Got these dark navy Cole Haan platform sneakers from Rack on the recent Cole Haan sale. Immediate reaction-super comfortable, but felt they weren’t flattering. Packed them to send back.

But, inspired by Suz to wear my neglected BR dark denim wide leg crops today, I also was inspired to try the shoes back on. I think I like them.

My husband doesn’t ever like wide legs on me but he said that the shoes make the jeans look better. So that’s something!

I do not have other ink blue sneakers and I do not have any platform sneakers. But I have plenty of sneakers in general. Keep or return?

Update: I am keeping. Thanks for the advice to try on with various outfits. I actually really like these shoes with the joggers and skort. And my go to neutral has become ink/navy so I think they’ll be really versatile. The color is a true navy blue - the stock photo doesn't represent it well.
