Which is better for everyday walking?

The Kizik Freedom Run has more cushioning (37mm/28mm stack) and a lighter mesh upper, so it suits long walks better. The Cole Haan is fine for errands and office days but has a flatter, firmer ride.

Is the Kizik worth the extra $84?

Only if hands-free entry or running-style cushioning matters to you. At $62.99 versus $146.95 as of November 3, 2026, the Cole Haan is the better value for casual wear.

Can I run in the Cole Haan Grand Crosscourt Daily?

No. It is a casual leather sneaker with an EVA midsole and no running-specific support. Use the Kizik Freedom Run for running and walking workouts.

Leather uppers like the Cole Haan's generally outlast mesh, and its rubber outsole is durable. The Kizik's mesh can be machine washed but tends to wear faster at the toe and heel.

Which is easier to put on?

The Kizik. Its Flex Arc lets you step in hands-free. The Cole Haan has elastic laces, but you still pull it on by hand.

Do both come in wide widths?

The Kizik Freedom Run is listed in medium width only. The Cole Haan listing shows a women's 7.5 B, a medium width, with no wide option shown.
