There’s no shame in sticking to what you love, especially when it comes to style. For example, I have the same Athleta Elation leggings in various colors because they fit me amazingly, are buttery soft and make my butt look A+. On dressier occasions, I trade them in for a pair of Madewell Perfect Vintage jeans, of which I own five pairs. You love what you love, you know?
In the case of Cole Haan shoppers, it’s the Zerøgrand Criss-Cross sandals (originally $150, now $60), which are 60 percent off during the brand’s end-of-season sale through Sunday, July 23. a critic loves them so much that they have an enormous 10! “Please make more colors,” they write. “Every time there is a new color I wear them. I can walk for hours in them”
As part of the brand’s lightweight ZerøGrand line, they feature a cushioned insole that melts into your feet for supreme comfort with every step. This gives them a more sneaker-like feel rather than a traditional sandal, making them perfect for events where you need a dressier shoe, but don’t want your feet to scream at the end of the night.
The ZerøGrand Criss-Cross sandals are slightly chunkier than other flats and feature a 1.2-inch platform for a hint of height without going overboard. The wide, sturdy base is held in place via a sleek crisscross leather strap at the toe for a stylish touch, while a Velcro ankle strap allows for easy on and off and eliminates the chance of buckles digging into your skin. And finally, there is a sole that is the only part of this shoe that looks like a sneaker. The textured rubber outsole is strategically designed to prevent slipping and sliding, whether you’re on a dance floor at a wedding or over cobblestones on a European vacation.
Don’t just take my word for it—they’re so comfortable and built to do it all, buyers have invested in multiple pairs. A Cole Haan customer in her 50s says they’ve been her favorite sandals every summer, every year: “I have them in three different colors: black, white, and gold. And I love them all… They’re very comfortable. Easy on and off with the velcro strap, but not too ‘sporty’ to wear with dresses, skirts, and at work. I’m thinking of buying my fourth pair, honey and snake.”
Another calls them the “most comfortable ‘fancy’ sandals ever,” saying, “I wear them to work all summer long and take a walk every day in them. Love them! I have three pairs. Looking forward to a nice navy version.” Most customers love them on days when they’re on their feet a lot, noting that they provide the same support as a travel shoe, while still being, as one shopper calls it, “le chic chic.” “I wore them on a recent Mediterranean cruise and averaged 12,000 steps per day,” writes the same shopper. “Very comfortable and stylish enough for any outfit.”
