The Everlane "40 Hour Flats" | Edit.

 *This Post contains PR Gifts

It is no secret that Everlane has become one of my favourite brands. Recently I added two new pairs of black flats from their collection to my shoe closet: the "40-Hour-Flat" in leather and in ReKnit. And they are both the most comfortable flats I have ever owned. And of course, I have to share them with you guys. So today I thought I would talk about the difference between the two materials and why I chose to get both.

The shape of the "40-Hour Flat" is a classic pointy shape with a slightly straightened tip. The point is also not too narrow which looks quite understated and also makes the shoe more comfortable. I really don't like overly pointed shoes, à la Balenciaga, as they can look too much very easily.

The leather style is made out of very soft Italian leather, which makes it look so professional and put together. It is not only made from Italian leather but is also manufactured in Italy itself. Did you know that Everlane discloses where every single item is being made and how their pricing comes about? They tell you the detailed rates for the materials, labor, duties and transport. Just scroll down on the individual product pages and you will find all the information. How cool is that? 

The leather pair is my go-to for the office and whenever I want to look a bit more professional. The ReKnit, however, is perfect for hot summer days and for more casual looks. Of course, they look so chic either way so you can definitely get away with either pair for professional and casual occasions. The ReKnit pair is made out of a recycled breathable knit upper and an outsole made out of recycled bottles. If you don't love this brand yet you will now. 

For me, I got both pairs true to size, but they do recommend sizing up half a size for sizes 8 and up. So maybe that is something to keep in mind when ordering your own pair. 

Have you tried any Everlane pieces yet?
