Why We Love This Deal
Waterproof boots typically aren’t the most stylish. Guys are often limited to all-rubber casings that could out-squeak SpongeBob or rugged hiking boots that are functional but not exactly office material. Fortunately, Cole Haan—famous for its fashion-forward yet comfortable footwear—has all but solved the issue with this waterproof wedge-sole boot, and Nordstrom Rack is selling it for over $100 off.
The Cole Haan Grand Woodbury Waterproof Boot is just $145 while this deal lasts, a 42% discount from its usual cost. It blends the weather-resistance guys need for fall-to-spring commutes to work without looking obtuse, overbearing, or out of place.

What Shoppers Should Know

- Materials: Leather upper, textile lining, and rubber sole
- Best Use Case: City commutes on rainy days
Cole Haan’s Grand Woodbury Waterproof Boot has a premium waterproof leather upper. The tall, seven-eyed laces create a snug fit that’s made comfortable by a padded, flexible stem. The all-leather upper feels soft, has a wide toe box, and will conform to the shape of your foot over time, making it feel better with each wear.
Like all Cole Haan shoes, there is an incredible amount of attention paid to foot comfort. Decent arch support and a removable insole provide an appropriate level of support for each step. Meanwhile, a rubber lug sole that is more lightweight than you would guess from the look of the boot makes for carefree stepping.

Considering the dark leather of the boot, it should pair nicely with dark navy pants, though a hardy pair of jeans will do for everyday events. The important thing is that these boots will keep your feet warm and dry on those terrible, brisk, and rainy fall days, while also keeping up appearances to the level you desire.
The Cole Haan Grand Woodbury Waterproof Boot has a discount of over $10, just as the season it is most needed for has arrived. We’re already seeing the smallest and largest sizes of the boot start to sell out, though, so don’t wait too long to make the purchase.
