Why We Love This Deal
Nordstrom Rack remains one of the best places to get Cole Haan shoes at huge discounts across a wide range of styles. We’ve found the brand’s slip-ons and Chelsea boots there for up to 70% off before, but now, it's all about dress shoes. We just spied a pair of classic derbies, and they’re well over $200 off.
The Cole Haan Bedford Plain Toe Derbies would normally run you $298, but this sale at Nordstrom Rack means you can get them for $60, which is a whopping 79% discount. The British Tan colorway will give you the best deal, but the other two colors (black and a slightly lighter brown) are also available, on sale for $30 more.

What Shoppers Should Know
- Upper: Leather with textile lining
- Midsole: Cushioned
- Outsole: Rubber sole with forefoot grooves
- Fit: True to size
- Best For: Office, formal occasions, everyday wear
These derbies are a classic wardrobe staple, hailing from a brand that’s been making men’s shoes for nearly a century. The smooth leather and plain-toe silhouette give them the versatility to be worn in the office or out and about, and the flexible rubber sole (paired with the forefoot grooves) keeps them comfy all day.
Derbies and Oxfords in this price range from similarly classic brands often retail between $200 and $450. Cole Haan’s plain-toe derby shoes also serve essentially the same purpose as the more expensive Allen Edmonds Smith shoe. Sure, the latter brand offers up more of a premium quality product that's made in the U.S., but if what you're after is value, there's no denying that the former brand's Bedford shoe is worth a pick-up.

What Shoppers Are Saying
If a sale this steep is raising some flags for you, you’re not alone. In fact, one reviewer who was skeptical about the price reduction wrote, “I was wrong because these shoes are everything a $300 dress shoe should be.”
Another reviewer said that the shoes are “very comfortable” and “very durable,” and that they’re “perfect for professional outfits.” Also, since the midsole is cushioned, you get some extra comfort: “The cushioning provides great support, making them perfect for all-day wear.”
The timeless Cole Haan Bedford Plain Toe Derbies are available now for just $60. Sizes are already starting to run out, which means now’s the time to grab a pair that fits while you can.
