Mine are a couple of years old, and still look really fresh. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/cole-haan-platform-oxford-a-favourite-thing#post-2361579 Tue, 28 May 2024 01:08:59 +0000 Jaime 2361579@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Another fabulous outfit!

We still have some from ages ago as well! But we also have a couple of other, similar sprays. I think they are all silicone based. Again, they won't make a fabric shoe entirely waterproof but they definitely add some resistance.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/cole-haan-platform-oxford-a-favourite-thing#post-2361555 Mon, 27 May 2024 21:43:11 +0000 Mary Beth (formerly LBD) 2361555@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Those are so cute! &nbsp;What did you use for waterproofing? &nbsp;I’ve had great luck with the Danier spray I stockpiled a decade ago after a trip to Canada, but I’ve no idea whether they still make it. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/cole-haan-platform-oxford-a-favourite-thing#post-2361552 Mon, 27 May 2024 21:13:37 +0000 Suz 2361552@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks, <b>Blue Jay. </b>This blazer is one of my best consignment finds. Paul Smith!!! It cost about what a Banana Republic jacket would cost. It's unfashionably short and fitted but that is what I actually like about it. It's an unusual linen-wool blend and is mostly unlined (except for sleeves and back placket) which. makes it comfortable in all summer temperature.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/cole-haan-platform-oxford-a-favourite-thing#post-2361543 Mon, 27 May 2024 20:04:40 +0000 BlueJay 2361543@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Great shoes, Suz!

Not for all-day tromping in serious, serious rain, if you know what I mean, but definitely okay if you spray them first and then get caught, like I did. I do think the platform sole helps a bit because it lifts you out of puddles, but I have been in some rain in my regular sole ones and they were not too bad either. I consider them the perfect travel shoe, really. It is very, very rare for me to find a shoe that never gives me blisters. This shoe is that!&nbsp;</p> <p><b>Angie</b>, I <b>love</b> the two-tone version!!!&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/cole-haan-platform-oxford-a-favourite-thing#post-2361475 Mon, 27 May 2024 15:40:05 +0000 Irina 2361475@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks,&nbsp;<b>Suz</b>, for the sharing your experience with these in the rain. I have a knitted top ones with regular soles and consider taking them on a trip in the fall because they are so comfortable. Although I had mine a few years, I didn’t get caught in a rain in them. So, good to know it might be ok.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/cole-haan-platform-oxford-a-favourite-thing#post-2361473 Mon, 27 May 2024 15:37:22 +0000 Star (Lise) 2361473@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Those shoes totally suit you and your style Suz.&nbsp; What a great outfit. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/cole-haan-platform-oxford-a-favourite-thing#post-2361471 Mon, 27 May 2024 15:32:56 +0000 Angie 2361471@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Soooooo, I have these on the way, because like you, I'm a Cole Haan oxfords fan: </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/cole-haan-platform-oxford-a-favourite-thing#post-2361470 Mon, 27 May 2024 15:31:58 +0000 Angie 2361470@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>KILLER look, <b>Suz</b>! These love you right back! That scarf is a perfect complement to these oxfords faves, and I'm glad they worked well on your London trip :)</p> <p>I'm another HUGE Cole Haan oxford fan. My weatherproof Golfing oxfords are Spring workhorses! Dressier than a sneaker. My feet are HAPPY.&nbsp;</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/cole-haan-platform-oxford-a-favourite-thing#post-2361469 Mon, 27 May 2024 15:30:17 +0000 Mirjana 2361469@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Beautiful shoes and great outfit. Enjoy your trip. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/cole-haan-platform-oxford-a-favourite-thing#post-2361462 Mon, 27 May 2024 14:59:59 +0000 Suz 2361462@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I am a huge fan of the Cole Haan oxfords, both the regular and platform versions. In my experience, the platform version is a bit stiffer and requires a few wears to fully break in, but once it does, it's spectacular. I have the knit version and it is lightweight and extremely easy to wear. Like a dressed up sneaker. It was my shoe of choice in London. I sprayed it with waterproofing and despite being knit, it kept me dry enough in a complete downpour. I say "dry enough" because I would not have trusted it for longer than the 15 or 20 minutes that I was out -- the tips of my socks felt slightly damp when I took them off that night. But the shoe dried out immediately with no damage.&nbsp; </p>
