Why We Love This Deal
If you’re a fan of the comfort and style typically found in Cole Haan products, then you need to know that Nordstrom Rack is rapidly becoming the best place to shop to find them on sale. From casual slip-ons to water-resistant boots, the store regularly has tons of quality Cole Haan shoes at 40% off or more. Today, there's a new water-resistant derby at 52% off that looks like it could be a go-to for the rainy spring months.
The Cole Haan Chamberlin Grand Plain Toe Derby is now just $110 at the Rack following a $120 discount. This shoe is still available in all sizes from 7.5 to 13, and it comes in a standard medium width. While derby shoes are inherently a little less dressy, this one looks like it'll fit into any business casual work environment perfectly, thanks to the classic tan upper and plain-toe style.

What Shoppers Should Know
- Sizes Available: From 7.5 to 13
- Water Resistant?: Yes
- Materials: Nubuck leather upper, textile lining, Grand.OS energy foam cushioning, and a tough rubber sole.
- Best Use Case: This is a fashionable, yet highly durable and functional, derby shoe that feels way more comfortable than it looks like it should.
Like most Cole Haan footwear, this shoe marries a classic exterior with a delightfully cushioned interior, leading to a good-looking shoe that feels better on the feet than the classics it emulates. That being said, the hybridization goes a bit further with the Chamberlin Grand Plain Toe Derby, which combines the best of two popular Cole Haan productions we’ve previously covered.
The top is very reminiscent of the Grand Hurrion derby, which was raved about by shoppers for its formal appearance and dressy style. Turn that shoe on its side, however, and you get a foamy midsole that feels more Skechers than traditional rugged wear.

The Cole Haan Chamberlin Grand Plain Toe Derby, instead, pulls its bottom half from the Chamberlin Chelsea, another water-resistant Cole Haan production (that’s now nearly sold out). Here, then, we get a toothy and durable outsole that’s strongly stitched to the base of the shoe. Comfort is preserved with a Cole Haan Grand.OS energy foam cushioning.
Ultimately, the effect is that of a shoe that feels comfortable all day long, has enduring toughness, and features a composite appearance from top to bottom.
The Cole Haan Chamberlin Grand Plain Toe Derby is $110 right now, which is over 50% off its regular price.
