High hopes, but such poor quality
I chose to shop at Everlane because I worried about my fast fashion purchases and the imprint they were having on the environment. I recently purchased the "Boss Mules" because I thought they looked timeless and I was convinced they would last for years. I work in an office setting and these were a practical staple piece to add to my wardrobe. My first disappointment came when I scuffed the toe of one shoe. I assumed that like my husbands well made expensive shoes I would be able to polish it away. I was so upset to see that these were not repairable, the material chosen was not polish-able, it was just a leather overlay? I kept wearing them, intent on not buying new items and keeping my environmental footprint low. Until today, when on my way to a very important work meeting to my shock and horror the heel on my "Boss Mule" separated from the sole. After only 5 months of very light use they are completely destroyed. I looked completely disheveled, talk about a poor first impression. For a company who prides themselves on ethics this just feels wrong. It's upsetting that people trying so hard to do their part to contribute to society in a positive way are met with products that are misrepresented on sleek websites. I will hobble home today in not only embarrassment but the utmost disappointment in discovering yet another fast fashion company.
