These boots surprise day in day out. I’ve worked these in cold temps and did some actual mountain hiking. They respond extremely well. They grip uneven surfaces really well. It took about two wears to break in. Now the leather is supple while holding shape. My only con is the laces don’t go all the way up leaving the tongue and collar open. This could be a good look if you want to tuck ur pants in. It’s a great buy at supper discounted price.These boots are not suede. The write-up description is accurate though. Suggest you look at them on the Cole Haan site to see the correct shoe. They are of good quality and very light for boots. The leather is coated with a waterproof material so they look like pleather. The boots are more of a fashion statement then winter boots. Don't think they would do well in the snow.I don’t use these for hiking, but I’m sure if I did - my feet wouldn’t have the comfort to hike long.Good boots.We ordered the Gray boots, but when delivered it looked more like dark blue or coffee colored, and the texture was smooth. Definitely NOT gray or suede as pictured. The box said it was the gray with the orange pinstripe, and it did have an orange pinstripe. But the overall shoe color is dark brown and the texture is smooth. This is a gift and it looks like a nice shoe, so I'll wait to see if the recipient likes it, but the picture is not correct and I may end up returning it because it doesn't look at all like the picture.No es la descripción que apareceI got these and expected too much. First, they were very tight in the toe area. Very little padding and I am on my feet a lot at work and needed something comfortable. There was no way I could stand in these for a long period of time. They are very light weight, which is nice, but I did return them the next day.It looks awesome! I was really excited about it when it came in, the comfort is ok, since it is waterproof leather boot, it will need to be broke in for the comfort to get better. but other than that if it good, maybe a little snug, but still think its the leather needs to be broke inHad purchased with high hopes m and was super excited about to try them out as they were marked “waterproof “ as per the listing and the product.However, on the first day In very light rain and snow I could feel water seeping inside them.I feel that they lack waterproof element and should be called water resistant maybe. I don’t want to return them as it’s an hassle to send back during Christmas break.also can’t since I wore them outside.I hope Cole Haan will work on this and improve their products.Name of the product - zero grand hiking boots in British tan colour (C33471)Muy grande
