There’s no shame in sticking to what you love, especially when it comes to style. For example, I own the same Athleta Elation leggings in multiple colors because they fit fabulously, they’re buttery soft, and they make my butt look A+. On dressier occasions, I swap them out for a pair of Madewell’s 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 now through Sunday, July 23. These chunky, strappy sandals are evidently so comfortable and versatile, multiple reviewers note having multiple pairs; one reviewer loves them so much, they own a whopping 10! “Please make more colors,” they write. “Every time there is a new color I get them. I can walk for hours in them”
As part of the brand’s lightweight ZerøGrand line, they feature a cushioned footbed that melds to your feet to give you supreme comfort with every step. This gives them more of a sneaker-feel opposed that of a traditional sandal, making them perfect for events when you need a dressier shoe, but don’t want your feet to scream by the end of the night.
The ZerøGrand Criss-Cross Sandals are a bit chunkier than other flats and feature a 1.2-inch platform for a smidge of height without overdoing it. The wide, sturdy base is attached via a chic, leather criss-cross toe-strap for an elegant touch, while a sneaky velcro ankle strap allows for easy on-and-off and eliminates the chance of any buckles digging into your skin. And finally, there’s a tread which is the only part of this shoe that looks like a sneaker. The textured rubber outsole is strategically designed to nix slipping and sliding, be it 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 made to do-it-all, shoppers have invested in multiple pairs. One Cole Haan customer in her 50s says they’ve been her go-to sandals every summer, every year: “I have them in three different colors: black, white and gold. And I love all of them… These are so comfortable. Easy on-off with the velcro strap, but not too ‘sporty’ that I [can’t] wear them with dresses, skirts and to my work. I’m thinking of getting my 4th pair, [the] honey & snake color.”
Another dubs them the “most comfortable ‘dressy’ sandals ever,” saying, “I wear these to work all summer long and take daily walks in them. Love them so much! I have three pairs. Waiting for a nice navy version.” Most customers adore them for days when they’re on their feet a lot, noting that they’re as supportive as a travel shoe, while still being—as one shopper calls—”le chic chic.” “Wore these on a recent Mediterranean cruise and averaged 12k steps a day,” that same shopper writes. “Very comfortable and stylish enough for every outfit.”
Now’s your chance to stock up on the ZerøGrand Criss-Cross Sandals on the cheap while they’re 60 percent off. And if sandals aren’t your thing, there’s a ton of other styles on sale, too, including running shoes, walking sneakers, wedding-ready heels, socks, bags, and more.
