User Reviews
These are good-looking sandals and the smooth leather is a lovely light brown. While comfortable, I wouldn't use them as all day walking shoes, but for shorter walks, going out to dinner. I paired them with a light tan straw bag and a summer dress. Very satisfied.
These are so cute and comfortable. I'm always worried about getting blisters, but these fit like butter. Not a huge support for longer walks, but perfect for a night out, casual work outfits, vacation outing.
Only took one day to break in, otherwise very comfortable. Walked all day in Barcelona with no issues. Very cute too. Can dress up or dress down.
I had to replace similar Cole Haans that I had been wearing for over a decade regularly. They had outlived many more expensive shoes. The best thing about these is the padding, high quality leather and arch support. You can wear these for hours walking with no blisters right out of the box. They can be dressed up or down.
I’m disappointed that these Cole Haan Flynn sandals are made of mostly synthetic manmade materials instead of real leather. I almost sent them back because these just aren’t the quality I associate with Cole Haan. The only real leather appears to be the skinny buckle strap and a thin layer on top of the two bands across the sandals. The lining under the bands is manmade plastic and so are the insoles. The outer soles are manmade too (which I expected). I much prefer the comfort of real leather against my feet; plastic feels sticky and warm, and it can give me blisters if I walk much.Still, I kept these sandals as I needed a flat sandal and they felt comfortable right away as to sizing and fit. I’ve ended up using these for daily wear in hot weather when I’m just driving from place to place and am not walking a lot. They look basic but nice enough with jeans, capris and dresses. These fit as expected for Cole Haan sandals, which are basically true to size but just slightly roomier than some brands. That’s better for me as I wear a 10 in these but one foot is a 10 and the other closer to 10.5.It’s really too bad as these would have been great for all day outings if it weren’t for all the plastic. They are a very flat style without padding or arch support, but I like sandals that feel as close to being barefoot as possible. I’ll stick with my Arche sandals when I’ll be doing a fair amount of walking as the leather materials are superior and they do have some support. I didn’t need to break in these Flynn sandals, but the lack of real leather against my feet bugs me and I’d rate them just 3 stars based on materials. I’m rating them higher as I’ve worn them often for short outings like going out to breakfast and the $67 price is reasonable (but I wouldn’t pay full retail). 4 stars. Made in India.
Not what I would expect for the price point or from Cole haan. These are all plastic/rubber. Set fast for people with narrow feet as well. Straps hit awkward on the toe bed and if you have bunions at all they look atrocious.
While the description says leather, the shoe has a cheap looking rubber or vinyl sole. I was very underwhelmed with this shoe given the price.
Very comfortable and elegant looking. Great quality
