Our favorite Oxford sneakers, the Cole Haan ZERØGRAND wingtip oxfords, are currently almost 50% off.
Save over $100 on the shoes our editors say “feel like walking on marshmallows.”

THE DAY IN the life of a Men’s Health editor is no picnic—well, at least in terms of being on your feet all day. We’re always testing a variety of products, from gear to home gym equipment, and, of course, we also have to make time for the gym before and/or after work. Suffice it to say that by day’s end, our feet have borne the brunt of things.

There are, though, ways to soften the blow. Swapping out your favorite dress shoes for dress sneakers, at least for us, is top of mind. They maintain the classic look of a dress shoe while providing the comfort of your favorite cushioned sneaker. They’re quite literally a game-changer, and I’m a bit miffed it took me this long to make the switch.

Amongst our editors’ favorites are the Cole Haan Zerøgrand Wingtip Oxfords. Cole Haan makes some of the most comfortable dress shoes on the market, so it’s no surprise they were able to take it to the next level—all while maintaining the signature style and elegance typical of a classic Oxford shoe.

And right now, we can do you one better—our favorite Oxford sneakers are now almost 50 percent off for a limited time, with over $100 in total savings.

Style Editor Joseph Cheatham noted that wearing these sneakers “feels like you’re walking on marshmallows.” They feature a FlowerFoam midsole, a proprietary blend made from dandelion rubber, and offer a cushioned stride for all-day comfort. In fact, the upgraded design features 40 percent more cushioning than the original iteration. The shoe is also super lightweight and features a solid grip that’s perfect for walking on uneven sidewalks and wet surfaces.

The outsole features intelligently placed divots to bend and move naturally with your foot’s path. A slightly rounder toe helps deliver a more casual look, all while maintaining the sharp heritage dress shoe look with sturdy punched-hole detailing. The shoe captures a true blend of form and function.

While the larger sneaker-inspired outsole may look a bit clunky to some, it’s an acquired taste. What you’re sacrificing in sleekness is more than made up for in performance. And if you’re like us, any extra comfort is certainly welcomed—especially at nearly half off.
