Are Everlane Day Heels Actually Worth Your Money? (2023 Review)

Wrote in 2020. Updated 2023.

I’ve been lusting over Everlane Day Heels for years. Ever since an old co-worker of mine showed up to the office sporting a pair of these minimal block heels raving about how comfy they are, I’ve been tempted.

But, they’re also $145 and that’s a lot for one pair of heels. Especially since the older I get, the less I find myself wanting to wear any sort of heels at all.

But DANG, they do be looking cute, and if there’s really a pair of heels out there that are comfortable enough to wear all day (or tromp around these San Francisco hills in) I want those in my wardrobe.

Everlane Day Heel Review: Are These Insta-Famous Heels Worth Your Money?

 

I love the transparency Everlane as in their brand and how they focus on sustainable, slow fashion. I first got wind of their Day Heels almost 4 years ago now and they still carry this style – that’s awesome!! It’s rare to find brands that are truly slow these days.

But still, $145 for a pair of shoes… especially after 2020, let’s be honest: who knows when the next time I really need heels is going to be.

But then I saw there was an Everlane Day Heel Sale happening and it was GOOD. I got them for $65 a pair, which is over 60% off!!

What Day Heel I Bought

I grabbed myself a pair of the Black Leather Day Heel in size 9. They also offer a suede option, which I have not tried. I’m super attracted to the red pair of heels (I love a pop of color!) but I already own a pair of red Rothy’s so I decided a classic black pair of heels would have a better, more long-term place in my closet.

SHOP MY DAY HEEL 

They shipped pretty fast considering winter typical delays, and I while normally gravitate towards pointed toes on shoes, I love the ballet-inspired look of these heels with a rounded toe. Minimal, yet timeless.

Complaint: Day Heels Are Comfy, But Sizing Is A Bit Off

My main complaint is that my Day Heels are a bit tight. That’s actually my bad – I failed to read the sizing properly when I bought my pair.

I knew these sell out fast, especially at such a great price point, so I just chucked a size 9 into my cart and hit purchase.

My size 9s are pinchy on my toes. I’m not sure if I can break them in or not. I wore them around my apartment for a couple of hours the day they arrived and I can attest – they are pretty comfortable in every way but my toes being tight.

I haven’t tried these much outside my home other than running errands (lol thanks pandemic) but I think if I had a 9.5 or 10, these babies would be my go-to heel.

They have a classic look and go with pretty much any outfit I have put together.

With jeans? Yup. Business attire? Totally. Dresses and skirts? LOVE. Casually looks I’m trying to dress up? The Day Heels are just the trick for elevating my Athflow outfits.

Everlane Shoes Need To Form To Your Foot

After writing this post, I ended up buying another pair of Everlane shoes. I grabbed myself their Modern Day Glove flat and I had the same problem as with the heel: they were a little small at first. 

But I stuck with them and walked all over San Francisco in them. It took a couple of months but the leather finally molded around my foot and now they fit so perfectly. 

So, let’s say you got a pair of Everlane heels or modern loafers for Christmas. If you wear them a lot, but February they should be perfect. 

Everlane Day Heel Review: Are They Worth It?

Despite my heels being a little too small (again, my bad) I really love these heels and think they are absolutely worth it if you are in need of a heel you can truly wear all day.

Will your feet still hurt at the end of the day? Probably – they are heels after all. These aren’t a pair of flats.

But your feet will be far less sore, trust me. And these shoes are built to last, so you can trust they’ll be with you for years to come. I know it’s a bit cliche, but Everlane pieces really are investments.

The price tag is high, but the quality is high as well. You’ll be getting a LOT of wear out of your shoes. 

Pro tip: if you can swing it on your credit card, buy a couple of different sizes so you can get the best fit.

And yes, in case you are wondering, I’m returning my pair for the moment because they are too small on me and I just don’t have the energy to break them in right now and I’d rather just trade them in for a better size. 

I’ll be buying a new pair in size 9.5 or 10 because once this pandemic is over, GIRL, I plan on running around Paris or London sporting these cute AF heels and living my best life.

Do you own a pair of Day Heels? I’d love to hear your thoughts (good or bad)! Drop a comment so everyone can see. Got questions? Leave a comment or DM me on Instagram @thewhimsysoul and I’ll try to help.

    I have to say I love Shein. 2 days to a week shipping, honest reviews as I’ve left plenty myself and I always go back to see if they’ve been posted, which they have. I’ve bought 2 bags one of which I have used everyday for over 12 months with no problems. I’ve bought shoes which have been great. My knitted poncho and jumper are my winter favourites along with my coat. I’ve bought some fantastic underwear though I had a bra that was too big but couldn’t return it. I’m from Australia and all the clothes and shoes in the major department stores also come from China, Shein has way more variety and choice as far as I’m concerned. I find the clothes are usually on the large size for me as I buy from the curve section and from your pics you should as well. Cheers

    I appreciate your comments. However, I have not had the same experience. I think it is only fair to see others’ post. I never post anything online but I am NOT in agreement with you. I am on my 4th order. Anything you are going to buy online whether it is from Amazon, Walmart, Shein, Lowe’s or any other website. And look at where the products are made… not all in the u.s. there are a lot of products that people buy every single day that are made in china and have been since before I was a little girl. I am in the last quarter of life.You must read the descriptions very carefully. You also must be sure of what style you are going for when buying clothing, shoes or jewelry. I am on my 4th order. I have mostly bought clothes, a pair of shoes, quite a bit of earrings and other jewelry, including a toe ring that I have not taken off and get tons of compliments. I have only had an issue with 1 item and that is because I accidentally ordered it in tall. Gave it to someone who was tall and the loved it. Please note, some of your choices for your body type and skin coloring probably where not the best. I have bought clothes, jewelry and other stuff from very expensive stores and worn them once and had their seams come apart of other issues. I have not any issues with the wonderful kitchen shears I bought or any other items. I am a size 6 and figured out that I need to order the size 6 medium.

    Child labor, pollutes environment…you have proof of this? And other clothing companies don’t do this? These quite serious claims appear to be unsubstantiated by facts. And to be surprised that the clothes are not of the best quality seems odd—the prices communicate this. Should not be a surprise.

      It’s wild that you can read about facts (with sources!) about how terrible Shein is for workers and the environment but still think I’m the crazy one.

    It’s strange that even after reading information on how bad Shein is for the environment and employees (with references! ), you still believe I’m insane.

    I was also pressurized constantly by different calls daily to invest more Money after pestering me till I invested 4000€. I could not get what I had invested and they wanted me to invest more to make better Profit and I decided make withdrawals but they constantly refused, So after trying for sometime, they finally called oneday and told me they are having problem with the site that I should wait and I waited till 6 mount and I realized that all my money is gone and I have not heard a word after trying to make contact. I’ve tried getting my money back my money but I couldn’t until I came across recovering expert { b s o r v a 7 [at] G M A II. C O M } on a scam reviews site who help so many people getting back their Fund’s, with my greatest surprise I was able to get back my money and also my bonus the same week I contacted him thanks Mr Bogdan sorva , feel free and contact him and will also guide you on step how to get back your Fund’s.

    The Best part of all this is the experience and information acquired from the rigorous ups and down I got involved in while trying to invest my savings plus the lesson learned and not leaving out the quality service and professional experience I received at “VALOR HACK RECOVERY COMPANY”.it was tough putting my money together and the time it took to get it,my aim of investing at the first place was because of my decision to quit the day to day job and have my own business set up.The capital I pumped into the binary thing is enough to buy me a house and peace of mind in a nice neighborhood instead I opted for investing to double it which turned out worse than I expected.I’m not going to take all day so it’s best you read this carefully “losing crypto assets can be a distressing experience but with the right professional help, there is hope for recovery.By understanding the common reason for lost crypto assets and the importance of expert assistance, you can take proactive steps to safeguard your investments.
