Yes, these have been linked somewhere in this thread toward the beginning. It's not that I don't like lace-ups, but these are veering into shoe territory, when it's a sneaker I want. If they are too shoe-ish, they turn into spring -summer footwear, IYKWIM. &nbsp;But I do like them !&nbsp;</p> <p>FI - thank you , I'm familiar with internet searching outside of the brand's own site. Vagabond makes great boots - and are a reliable brand. Don't know Tamari. &nbsp;Thanks for your input : I appreciate your time and effort here. &nbsp;</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/looking-for-refined-white-sneakers/page/2#post-2153130 Mon, 09 Nov 2020 12:55:42 +0000 Stagiaire Fash 2153130@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Never mind—I see that Viva already posted it. But if those aren’t your size, you might try searching for the Cole Haans at other sellers, besides CH.<br /> For example <a href="https://en.zalando.de/cole-haan-zerogrand-global-trainer-trainers-optic-whiteglacier-grey-cz411a018-a11.html?size=40&#038;allophones=0&#038;wmc=SEM491_NB_GO._6308179488_1481255193_59865917480.&#038;opc=2211&#038;mpp=google%7Cv1%7C%7Cpla-294680686006%7C%7C9060640%7C%7Cg%7Cm%7C%7C283148671322%7C%7Cpla%7CCZ411A018-A110095000%7C294680686006%7C1%7C&#038;gclid=Cj0KCQiA7qP9BRCLARIsABDaZziR4m6hkcyt-OXlrirItTjMItn3oT5KFODiuhKRAZq4TEEpn-NSusQaAjAlEALw_wcB&#038;gclsrc=aw.ds" rel="nofollow">https://en.zalando.de/cole-haa.....lsrc=aw.ds</a></p> <p>From that same site, others you might like, if you have Tamaris over there. <a href="https://en.zalando.de/tamaris-lace-up-lace-ups-ta111e0cy-a11.html" rel="nofollow">https://en.zalando.de/tamaris-.....y-a11.html</a> (obviously you’d replace the laces)</p> <p><a href="https://en.zalando.de/vagabond-casual-lace-ups-white-va111c0aa-a11.html" rel="nofollow">https://en.zalando.de/vagabond.....a-a11.html</a> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/looking-for-refined-white-sneakers/page/2#post-2153118 Mon, 09 Nov 2020 10:44:13 +0000 Katerina 2153118@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Late to this thread, but have you tried GEOX?

The one pair that bj1111 linked were EXACTLY what I want, but not available in my size - 8. &nbsp;</p> <p>Angie - I like the Cole Haan oxfords but don't want a knit for winter. &nbsp;That style is great though. The Campers scare me. lol. &nbsp;I certainly appreciate you linking the others you have found . I'm still looking for just the right degree of something I can't find . Basic court shoes I'm covered for - Stan Smiths, Converse All Stars, etc. &nbsp;I really want something with more sophistication. &nbsp;</p> <p>You know, between my search for black Chelsea boots and these white sneakers, SO MUCH is sold out in my size right across the board from all retailers . &nbsp;Kind of odd at this time of year.

I love the fit and quality.</p> <p>Funnily enough, I had recently ordered the Grand Crosscourt sneaker, men's version, in ivory.</p> <p>Because it's a final sale, I was hesitant, but the sales agent told me they will make a one-time accommodation on a final sale return if the shoe doesn't fit.</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/looking-for-refined-white-sneakers#post-2152806 Fri, 06 Nov 2020 19:30:08 +0000 Angie 2152806@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Or something more like a sneaker:&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/looking-for-refined-white-sneakers#post-2152805 Fri, 06 Nov 2020 19:23:08 +0000 Janet 2152805@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I’ve had very good luck with Cole Haan in the past, comfort and fit wise.
