Nike Air for Cole Haan

An unofficial rule of boating? Never wear heels on a dock – or especially a boat. Not only does it look silly and scuff things up, one of the principal means of keeping your sea legs is comfort.

So I definitely noticed when an experienced sailor friend of mine took off her boat shoes at the dock and put on some chic  heels. Turns out they were not just any high heels – though they looked perfectly polished, they are part of Nike Air’s collaboration with Cole Haan. Un-sneaker-like but comfortable shoes? Sign me up.

Today I checked my email and, lo and behold, Neiman Marcus is offering 40 percent off the Cole Haan collection, so you can scoop up stylish but comfy shoes at almost half off. They have not just heels but flats and gladiators – perfect for meandering through the city this summer, blister-free.
