The Read | Product Design Leather Shoes You Don't Need To Break In June 15, 2021 3-minute read We’ve all been there–slipping on a pair of leather shoes and feeling immediate discomfort. “How long will this last? Will they stretch? Are they going to be comfortable eventually?” High-quality structured leather shoes often have a break-in period of 5-8 wears in which the leather softens and molds to your foot. For many, this period is uncomfortable and results in blisters. Poppy Barley EverEase™ flats eliminate the traditional shoe structure, resulting in instantly comfortable footwear that doesn’t require a break-in period. Each EverEase™ style pares down comfort to its simplest form–a flexible sole and no rigid foot constraints, with an exceptionally soft leather upper body. The result: shoes that feel like slippers for all-day comfort. Photo by Dallas Curow. Meet our best-selling EverEase™ styles: The Eyelet Oxford The Eyelet Oxford is the first style introduced into our EverEase™ line-up. The shoe features elastic laces to secure the shoe to the foot while being reminiscent of an oxford. The Eyelet Oxford is the perfect alternative to sneakers–more playful, more dressy, and just as comfortable. "I LOVE these shoes! They are hands down the most comfortable flats I've ever owned.
