"I read reviews and decided to order these despite others saying fit was off. I am a solid 9. 5, ordered this size because most said they were true to size. Turns out these are narrow and feel snug. Length is ok. I do not find the heel cup to be wildly large. I can't even wear these at this point. I am trying to stretch wearing them with big socks around the house, but they are squeezing and numbing my feet. I will probably take them to a cobbler to be stretched professionally. They literally feel like a 9. As far ad style, they are cute-ish, but the top view leaves me wishing I would have selected another brand. Lug loafers should be stout. These have a long vamp and pointed toe. Wish it was more rounded and a little square. This is just a penny loafer looking shoe from the top with a thick sole. Got them on final sale and I was so excited because I have been looking at them for a long time. Everlane if you make another chunky loafer, consider an edgier profile with rounded toe if not square. A bigger toe box would be great."
"Great quality but toe box tight and a bit heavy."
"The shoes fit well and the leather is good quality. However they are incredibly heavy, I am drained after walking around in them after just one hour. I donated them."
"Like many others, I had fit issues with these. I started with my usual 7. 5, but they were way too tight. I went up a half size to 8 and still too tight. So I finally ordered a full size up - 8. 5 and they are huge! Won’t even stay on my feet. I don’t get it and am really disappointed because otherwise they look great. :("
"They’re cute but they fit poorly. My heel slips right out of them every time so I’m not able to wear them. It’s too bad that this can only be figured out by wearing them, which prevents a return."
"I used to believe Everlane was a brand that cared about quality and customer satisfaction, but my recent experience has completely shattered that impression. I purchased a pair of loafers that are not only unbearably uncomfortable but also don’t fit properly—despite following their sizing recommendations. After just one wear, I reached out to customer service, expecting at least some level of flexibility or understanding. Instead, I was met with a rigid, unhelpful return policy and zero willingness to make an exception. For a company that markets itself as transparent and ethical, their customer service is anything but. A truly customer-focused brand would stand behind its products, especially when they cause pain or fit issues. Instead, Everlane has made it clear they prioritize policy over people. If you’re considering buying shoes from them, don’t. Their return policy is strict, their sizing is unreliable, and their customer support is dismissive. I won’t be shopping here again, and I’d advise others to think twice before doing so."
"I like these a lot. They feel really well made and high quality. The sole is rubbery and grips well and overall they are comfortable. My one foot is a bit smaller than the other so I bought some leather heel inserts to go in one shoe to keep it from having heel lift. My only complaint is without tights or socks they make a farting sound when you walk lol. But I’m hoping that goes away the more I break them in. Overall they are really nice. I bought the brown and they look a bit more burgundy but the color is quite nice and subtle. I have super tiny feet so I love that Everlane size 5 shoes fit me perfectly."
"This is a very comfortable shoe, even from the first wear. It’s chunky, but not so much that it feels being, or makes my already large feet look bigger."
"Beautiful shoes. Beautiful croc. But they are narrow. I could barely get them on and I've never ordered narrow shoes. The larger size didn't work for me either. Too bad. I'd have loved to have them in my mix."
