A popular footwear and accessory store, Cole Haan, began almost a century ago in Chicago, Illinois. Started by Trafton Cole and Eddie Haan, the company quickly gained a reputation for quality and craftsmanship. Although Cole Haan started off as a men's store, it now carries both men's and women's products, including dress and casual footwear, belts, hosiery, handbags, leather goods, watches, and outerwear.

Cole Haan stores and Cole Haan outlet stores are located across the country. At the outlet stores, customers have a chance to buy high-quality merchandise for significantly less than the retail price. Cole Haan outlet stores are located in select states. Fortunately, Cole Haan outlet prices are also available online through auctions.

The international headquarters for Cole Haan are located in Yarmouth, Maine and the design headquarters are located in New York City. The products they sell are typically of very high quality materials, making them appealing to customers who don't want to sacrifice quality for price. Typical Cole Haan customers don't mind paying the high prices because they know that the products will last.

In their footwear department, Cole Haan sells a large variety of men's and women's shoes, from formal to casual. Popular styles of women's shoes include wedges, thongs, sandals, moccasins, loafers, and mules. In the men's department, oxfords, slides, and loafers are offered in a variety of different colors and styles.
