Everlane Street Shoe Review {updated}

I purchased the Everlane street shoes in chalk a couple weeks ago and I've been wearing them around the house ever since to see how I like them.  

Here's a quick review of these shoes:

-First of all, these run super narrow.  I'm a 7.5 in TOMS but I needed to get an 8.5 in these (I also have Everlane's loafers, which I got in an 8, so these are even narrower than the loafers).

-These shoes are nubuck leather, which means they look great, but the get dirty really easily, especially the chalk color.  But the material is so gorgeous, like velvet.  But I also found that this shoe doesn't stretch out much so if they feel narrow, they'll stay narrow.

-The style: sometimes I look at these and think of Keds, but really they are more stylish than that, especially with the slightly pointed toe.

For my other Everlane reviews (on sweaters, shirts, and their Petra tote) the links are listed on the right if you're on a computer, or scroll to the bottom if you're on your phone (all reviews are done with items I've purchased for myself and are not sponsored, but if you'd like to help me purchase more items to review, please use my referral link here Thanks!).

{update: I ended up returning them after a spell because for the life of me they weren't comfortable.  The front was way too narrow and stayed narrow.  And because I had to get the larger size to fit my feet, they were a bit too long.  And I apologize to all those who might have tried them out due to my original glowing review of this.  Sometimes I fall in love with style of the shoe but then realize it doesn't fit my real life and I definitely wrote this when I was still in the honeymoon phase with these shoes.}
