NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER
The Victorian language of flowers was used to convey romantic expressions: honeysuckle for devotion, asters for patience, and red roses for love. But for Victoria Jones, it's been more useful in communicating mistrust and solitude. After a childhood spent in the foster-care system, she is unable to get close to anybody, and her only connection to the world is through flowers and their meanings. Now eighteen and emancipated from the system with nowhere to go, Victoria realizes she has a gift for helping others through the flowers she chooses for them. But an unexpected encounter with a mysterious stranger has her questioning what's been missing in her life. And when she's forced to confront a painful secret from her past, she must decide whether it's worth risking everything for a second chance at happiness.Look for special features inside.

Great Shoe
Size: 10.5 Wide, Color: Black Leather/Black
Great shoe! Especially for those that are on the move in a professional setting for a lot of the day. The only issue I’ve had with these so far are my shoe laces are warping. The shoe itself is holding up great.

A great purchase
Size: 10.5, Color: British Tan/Ivory
These shoes are very comfortable and attractive. Lots of people noticed them when I first wore them. I would not consider them the most dressy shoes you can buy, but they work for "business casual" and most other outfits (but not shorts).

All-Day Comfort for 10+ Hour Workdays. Finally Found a Pair That Holds Up
Size: 12, Color: Black Leather/Black, Size: 12, Color: Black Leather/Black
After years of trying different “comfortable” dress shoes, this is the first pair I’ve owned that I can wear for a full 10+ hour workday without counting down the minutes to take them off.
For context, I’m a retail district manager. I’m on my feet most of the day walking stores, standing in conversations, moving constantly. I’ve owned Clarks, Rockport, and even higher-end dress shoes, and while some started out comfortable, none of them held up for an entire day without foot fatigue setting in.
These Cole Haan shoes are different.
What stands out:
All-day comfort: No mid-day foot pain, even after long shifts.
Solid construction: Genuine leather that takes and holds a polish well.
Supportive sole: Noticeably helps with impact from constant walking.
Great value: Performs better than shoes I’ve paid significantly more for.
I also appreciate that they hit a nice middle ground stylistically; more business casual than formal, but still sharp enough for most professional environments.
For additional context, I am a heavier individual and tend to wear down the outer (lateral) edge of my shoes first. That pattern holds true here as well.
The only drawback:
After about two months of wearing them 5 days a week (purchased January 7th), the sole shows more wear than I would expect at this point. It’s not a dealbreaker, but it’s the reason I’m giving 4 stars instead of 5. I’ll be including a comparison photo between the worn pair and a new pair for reference.
That said, I still expect to get around 8–10 months of use out of them, which at this price point is more than fair.
Bottom line:
If you need a comfortable, reliable, and reasonably priced work shoe for long days on your feet, these outperform just about everything else I’ve tried, and that’s why I bought a second pair.
