text: Majority of my shoes are Cole Haan. These Slip-ons require some softening of the top, back ankle of the shoe. Wearing these with socks looks ridiculous. I did not think about getting cuts on the back of my ankles. The Ivory color is what I have. You may be very disappointed if these get dirty. The material is cloth/linen which is a bit difficult to clean dark marks off a light colored shoe.
