Cole Haan

First impressions mean a lot — and any entrepreneur knows the first mark you make is through your physical appearance. Whether you're about to make a pitch to a boardroom full of investors or need to attend a networking cocktail hour, it can feel nearly impossible to focus if you're wearing the wrong pair of shoes. While your best pair of dressy shoes can be visually impressive, they're probably incredibly painful to wear for long periods of time. And usually, your everyday shoes aren't the ones you want to wear to the holiday party.

Luckily, there are shoemakers that are able to confidently stride the line between formal and smart casual — and Cole Haan makes classic, high-quality shoes that are perfect for any situation an entrepreneur might find themselves in. See our favorite picks for both men's and women's shoes for both formal and business casual settings — even better, they're all currently on sale, so you can snag a pair (or two) for a steal.

Warner Grand Postman Oxford

Perfect for a navy or grey suit, these richly tan Warner Grand Postman Oxfords bring a decidedly posh touch to any outfit. Made with leather uppers and lined with moisture-wicking materials, these sophisticated shoes can be worn comfortably for long periods of time. Even better, they're on sale.

Williams Wingtip Oxford

The Williams Wingtip Oxford is a standout for anyone looking to make an impression. The dressy leather upper features beautiful scalloped cutout details, and the shoe is fully lined in leather. These shoes can go gracefully from a meeting to a wedding — and they're on sale.

GrandPrø Turf Sneaker

For those days where you want to be both comfortable and pulled together, these GrandPrø Turf Sneakers look like soccer shoes (think slim and lightweight) but are made with stylish suede and leather materials. This pair is lined with memory foam built into the footbed, so you can stay on your feet for even the brainstorming sessions that go late.

GrandEvølution Wingtip Oxford

It's business on the top but a party on the bottom (if a party means all-day, comfortable wear) with these GrandEvølution Wingtip Oxfords. They look like a dressy oxford with a leather construction on the upper, but the bottom features innovative cushioning that offers stability and durability.
