Everlane's brand-new Day Loafer is already a cult-favorite due to the soft, foot-molding silhouette that gives it a modern look and feel. I don't know what I did before Everlane's Day Loafer entered my life. Actually, I do know — I suffered from frequent blisters and weird heel pains, and I looked a lot less put-together on days that required significant walking. Which is most days, since I live in New York City.
The Day Glove and Day Boot have changed my 10,000-plus-steps-a-day lifestyle for the better, so words cannot express how excited I was when I heard the brand was launching a Day Loafer. Like the other Day shoes, these are made of soft, supple Italian leather that molds to the shape of your feet as you wear them.
As a result, the shape is more glove-like than most loafers, giving them an updated silhouette. This shoe is everything I love about the Day Glove flats, but with the polished veneer of a more traditional loafer. A padded insole and elastic back add to the comfort factor. You may consider sizing up due to the tight leather, though the fit should relax over time.
These shoes are still new, but they already have a 4.4-star rating on the Everlane site based on more than 200 reviews. The Insider Picks team tested them out to rave reviews, though opinions differed about the elastic on the back. They've also been featured by Travel + Leisure and The Cut. InStyle called them "just as comfortable as a sneaker."
Pros: Molds to feet, soft leather, cushioned insole, unique color selection
Cons: Leather is delicate, runs small
