The Modern Essentials line has bonded rubber soles with fake stitching molded into them.
These Cole Haan shoes have real leather uppers which you can polish and shine, so they're a big step above fake leather "dress shoes" from big box retailers, which no one should ever buy because they look bad the moment you walk ten steps and put a break in the toe. But they're still not real business wear. They're on the level of those sub-$200 Jos A Bank or Nautica suit specials, or a cheapie from Mens Wearhouse. If your suit is better made than that, you want better shoes with it.
To be fair, real business-appropriate dress oxfords will cost $200 and up, so this is still a good deal.

just keep in mind this the Modern Essentials line
what does that mean?
Put succinctly, I think it means the shoes have thick rubber boot soles that makes them look casual, as opposed to traditional leather soles for more formal shoes.

You want the zero grand. It has been a fews year since I picked up new dress shoes and honestly hate how Cole Haan does not make many oxford anymore. I went into their physical store and the associates looked at me like I was dumb asking for them and all they had was 2 or 3 oxford style which were all essential line. They have shifted more to the sneaker look of white soles.
