Now that Amazon Prime Big Deal Days has officially gone live, the story of what shoppers are looking out for the most is starting to develop. Power tools and health essentials are always hugely popular during Amazon sales, but footwear seems to be a clear shopper favorite this year. Big discounts on Asics running shoes and bestselling hiking boots are getting a lot of attention, but for the office-dwelling crowd, Cole Haan's business casual sneakers are the top pick, and one of the brand's newest faces is selling like hotcakes.
The Cole Haan Grand Crosscourt Traveler Sneakers are on sale for October Prime Day for as low as $70—up to 36% off the normal $110 price. These minimalist sneakers have already earned over 200 five-star ratings from Amazon shoppers who say they're "very comfortable" and that they "look great with just about anything." They're currently on sale in four great colors and come in sizes 7 to 13 with wide widths available. Though the price varies based on your selection of color and size, most are still between 20% and 30% off during the sale.
These Cole Haan sneakers are made with a leather upper that's as clean-looking as it is supple. Inside, the brand has included a comfortable padded footbed that's covered in soft textile, while underneath, the thick but lightweight EVA foam sole provides ample shock absorption and flexibility to keep your feet happy through an entire day of walking. Some styles have a contrasting heel counter while others are monochromatic, but regardless of the colorway, each is primed to anchor any smart casual outfit.
Early adopters of the Grand Crosscourt Traveler Sneakers say they're on par with what's expected from the comfort shoe brand. "These shoes are very comfortable right out of the box," one shopper said. "Looks great with suits and jeans. Very versatile." Another shopper echoed that, saying, "Some of the most comfortable shoes of this style that I've worn. I think they're even better than the Ecco Soft 7 I bought that were much more expensive."
Whether you're looking for a pair of office sneakers or simply something to wear with your daily outfits, Cole Haan's Grand Crosscourt Traveler is a simple but sleek option that'll work for almost anybody. And, for as little as $70, it's a major steal with October Prime Day. The sale is over on Oct. 9, so make sure to get a pair of these in your basket ASAP.
