While I haven't paid much attention to Cole Haan in recent years, I was presently surprised when I visited their showroom a few weeks ago to view the Fall/Winter 2010 collection. The collection is divided into styles inspired by the country and the city, along with the Maria Sharpova for Cole Haan collection.

Standouts in the collection include the sumptuous leathers (of course) that are used in the gorgeous oxfords, knee high boots and a standout reversible metallic tote (unfortunately, my photo didn't turn out well). What I appreciated most about the Cole Haan footwear was the attention to comfort detail, from the Nike technology integration to the tread detail, I felt confident that these styles would offer a distinct advantage above their competitors.

What are your favorite items from Cole Haan? Which of these styles are you most looking forward to this Fall?
