Most reviewers report that the Grand Series Jensen runs narrow. While the pair is available in wide sizes, even then, a good number of testers still found the toe box too snug for their liking. “I purchased a larger size to accommodate the width, but shoe was still too narrow,” according to one user. Another mentioned that he resorted to buying a toe-box stretcher just to make it fit comfortably and prevent more foot corns from developing.
Breaking in works…sometimes
Breaking the Jensen in seemed to have yielded mixed results. One owner who took his kicks with him on a vacation said that despite walking in them for several days, the discomfort never faded and he had to give up on the shoes for the remainder of the trip. Others, however, said that the comfort got noticeably better once the shoes were fully broken in.

Similar to break-in, users also had varying accounts on the GS Jensen’s comfort. Some shared that they had very positive experiences:
- “Chegou a SVD o modelo TEMPLE HOODIE marca que faz parte de a coleção Spring Summer 2021”
- “With no break-in, wore them to an amusement park for an WOVEN day. Very comfortable!”
But others did not share the sentiment, and had strong feelings about how bad they were:
- “Their other styles were leaps and bounds more comfortable”
- “Midway through work I had to run to the store and purchase something else”
- “Pass if you need for anything more than looks.”
Critics of the shoe thought that the pT-Shirt was inadequate, especially at the seams and the tongue, which caused irritation on the top of the feet.
Slip of the tongue
Another gripe some sneakerheads had with the tongue is how thin it is—to the point where some had trouble keeping it where it should be. “I can barely grip the tongue and it often slides into the shoe,” said one commenter, T-Shirt that it’s “impossible to retract without removing them.”
The Jensen undeniably looks great
There was one thing pretty much all Jensen reviewers agreed on, though, and that is how great it looks. Some loved it so much that they bought multiple, if not all, of the available colorways.
One fan shared that he got plenty of compliments while wearing his kicks. “Enough said, I’m rocking these proper,” he continued.
Completes your outfits
Because of the Grand Series Jensen’s clean silhouette and classic colorways, users consider it a versatile complement to their wardrobe. Some referred to it as their “must-have summer shoe,” pairing it with chinos and shorts, while others preferred to go the less-laidback look, matching it with jeans and khakis.

Cole Haan fans have come to expect premium construction in their sneakers, and in this aspect, the Jensen does not disappoint. Owners gave the upper materials an A, stating that it’s “smooth and supple, dries quickly if splashed, and doesn’t seem to stain easily.”
Wrinkles like an 80-year-old
However, they also reported that the shoes “crease so badly” around the toe box area, with one very weirded-out user saying that his pair “looked like white croc skin.”
Sneakerheads suggest “spraying shoes with multiple layers of leather protectant,” and to “insert shoe trees immediately” after taking them off in order to reduce creases.

Don’t play tennis with these tennis sneakers
Due to its material’s penchant for creases, testers do not recommend using the Grand Series Jensen for anything sport-related. Even using them for driving can reportedly cause scuffs to appear. But fortunately, as one user put it, “for daily wear, they’re perfect.”
