Cole Haan Men's Tucker Venetian Slip-On Loafer

I bought this originally at Nordstrom. Wonderful shoe. The Amazon version is not. Different sewing. Different leather. Makes me wonder if this is an unlicensed knockoff. See picture. Original on left.

Two different textures of leather on top which is noticeable. Did an exchange same issue and the color was different between the two pairs. Updated feedback Exchanged again due to a visible seam Updated feedback Received exchange I have a pair from previous order that have never been worn. You will notice box info is the same, although shoes different. As you can see the top show near the toe has a visible seam (returning to Amazon) and the styling is different. Is one a knock off? Beware. Not impressed

These are not the same shoes as they were a couple of years ago when I bought my last pair from Nordstrom. I called Cole Haan in fact about them to make sure I didnt get an off brand and still trying to decide if Ill keep them. The old shoes were made in partnership with Nike, and they used to make a big deal about them and how the heel had Nike Air technology in them. The new shoes no longer have these according the customer service rep I talked too. Thats the problem with popular mens styles. Companies keep making a popular shoe, but they run them into the ground later in the process by cheapening the construction to increase the margins. I cant blame them for doing it, but it makes the shoes not longer a good deal for the customer. I had the same problem with a different manufacturer before. Im still trying to decide if Im going to keep these or return them, as they are nowhere near as comfortable as the previous model.

When I originally bought this pair at Nordstrom 2 years ago, they were my favorite shoes. Now that Ive worn them out and couldnt find them locally, I decided to try them from Amazon. I dont think they are counterfeit, as some have suggested, but they are definitely not the same as the originals I had bought. The main problem is the quality/appearance of the top portion of leather on these new shoes. They look like very cheap leather. If the pair was $50 or less, Id probably keep them, but at $100, Im not willing to forgive the cheaper looking leather. While these are probably "real" Cole Haan shoes, they are definitely different. The originals are stamped inside the tongue "Made In China" believe it or not. And these say they were made in India. Also, the originals had a Cole Haan logo embossed on the insole, while these just have block letters. (See photos I shot) These fit nicely and feel good, with good arch support, like the originals. And the rubber sole and lower, textured leather all seem quite good. I just dont like these as much as the originals and I dont like them enough to keep them. Shipping back today…

I have had 5 pairs of the the Cole Haan Tucker Venetian (this exact shoe) over the past 5 years. Typically I purchase 2 new pairs in black and brown around the holidays every year and toss my older pair. THIS IS NOT THE SAME TUCKER VENETIAN!!! The quality has clearly deteriorated and the materials are absolutely not the same. The French Roast pair had a 1.5in separation after 2 months of wear between the rubber sole and the upper. The black pair I purchased simply put was not the same leather. It was some soft leather material that stretched out, fit and looked like my year old pair in less than a month. Read the other reviews from loyal customers who have purchased the shoe before and they will agree. Again this was my 5th pair and they always last a year. I am pleased that Amazon is standing buy these and swapping them out although I would have preferred a full refund. This is outside the return window so they did the right thing. I called Cole Haan and they said it has to go through Amazon...so much for them standing buy their product. I have been loyal to Cole Haan for 16 years. Prior to these I was a loyal Santa Barabra customer and had about 5 pairs of those.
