Shoes

They're no longer shipping to the US, which is so sad, as these are some of the highest-quality, inexpensive shoes I've bought.

I wear these every day to the gym, around town, and on hikes. The color is great (taupe), and they can be easily cleaned in the washing machine. In the almost 1-year I've had these, they've held up surprisingly well and are quite comfortable. I'd absolutely buy another pair.

I purchased an all black pair. Great sleek look. Not the most comfortable sneaker I had. 

So comfortable!! Tons of compliments! I LOVE these shoes.

They came out with a new style but it is hard to understand the difference between the two. 

I really like these shoes. They’re different looking, they don’t have obvious branding/logos (a huge plus for me), they’re comfortable, and I like the colors. I wore them on a trip recently with lots of walking and my feet were pretty happy. They aren’t super “cushy” like some other brands but that doesn’t bother me. 

When the crisp white color, it is more challenging to clean than other white sneakers I own.

Underrated sneaker brand! Super easy to slip on and off, plus the sneaker provides great support for everything from indoor/outdoor runs to cycling to lifting sessions. Love to see the new expanded color selection, too. 

I like my Lane Eights! I got the bubblegum pink color, and surprisingly I love wearing them to walk or work out, it's a fun pop. They are really comfortable and sturdy, but the material after a while will get really really dirty. I like the soles because of it's hardy grip. I think it's more of an indoor gym/workout shoe than it is a walking shoe (in my opinion). 

While this wasn't an issue for the product -- if it fits your foot well, I'm sure it's great, but it didn't serve my narrow foot at all -- there are going to be other people who struggle with sizing and the policy should either be clearly outlined or modified. 

I bought a pair of these sneakers in 2020 and they didn't fit because they were too short for my womens 11 feet. So I sent them back for the next size up. Those also didn't fit because by their own proud admission, "Bonus: our shoes are unisex, with men’s and women’s styles offering the same fit. " So while the 12 gave me the length I needed, the shoe was too wide. 

I was still recommending them to people, despite the fact that they didn't fit me because I liked the mission. The joke was on me because the company emailed me back to tell me I wouldn't get a refund, only a store credit because I had already made a "return". I was upset and had to point out to customer service that: 
1. because this was a D2C company, there was no way to try on and know with certainty if I needed the 11 or 12 
2. that exchanging them once made me ineligible for a full a full refund
3. that a store credit would be useless as they only make one product (one style that spans men and women) so I would never have a purpose for it.
