Everlane Modern Point Review
So far I'm a big fan of Everlane's shoe selection and I've done an Everlane Modern Loafer Review and an Everlane Street Shoe Review. Today I'll be reviewing their Modern Point Shoes and spoiler alert: I love these Everlane shoes the most.
First, if you wanted to see the difference between the Modern Loafer and the Modern Point:
As you can see, the Modern Point is a sleeker shoe (which I prefer) while the Modern Loafers are of a more classic and traditional style. As for sizing, they are consistent. I purchased the both the Modern Point and Modern Loafer in a size 8 (while for Everlane's Street Shoe, I had to go another half size up to 8.5; and for reference I usually wear a TOMS 7.5).
Now what I love most about the Modern Points, other than the sleeker style is the type of leather they used for this shoe. It's a very soft and flexible leather so it doesn't require a breaking in period (if you read my Modern Loafers Review, you know that I used the freezer method to break-in the shoe instead of actually wearing them to break them in). With the Modern Points, I didn't have to do that. It fit like a glove from the very beginning. Also the leather around the ankles and Achilles on the Modern Loafer is a lot stiffer and thus hurts those areas after wearing it for awhile, but that's not a problem with the Modern Point (the leather doesn't come up as high on the Modern Point so it doesn't hit those areas).
As with the Modern Loafer, the bottom of the Modern Point is super smooth and slippery so I recommend getting Foot Petals Sole Stopperz (I bought them for the Modern Loafers and luckily it comes with 4 so I had two left for the Modern Points).
If you're deciding between Everlane's Modern Loafers or the Modern Points, and you like the look of both of them, I would recommend the Modern Points. It's just a much more comfortable shoe and it's about $15 less (which is enough to go buy one of Everlane's plain tee). But really you can't go wrong with either one! Both are well-made, sturdy leather shoes crafted in Italy.
{And if you're wondering why I didn't compare the Everlane Street Shoes with the Modern Point as much, it's because those shoes are quite different from each other. But if you would like more details on that comparison just let me know in the comments below, thanks!}
After I had purchased the black Modern Points, I was thinking about getting the black and white pair (that's how much I love these!) but unfortunately (or fortunately for my wallet) they're out of my size now. The black and white pair are the perfect substitute for the trendy Celine pair on the left.
