little more buttoned-up.Black Friday hasn’t even arrived yet, and Cole Haan is already offering discounts worth shopping. Sure, the deals could get even better once the big shopping weekend rolls around, but there’s no telling what deals will be left by then. If you’ve been eyeing a new pair, I’d take advantage of these early markdowns while you can.SHOP AMAZON COLE HAAN BLACK FRIDAY SALESHOP COLE HAAN’S BLACK FRIDAY SALEAs the Style and Reviews Editor for Men's Health, Joseph covers all-things fashion and grooming.
