Cole Haan mens Somerset Venetian Ii

The media could not be loaded.  I love these shoes. I got the light ones (dark caramel) and they're beautiful. I'm going to purchase again in the darker color, unless they're actually black. The picture shows a nice dark brown.They look and feel great. I'm normally a size 9 1/2 but I got 10 and they fit perfectly. I'd error on the high side.The leather is high quality, they're comfortable enough that I wear them everyday, and they look much, much better than even new Dudes, let alone Dudes that have been washed a few times. They also have held up very well for the six months I've worn them.I always read bad reviews because they're often really helpful. But that doesn't mean they're all accurate. Here are two that don't pass the smell test to me (sic):"Leather is very stiff and will need either leather conditioner or a prolonged break in period.Would not recommend""Leather is terrible. Leather bubble up after a few wears. I was going to return but my return window closed."

Just so pleased at long last...finally a well made shoe that fits comfortably, wears well AND looks great on my husband's very hard-to-fit foot. I have tried numerous times to find attractive yet comfortable footwear for my husband's size 12 VERY wide foot. He is not a "fashion guy", and after some time it became apparent that his prior shoe choices were not crafted with quality, nor were they particularly flattering.After witnessing just pair after pair of fairly pricey shoes fail miserably, I stepped in (no pun intended)!. I chose a few pair of Cole Haan dress loafers in size 12. These shoes are offered in 12W, but were not available.Nevertheless, the two prior pair fit well and looked great ! Based upon my prior success, I ordered the Venetian Loafer, again in a regular size 12. They fit a bit snugly at first, but after a day just molded perfectly and still maintained a "slim" shoe profile. I am just thrilled !! These are well made shoes that fit properly and really looked quite lovely on a very hard-to-fit foot. Yay !!!!

I believe this model runs a little small, I bought two different Cole Haan style shoes both in 11. This pair was small, so I returned and exchanged for 11.5They fit perfectly.

Very nice shoe. Soft leather.This is a very narrow shoe and offers little support. It’s a driving shoe and not really a walking shoe.I wear 10W and it was still about a half size too long so I returned.

They were just a teeny bit short when they arrived, but they fit nicely after a little use. I bought them used, which made me a bit nervous, but I am quite pleased with the purchase now.

Comfortable shoes, leather is soft, but maybe too soft as it shows every scuff and scrape. Returned these - a little too high maintenance for me.

I bought this for my son. He had bought one of these previously a couple of years ago and wanted new ones, He loves them! comfortable and stylish

Incredible quality shoe but fit was absolutely horrible. Really disappointed because I couldn’t find anything nearly as nice anywhere else. I have several Cole Hahns and I’m a big fan. They all fit perfectly, these were nothing like any pair I’ve ever tried. Extremely narrow. Very surprising.

These are beautiful shoes. The leather is even nicer than expected. However, they fit small and narrow. Order a half size bigger than usual or you will likely be returning them.

As expected

Good shoe sizing was about 3/4 of a size off. These were too tight to fit. Had to buy another pair.

looks good

Love this loafer. Dress it up with slim pants and no socks or with shorts!
