"Cole Haan is pepping up the preppy look a few notches with painted saddle oord shoes.\n\nAs the leaves prepare to turn shades of burnt oranges and reds and the mornings grow crisp and dewy, just the idea of getting out of bed can be tough to fathom when the only destination youre headed is homeroom. But whats better motivation to start your day than a new wardrobe and more importantly fabulous new school shoes?\n\nPrep school cool has long been a staple of back-to-school fashion. Nothing says fall quite like a plush cable knit sweater and a cozy new pair of argyle tights to go with your favorite pair of classic oords. This season American heritage brand Cole Haan is pepping up the preppy look a few notches with a whimsically playful collection of painted saddle oord shoes that are part The Prime of Miss Jean Brodie, part irreverent Austin art student.\n\n The quintessential classic kicks get a contemporary twist with a chunky platform heel (demure enough to wear in the classroom, yet chic enough for a big Friday night party). Using an eleven-step process, these hand-painted and hand-sewn statement shoes are truly one-of-a-kind.\u00A0 And not only are they sure to help you forget your back-to-school blues, but they also get major extra credit with the concealed, built-in Nike Air technology to help ease your tired tootsies.\n\nThe color-block combos will be available mid-August exclusively at colehaan.com and the labels Soho store in downtown New York City.\n\n -- CHRISTINA DECKER AND ANDREW BEVAN"^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
