Everlane Glove Boot ReKnit: An Honest Review

Okay, so I’m writing this section in real-time as I unbox the package.

My initial thoughts are yassssssss!. The boots are super cute and the color is fantastic, it’s exactly what I wanted. I purchased my glove boots in the color “Cumin” which is the perfect neutral color for my wardrobe because I can basically wear them with anything. FYI, the pictures I’ve posted in this article have a slight filter on them (nothing dramatic), but keep reading to see the true color.

2022 Update: Since Cumin is completely sold out at the time of this article, I recommend checking out Toffee for a mildly similar color. The tone is a little warmer than Cumin, but still super cute!

Touching the boots, you can absolutely feel the quality. Is it anything revolutionary? If you’re used to buying cheap boots, then yes! But if you’ve purchased higher quality boots, then no. Overall, they’re definitely high-quality boots which I appreciate. It’s clear to me that if it’s not high quality, Everlane won’t sell it.

My only initial hesitations with these boots are that I’m not entirely sure if they’re practical for me. After seeing them in person, I’m worried about the wear and tear NYC will bring upon them. Since my major form of transportation is walking, I’m concerned that these boots won’t be able to withstand NYC streets.

I’m toggling with the idea of exchanging them for the black color so they won’t get as dirty but I have so many black boots. So as of right now, I’m not sure how I feel about the lifespan of the boot and if it’s worth the price. This is definitely something you should consider if you live in a big city like me.

Update: The original color I purchased has held up IMMENSELY with the wear and year of NYC streets. They’re worn, but still, look great. I sometimes scuff them on accident when I’m walking, which I clean up with my trusty Tide To Go pen.

Are Everlane Glove Boots Comfortable?

If there’s anything the Everlane Glove Boots are, it’s comfortable. I think that’s kind of the point of the glove-style boot. This is perfect for someone like me who is constantly walking around the city.

They are also very easy to walk in. I am pigeon-toed and have bad knees so sometimes walking in heels is more uncomfortable than it should be, which is why I typically opt for sneakers or a shorter heel.

Update: I haven’t had any major discomfort wearing these shoes. If I wear them for an extensive period of time and am mostly standing, my feet will definitely start to feel a bit of discomfort. I usually will put a pair of comfy insoles into the sole of the shoe, which helps tremendously.

Is the Everlane Glove Boot True To Size?

I can confirm that Everlane’s Glove Boot fits true to size. I ordered a 7 and it fit perfectly. No complaints!

One thing that I was mildly worried about was if the opening of the boot wouldn’t be too loose on my ankles/calves so it wouldn’t look like I was swimming in the boots. I’m happy to say that they fit just fine around my ankles/calves. So if this is something you’re worried about, don’t be!

What Are Everlane Glove Boots Made Of?

Everlane’s Glove Boots are made of a cool fabric called ReKnit. What is ReKnit fabric? It is a fabric made from 9 renewed water bottles. Yup, you read that right. You’re wearing water bottles on your feet and, do they look good or what?!

If you’ve read my blog or know me, you know that I do my best to shop sustainably. Am I perfect? No. But I do my best. And Everlane is, in my opinion, a great brand where you can practice sustainability. If you want to buy some boots you feel good about, then these are the boots for you.

What Colors Do The Everlane Glove Boot Come In?

Update: At the time of writing this article in 2020, the Everlane Glove Boot came in a whopping 9 colors. Currently, in 2022, they sell 3. This might be a little surprising, but as someone who has worked in the fashion industry for 8+ years, it’s important to know that sometimes there are tough decisions to make around underperforming colors/styles which is likely the reason why they cut down on some colors.

It’s clear that Everlane decided to stick with neutral tones. Which, if you think about the values of Everlane as a sustainable company promoting a minimalist wardrobe, it makes sense.

At the time of this article in 2022, the Everlane Glove boot comes in 3 colors. Black, Toffee, and Bone which you can see below.

These Glove Boots colors are extremely versatile and are the perfect neutral option for everyone, no matter your style. Also, these are the exact colors that are perfect for anyone wanting to build a minimalist wardrobe.

As I mentioned above, I ordered my boots in Cumin which is a great neutral option for any outfit but since they don’t offer this color anymore, I recommend checking out Toffee.
