Cole Haan Men's Zerogrand Stitchlite Wingtip Oxford, Marine Blue/Ivory, 10.5 Medium US Review
The Cole Haan Men's Zerogrand Stitchlite Wingtip Oxford in Marine Blue/Ivory is designed for those who value both style and comfort. As the lightest and most flexible shoe ever created by Cole Haan, this product seamlessly blends craftsmanship with innovation. The unique construction utilizes functional brogue detailing that not only minimizes weight but also enhances breathability, making it ideal for all-day wear.
Equipped with Grand.OS technology in the outsole, you can expect a fit that feels supremely comfortable with every step. The ripstop nylon upper pieces are bonded using high frequency welding, which reduces the number of components and contributes to its lightweight design. Note that the knit upper offers more give compared to other styles, so it’s recommended to order a ½ size down from your usual size for the best fit.

User Reviews
It's Cole Haan. Of course it's a great shoe! Definitely get a size smaller than you're used to. I'm usually 9.5, I got it in an 8, but probably could wear a 8.5. Comfortable, but elegant
Comfortable and stylish. Wearing it with different jeans. Both formal and casual.
As usual cole haan shoes are very comfortable. They can be paired with any clothes you wear and they would look good as always. Also you can wear them the whole day without any complain.
These shoes have lasted me quite a long time with each pair I buy. They are made with quality in mind and are pretty darn resilient to day to day use. They always look classy in almost any setting and I will continue buying them. Either the stitchlites or the regular zerogrands. Can't go wrong. They do run just a touch larger than expected so I would go a half size down from tennis shoes.
These shoes are extremely lightweight and comfortable. I have worn it for walks around the mall a few times, and it is very comfortable. The only complaint I have is the discomfort from the tongue of the shoe when you tie the shoes (even when it's loose). I'm not sure if it's just an issue with my pair.
The shoe is really well made. The stitching is precise, no loose threads. Sizing wise… I saw a lot of conflicting reviews. I went TTS and they fit well. Just a touch too long but it’s not noticeable and it doesn’t affect my step. This shoe is a nice gap between casual and work/formal shoes. They just look cool and modern. I will be purchasing more in different colors.
Love these shoes. They look great and feel good. Dressy and casual. They go well with slacks or jeans.
These shoes were super comfortable and perfect for my feet. These were a little tight width wise but I do have wider feet. The outside is cloth and not waterproof but super stylish and very well designed. The bottom is more tennis shoe-like and grippier than dress shoes. The perfect combo and no as stiff or hard as dress shoes. These Cole Haan's are the second pair of similar designs and the first one has lasted me a few years already. Can't wait to buy another pair!
