Cole Haan's air Tali wedges are flattering, pretty and sooo versatile. The drawback of Cole Haans for me is sizing. In this style, the 5's were on my feet for only a few minutes before I realized how much they scrunched my toes. 5 is my usual shoe size. I was hesitant to try 5.5 in a slip-on style, thinking I'd walk right out of them, but they were a much better fit than the 5 and actually stayed on my foot, feeling just a little "slippy". Oddly enough, the great toe on each foot still rubbed but far less. I remedied this by using a jell insert under the ball of my foot. It keeps my toes from slipping forward & hence from rubbing. I don't ordinarily purchase a shoe that needs inserts to fit properly, but in gorgeous sandstone, with buttery soft leather sides & lining, the design knocks it out of the park. The little wedge flatters my (thin) legs even when paired with leggings or a knee-length skirt. I've yet to find something they don't look great with! After a night of wearing my Air Talis around the house, they have begun to conform to my feet - I think I'll be able to wear them without inserts in time. The soles are light and quite comfortable. Highly recommend but consider going up 1/2 size. I took off one star because the fit is not ideal.
I love how I can walk in these! I had foot surgery last year and this is the first pair of heels I can actually walk normally in. I LOVE the way they look too. Very professional for the office. Looks great with no stockings and all of my dresses and skirts. Very under-stated and classy. I ordered them in another color too.
Please order half size smaller than your size. I bought it in black i've got tones of compliment...and again today i order the sahara stone color they looks so cute. Most important they are comffffffiiii and excellent Cole Haan are always the best.

Prosversatile, cute
Love this shoe, happy to have the fleeting last few of the Nike Air. The nude is a gorgeous color and the black takes a simple black wedge and adds a little more style. Have worn them standing at work 8 hours, heel felt great. Got the black and the nude. Saving black for fall. Great that you can wear to work w/ pants and skirts and then out with jeans.
