Everlane Shoes Reviews — L-R: Day Glove, Day Loafer, Wrap Sandal, TREAD in gray, Day Heel, Street Shoe, Modern Loafer, TREAD in lavender, Day Boots, Heel Boots

One of my favorite discoveries in the last couple of years is Everlane shoes. At first, I had my eye on the modern loafer, but was reluctant to spend $150 on a pair of shoes. At the same time, I was finding myself going through shoes faster than I would have liked and not finding a true classic style in any of the less expensive brands. I kept coming back to the look of Everlane shoes.

I also appreciated that most of their shoes are made in Italy and that Everlane uses factories with a score of 90 or above on a compliance audit that checks for fair wages and working conditions. And there’s detailed information about each of the factories so that customers can learn more about how and where the products are made.

I wear Everlane shoes almost every single day! As a teacher, I walk and stand about 3-4 hours a day — my shoes have gotten a good comfort test every day at work for this Everlane shoes review!

Favorite Everlane shoes?

I’ve loved all my Everlane shoes (such great quality!), but the ones that I recommend the most are the leather Chelsea boots, Day Glove, Day Boot, Rain Boot, and Court sneakers.

How do Everlane shoes fit?

Most Everlane shoes run a tad small and narrow. I suggest checking their sizing recommendation for the style you order and perhaps ordering a half size up. Most of their shoes are made of leather in two basic types: stiff leather that needs some breaking in time, and their Day line of buttery soft leather that molds to your foot and requires little to no break in.

Most Everlane shoes don’t have a lot of support in the soles, but I’ve found that because they’re so well made, they’re very comfortable, even for long days of walking and standing. The soles of the Day Glove, for example, don’t have much arch support but the soles are soft and cushy, and they feel great on my feet.

Do Everlane shoes work for wide feet? I recently developed a bunion on one of my feet, so unfortunately, I know the answer to this question first-hand. I had to get rid of some of my Everlane shoes because the narrower fits no longer worked for my sensitive foot.

If you have wide feet, I think these shoes would work for you: any of the Reknit line because the fabric is stretchy, the Day Boots because the leather is soft, and the Rain boots.

Do Everlane shoes stretch?

Yes and no. All of their shoes that I’ve tried have stretched enough to accommodate my feet. Two especially stiff and narrow ones required the use of a shoe stretcher (so useful!). As mentioned above, the shoes made of stiff leather do need some break-in time, but they stretch after some wear. In contrast, shoes from the Day line are made of super soft leather and therefore stretch and mold to your feet and need much less break in time.

Honest Everlane Shoes Reviews

Everlane Italian Leather Chelsea Boots (amazing!)

I love these boots so much! Definitely my favorite shoes of 2021. These boots show what I think Everlane does best…high quality, beautiful details, and timeless style.

Like Everlane’s best shoes from past seasons, the Leather Chelsea Boots are made at a carefully chosen factory in Italy. In fact, this one is tiny, located in Florence, Italy, with a history of making beautifully constructed shoes that last. You can learn about the factory here.

Here’s why I love them so much:

— The leather on these boots is so soft yet thick. It feels like it will mold to my feet with no pinching, yet is substantial enough to last a long time. This is in contrast to Everlane’s Day Boots, which are beautiful and also very comfortable but made from thinner leather that scuffs easily.

— These boots are VERY comfortable. This is huge for me because I have a bunion on one foot, which makes it hard to find shoes that feel great. Even though the toe comes slightly in, there’s no pinching or pushing. The ankle has padding that makes them feel great against my legs. The soles are supportive without feeling clunky; in fact, they have a cushioned insole for extra comfort.

— The dark red edge and light rubber soles add an element of surprise, while the toe is just rounded enough to have a timeless look (i.e. not too square or pointy). I love the look!

How do the Italian Leather Chelsea Boots fit?

True to size! I usually wear a 7.5 and that’s what I ordered. There’s plenty of room for me to wear thick socks in winter.

The verdict? YES! These might be my favorite Everlane shoes ever! Definitely worth the price on sale or not. Looking for something dressier? Check out the beautiful City Boot.

Everlane Day Boots: another favorite!

everlane boots review — Day boots in brick, authentic stretch jeans, alpaca sweater in heather gray (review here)

These boots are gorgeous! The day boot is made of buttery soft leather, like their day glove flats, and a stacked heel that’s just the right height. These boots are comfortable enough that I can wear them to work for several hours. I even wore them in Rome for New Year’s Eve and walked several miles that night. I love the brick color, but I’ve been eyeing them in black, too.

How do the Everlane day boots fit?

They’re true to size, so for me, the 7.5 fits perfectly. Fortunately, there was no break in time needed for these boots because the leather is so soft. Even though the toe box is slightly narrow, they don’t come to a point and there has been no pinching on the sides of my feet or toes. The only issue I’ve had is that the ball of my foot feels sore if I stand or walk in them for several hours, but in my opinion, this is expected.

The verdict: Yes! These are one of my favorites, especially because the leather is so soft and comfortable right out of the box. The perfect boots for a mix of comfort and classic style.

Everlane Day Glove: My Favorite Flats!

Everlane day glove review — Day Glove flats in deep red

These are one of Everlane’s most popular items and for good reason. Not only are they very comfortable, but the style makes them super versatile, too. I love the red for a pop of color or snake skin that dresses up any basic outfit of jeans and a sweater (they’re on sale for just $64!).

These are my go-to shoes for both travel and work, and I’m really impressed with how they’ve held up. The only issue I’ve had is that after 1.5 years of wear, the leather on the very front of the shoe has started to scuff, but it blends in if I use a leather protectant. In short, these really are some of the best flats you can buy.

For my first pair, I chose the neutral mocha color, but I’d suggest the tan or caramel colors instead. I wear these shoes with jeans, cropped pants and skirts. There’s no need for a liner or low-cut sock inside because the shoes don’t rub on my feet and there are two small holes for ventilation. You can see how soft the leather is and how well they’ve held up after a year of wear in this photo:

How does the Everlane Day Glove fit?

They’re supposed to fit like a glove with buttery soft leather that conforms to your foot, and it’s true! They really are extremely comfortable.

These fit true to size. They felt snug across the top of my foot and in the toe box at first but quickly stretched out just enough. No blisters or discomfort, and that’s still true after more than a year of wear!

The verdict: Yes! The Day Glove is super comfortable and can be worn all day.

Everlane Forever Sneaker

The latest shoe in Everlane’s TREAD line of sneakers, the Forever Sneaker is a throwback to the basic Keds that we had as teens but with a 2020 twist: the shoe is made from more sustainable materials and is fully recyclable. When you’ve finished wearing it, you get a label from Everlane and send it back to them for recycling. This is a great alternative to what happens to most athletic shoes (i.e. ending up in a landfill).

They come in a nice range of basic colors: white, black, India ink (navy), teak (like a dark straw color), and sycamore (above), a light army green, perfect for fall.

How do Everlane Forever Sneakers fit?

These fit true to size, and unlike many of Everlane’s shoes, these do not run narrow. Interestingly, while they have plenty of room, they don’t look big at all. In fact, the shoe looks more narrow than it really is.

If you’re looking for a shoe that has support, this is not for you. Basically, the sole is flat, like a Converse or Vans. If you need support, try Everlane’s TREAD trainers (on sale).

The verdict: Yes: if you’re looking for a sustainable, simple sneaker, this is a great choice. Goes with everything! On sale now for just $49!

Everlane Glove Boots: so comfy!

Everlane Glove Boots review — Glove boots in black (fit tts)

These boots (in black) are a recent addition to my wardrobe because I needed new, more comfortable boots. I’d heard that the Reknit line of shoes from Everlane are more comfortable due to the stretchy fabric. I like these boots but I don’t love them. I know people rave about the look and fit, but I’m just not sold on the fabric yet.

The rest of the boot reminds me of their Day Boot, which I love. The sole has a little bit of cushion to help with hours of standing/walking, and the heel is a pretty brown stacked heel that’s just the right height. The fabric is made from recycled water bottles, making them a great choice for sustainability, but they’re not vegan since there’s a thin leather strip down the back.

How do Everlane Reknit Glove Boots fit?

These fit true to size, and do not run narrow. The stretchy fabric hugs your foot but can allow for extra room if you wear socks or have a bunion or just need them to give a little. Take your usual size.

Everlane claims that these are their most flattering boot because of the slim opening (“no ankle gap”), but this was almost too small on me! I have wider ankles, but just be aware of this if you do, too.

The verdict: Maybe. If you’re looking for a comfortable boot that’s not leather, this is a great choice.

Everlane Court Sneakers: my favorite casual shoes

I love the look of these shoes, and they’re so comfortable. In fact, I liked them so much that they were my most-worn shoes last spring. Take your true size–these don’t run small at all. See more in my Everlane Sneakers review.

Everlane Rain Boots

The Everlane rain boots are the most comfortable rain boots I’ve tried. A sturdy, cushioned sole makes a big difference — it’s not floppy like the typical rubber rain boots, and the traction means you can wear them on slick roads or even for hiking in wet weather. The sole is substantial enough to give your foot some distance from the ground, and the lining is insulated, so these boots feel warm even on an unusually cold day like today here in Northern California.

How do the Everlane rain boots fit?

They come in whole sizes, and Everlane suggests sizing down if you’re in between. I typically wear a 7.5 and ordered the 8 before seeing their tip to size down. With regular socks they feel a tad big, and because I usually don’t wear thick socks here in California, I am going to heed their advice and exchange them for the size 7. They fit more like Blundstones or similar boots that have pull tabs, so I need to maneuver my foot a bit to get them in, but once they’re inside, there’s plenty of room without them feeling clunky and oversized like other rain boots.

The verdict: Yes! These are cute and comfortable and super functional but run large so size down. I thought the all black was too harsh and wish I’d gotten them in the toffee color.

Everlane Day Heel

I tried a couple of other pairs of heels before deciding on the Everlane day heel, and I’m so glad I did. I wasn’t sure I’d like the look of these, but they are so cute on. The heel is a perfect height for work or day-to-day wear.

Even though they haven’t stretched enough for a truly comfortable fit in the toe box, I’m tempted to get them in a lighter color for summer. I also have them in black for the perfect dressy work outfit.

Everlane day heel review — Everlane day heel in black leather

How does the Everlane day heel fit?

The flexible back of the shoe is genius! Unlike on the Day Loafer, the soft elastic of the Day Heel doesn’t dig into my heel at all, and it allows the shoe to go on easily and fit with a bit more give than the average shoe. However, the front of the shoe is a bit tight on me and the leather is stiff, so I’d suggest going up a half size.

Check the sizing information on Everlane for this shoe — they used to have a “narrower fit” but recent releases have been more true to size.

How do I wear the Everlane day heel?

I wear these heels to work with slim ankle length pants. I wear them only with bare feet and never with tights because the heel slips off. But because they’re tight, I don’t wear them when I have to do much walking.

The verdict: For me, maybe. Many people love them, and I like the look but they just don’t work for my feet because the toe box is too tight for me. These are well made shoes that come in a fun variety of colors, so you’ll probably love them.

Everlane Leather Mule Sandal

Everlane jumpsuit and Leather Mule Sandal — GoWeave jumpsuit (Everlane jumpsuit reviews), micro-rib open V-neck, and mule sandal in chocolate

These mule sandals are a recent addition to my wardrobe, and I really, really like them — comfortable, basic, and well made. When I want something comfortable but dressier than my Birkenstocks, I reach for these.

The leather is super soft yet substantial, and the shoes are much more comfortable than I imagined. The 2″ heel is enough to elevate any outfit but not high enough to be uncomfortable or hard to wear. Like other Everlane shoes, these are made in Italy and feel like a well-made shoe to last many years. Even though we’ve been staying home lately, I’ve been reaching for them almost every time we’ve gone out.

Because I’m 5’3″, these sandals add the extra height so that I don’t get overwhelmed by wide-leg cuts.

How do the Everlane mule sandals fit?

They’re true to size, so for me, my usual size fits perfectly. No break in time, no rubbing, no pinching. The leather that goes across my toes is not tight. These are very comfortable!

The verdict: Yes! I’m really happy to have these in my wardrobe! My only hesitation is that I’m not in love with the chocolate color, so I was happy to see them in white and black.

**Note: The following styles are no longer available on Everlane, but I am keeping the reviews here in case they’re restocked or you want to buy a bused pair. To see all the current styles sold on Everlane, click here.

Everlane Heel Boot

These are one of my oldest pairs but I still wear them all the time. I fell in love with the look of these because of the contrast between the black leather and the brown heel, and I constantly receive compliments on them. They’re beautiful, classic boots that can be worn for a variety of purposes.

How do Everlane Heel Boots fit?

I’ve had these boots for a couple of years, and I still love them! They are so well made and comfortable. The sole has a bit of cushion, and the heel is just the right height. Occasionally, the ball of my foot gets a little tired or my toes a little pinched by the end of the work day. That’s not surprising because, as I mentioned above, I spend a lot of time on my feet at work, and the toe box of these boots is pointy.

These boots took a little time to break in. At first, I experienced tenderness on the sides of my little toes because the boot narrows as it gets closer to the tip. However, after several wears, this doesn’t bother me anymore unless I wear them for a lot of walking.

The soft Everlane Day Boot is more comfortable, but I prefer the sleeker look of the Heel Boot and the amazing Chelsea boot.

How do I wear the Everlane Heel Boot?

I love to wear these with a dress and opaque tights to work. I also wear them to work with cropped pants or out on weekends with high rise jeans (I love Everlane denim!). I use a pair of no-show socks.

The verdict: Yes! Well made and timeless. I’ve had these a long time, and I still love wearing them with tights and a dress to work.

Everlane Day Loafers

Everlane’s day loafers are from their Day line (like the day boot and day glove flats). These are perfect for people like me who need nice-looking but comfortable shoes for work.

Everlane day loafer review — Day loafer in camel, cropped pants in navy for work (similar)

How do the Everlane day loafers fit?

The old style of day loafers used to fit small, but the new style fits true to size.

The verdict: a great classic style! Available only in black or cream leather and black suede right now. Let’s hope Everlane makes more colors soon!

Everlane Day Heel Mule

If you’re looking for a comfortable shoe with some heel, these are a great choice! These are a beautiful, well made shoe, and the open back means more comfort.

I love the Everlane day heel mule because of the classic color, the softness of the leather, and the flexibility in size that the mule style offers. Thanks to the open back, there’s no pinching on the heel or toe box.

How does the Everlane day heel mule fit?

The mule is a good option for people like me who want an all-day heel but more comfort than the day heel offers. The front of the shoe is very comfortable, thanks in part to the suppleness of the leather. They fit true to size.

The verdict: Yes! Comfortable & well made

Everlane Modern Loafer

Everlane retired the modern loafer (their first shoe back in 2014), and I’m honestly a little heartbroken! These were the first shoes I bought from Everlane, and they’re still one of my favorite pairs. Good news? Their new modern loafer style from 2022.

Everlane Leather Platform Sandals

These are the sandals that I never knew I needed but now can’t imagine not having! They’re that perfect shoe in between casual (the style) and dressy (the height). I love that the platform sole, at 1.75 inches, makes me look taller.

Everlane platform sandals review — Everlane platform sandals in golden brown

The top straps are made of leather, the back strap is recycled polyester and velcro, and the sole is biobased EVA and recycled and natural rubber.

The sole is very cushy, so it feels very light while walking. My only concern about these sandals is that the sole is so light and soft that it will easily pick up marks. The other colors have a black sole, which would eliminate that concern, and the black and white look very modern, but I chose this brown sandal to go with more of my summer clothing.

How do the Everlane Platform Sandals fit?

These fit true to size but come in whole sizes only. The description says to size down for half sizes, which I did not find to be the case. I wear a 7.5 and got an 8 and they fit perfectly. Everlane has easy, free returns, so you could order both sizes and return one.

These are very comfortable straight out of the box! The materials are soft and the shoe is adjustable.

The straps are soft and don’t poke into my skin at all. The top strap that goes across my toes is, in my opinion, the perfect width, and both the middle and back straps are adjustable.

The interior sole is made of brown leather and has just a bit of cushion. There’s just a bit of arch support, but overall these sandals feel flat against the bottom of my foot.

The verdict? Yes! The platform sandal is a winner.

Everlane Tread Runners: So cute and comfy!

All Everlane sneakers are made with sustainable materials and have a retro look that’s hard to beat. These are no exception, and after trying all of their sneakers/trainers/runners, I think these are the best! The perfect combo of super cute and comfy! And a bonus: they make my feet look small!

Thankfully Everlane is taking the same approach as their original Tread sneaker in using sustainable materials to make these new runners: “made from more sustainably sourced materials, like a low-plastic sole and a 100% recycled polyester lining.”

How do the Everlane Tread runners fit?

They fit true to size and require no break-in time. I was a little surprised that the sole does not have much support, but they are very comfortable! If you need more arch support, this shoe is probably not for you.

My biggest concern is the tongue of the shoe. Unlike other athletic shoes, this one is stiff and therefore comes straight out and does not fold up against my ankle. This means that the tongue pokes into my ankle. Fortunately, it’s not enough to bother me much, but it is definitely noticeable. This may not be an issue for you if you wear socks (I wear no-show socks, so there’s no sock to protect my ankle) or if your ankles are smaller than mine.

The verdict? YES! I love these — they’re cute and so versatile. One of my favorite shoes right now, hands-down!

Everlane Leather Thong Sandal

I needed some new summer sandals and wanted flat yet feminine sandals that I could wear with long summer dresses. I was really excited about these thong sandals because of the classic color and minimal shape, but I wish the leather strap were smaller and the sole wider because I have slightly wide feet.

Like most other Everlane shoes, the details show the quality: a square toe, soft leather, made in Italy. They come in three classic colors: black, caramel, and burnt sienna.

Everlane leather thong review — Everlane thong sandals in caramel

How do Everlane leather thong sandals fit?

These fit true to size, so take your usual size. If you’re in between sizes, size up a half size.

The footbed is narrow, which was almost a deal-breaker for me because I have slightly wide feet, and I found that the widest part of my foot was wider than the sole. However, this did not affect the comfort — the leather is very soft and forms to my foot. There was no break in needed!

These sandals have a flat sole, so if you’re looking for support, these are not a good choice.

The verdict: Yes, these are beautiful thong sandals, but better suited for narrower feet.

Everlane Square-Toe Chelsea Boot

Everlane Chelsea boots review — Square-toe Chelsea boots

I’ve been wanting a stylish pair of low boots since seeing women wearing them all over Italy, and these are exactly what I was hoping for. The rich chocolate brown color is perfect for fall and winter, and the boots appear to be extremely well made. I’ve decided to rehome these boots, however, because I now have a bunion and can wear only soft shoes. Let me know if you’re interested!

Chelsea square toe boots in chocolate, image courtesy Everlane

How do the Everlane Square-Toe Chelsea Boot fit?

I ordered my usual size, 7.5, and they fit great. In fact, there’s a little room after my big toe so the shoes don’t pinch in the toe box at all, but they won’t work for wide feet.

They slide on and off pretty easily thanks to the elastic panels on the side and top. My only gripe so far is that the sole has no traction, so I will probably add these traction pads for shoe soles.

The verdict: Yes but with a caveat. The Chelsea boot is very well made and comfortable enough, but the shape of the boot makes my feet look a little long and the soles are slippery. They may not work if you have wide feet or foot sensitivities like I do.

Everlane Double-Strap Block Heels

I bought these shoes for an event and am so glad I decided to spend the money on them. And now they’re just $44!

They fit well and were comfortable right out of the box. The sand lizard color has beautiful lizard detail in the leather for extra interest, and the color goes with everything. The heel is the perfect height for everyday use at just two inches. These are one of my favorite pairs of shoes!

How do the block heels fit?

I ordered my usual Everlane size, 7.5, but some reviews suggest ordering up a half size. At first, they fit but just barely, but now that I’ve worn them a few times, the strap across the top is no longer tight, and they are perfect.

These are beautiful, well-made strap heels that can be worn with everything. The leather is sophisticated enough that you could even wear these to a more formal event.

The verdict? Yes!! I was hesitant to spend $155 on them, but I believe they are well worth it.

Everlane Knee-High Boot

(These boots sold out quickly but they sometimes have them in limited sizes.) When I received these boots, I was immediately struck by how soft and beautiful the leather is. The texture and weight remind me of the buttery soft leather of the Day Glove and Day Boot, and the construction of the foot is just like the Day Boot with the seam down the middle and comfortable toe box. Since then, I’ve been wearing them to work at least once a week.

Note that because the boots are not like a boot with a zipper, these bag at the heels. At first, I wasn’t sure about this, but it’s part of the style of the boot and it’s really grown on me. I love that they’re not too dressy but still look good with a range of outfits. Everlane released three colors (black, adobe brown, and bone) but they quickly sold out. Like other Everlane boots, this style bodes well for future Everlane boot styles!

How do the Everlane knee-high boots fit?

The best news about these boots is that they’re extremely comfortable. The toe box is soft so your foot doesn’t get pinched. The heel is not too high, and the calf is large enough to accommodate a range of calf widths and even tight jeans or pants for most people.

These run a tad big. Take your regular size or one-half size down. I usually wear boots with skirts and tights, not socks, and should have ordered a half-size down.

The verdict? Yes all the way. These are beautiful, comfortable, versatile boots that you can keep and wear for many years.

Everlane Wrap Sandal

I love Everlane sandals; they’re always classy, like something I’d buy in Italy, not the U.S. I receive lots of compliments on them.

I’ve worn these so much, and they’re still going strong, but after a second season of wear, the sole separated just a bit at the front of one of them. I love them so much that I’m going to take them to be fixed (or glue them myself?), and I think that after so much use, this kind of problem is to be expected.

How do I wear the wrap sandals?

I wear them with Everlane jumpsuits, cropped jeans and midi skirts

How do the Everlane wrap sandals fit?

I ordered them in my usual size, 7.5 At first, I was worried because the strap that goes across the toes was tight, but they quickly loosened up. I’d say that if you have wide feet, that strap would be too small for your feet, but my feet are normal width, maybe slightly wide, and fit fine in that top strap. And it really does stretch out over time. After hundreds of wears, the top strap is now almost too loose.

The verdict: Yes! These are my favorite sandals. The style is delicate enough to look feminine and they go with everything.

Everlane Street Shoes

Currently sold out on Everlane. Try finding a used pair on Poshmark.

These leather street shoes were on my wish list for months, and I finally decided to buy them this fall. They’re a great casual shoe, but I have had issues with them being a bit tight in the toe box of one foot. This was disappointing because I love the modern style, versatile enough that I can wear them to work or any other place. I had a hard time deciding on the color but love the gray.

How do the Everlane street shoes fit?

They’re true to size but the toe is narrow. I tried ordering a half size up but found them too big so went back down to my usual, a 7.5, and they’ve stretched a bit, but I’ve ordered a shoe stretcher to stretch them out more. The soles are just bouncy enough for all-day wear.

How do I wear the Everlane street shoes?

I’ve been wearing them with my favorite black jeans, black trousers at work, and leggings when I’m in a rush. I always use a pair of no-show socks but can wear them without socks, too.

The verdict: No unless you have narrow feet.
