High confidence. Correct script-style heat-stamped logo on the heel bed, consistent heavy-gauge stitching, and high-quality leather graining visible in the strap interiors.
Flaws to Note
Visible foot impressions/darkening on the insoles; scuffing on the side of the strap; potential wear on the outsoles (not visible in photo). The elastic gore near the arch shows some slight stretching.
Selling Guide
Where to Sell
Poshmark, eBay, or Mercari. These platforms cater well to established mid-tier luxury brands like Cole Haan.
Selling Tips
Deep clean the leather with a conditioner like Bick 4 to restore the cognac luster. Use a damp cloth or specialized leather soap on the footbeds to reduce the appearance of foot marks. Use keywords like 'Huarache,' 'Whipstitch,' 'Boho,' 'Cognac,' and 'Classic' in the title.
