Cole Haan has created a gorgeous line of men's footwear called 'The Pinch Weekender' featuring a classic summer look. This shoe is a reinvention of the classic penny loafer into a modernized, comfortable and lightweight footwear item. Cole Haan took the classic loafer and replaced the leather canvas cover with a piece of fabric to allow the shoes to be more breathable and casual.
This footwear collection is designed for men to wear them at the beach, on long walks and even to a bonfire or barbecue. Each shoe is designed in the same way with many different patterns and colors available.
The shoes come in neutral plain colors that will complete any outfit -- from white, black, blue, red, gray and camouflage. The Pinch Weekender also a cushioned foot-bed for ultimate comfort.
