Who Remembers 'everywhens'?

[p-potter]

My sister and I were reminiscing and mentioned 'Everywhens' which were shoes we wore as children in the fifties. The rest of the company looked mystified. They were shoes/sandals designed to be worn in the summer on casual or more formal occasions. They were filled in at the front and had a strap with a button fastening. I googled the name and nothing came up. Please reassure us we're not the only ones who remember being fitted out with these at the start of the summer!

Were they like the sweet little dress sandals that they wore in Grease? If so I've seen a few people about in those recently.

I don't remember everywhens but the shoes you describe sound like the ones we got from a charity called. Cinderella Club. They were always black and I remember being very embarrassed because everyone knew they were from a charity and we were called names.
