The Everlane Street Shoe


My apologies for the gap in my posts. I had an amazing birthday in Texas and I am ready to hunker down in the city after a long string of travels. More on that later.

As my fellow Everlane #fangirls know, the Street Shoe was recently debuted in a handful of cities for private viewings and limited sales. I had the pleasure of attending the event in Manhattan's Lower East Side neighborhood:






Crafted by hand in Italy, the structure and design is flawlessly  contemporary and urbane. The soles are ultralight and slightly buoyant. Drawn to the suede style in beige, I sized-up 1/2 size, which fits like a glove. I was a bit worried about the white soles coupled with the New York streets, but the treads provide a nice buffer. I'm impressed with the overall comfort (worn with ankle socks). 

The Street Shoe will set you back $150 and will be available at Everlane dot com on 1 May. Act quickly, stock is quite limited. View the official Street Shoe Preview here.
