Reviews mention

  • Exceptionally comfortable cushioning
  • Lightweight, travel-friendly construction
  • Machine-washable, easy maintenance
  • Sustainable, minimalist aesthetic
  • Limited arch support comfort
  • Faster-wearing outsole tread
  • Wool uppers stain easily
  • Toe-box fabric thins

Allbirds earns strong reviews for exceptional comfort, light weight, and machine-washable ease, making Tree Runners, Wool Runners, and loungers reliable everyday and travel shoes; however, many note limited support for long walks/runs, faster tread wear and toe holes, wool styles running warm and staining easily, narrow sizing without half sizes, and a polarizing, sometimes “dated” look. Overall, the brand is good for casual wear and sustainability-minded buyers, but not ideal for heavy-duty performance or those needing robust arch support and long-term durability.

  • My allbirds are one of my most worn shoes. They’re so comfortable, they go with everything, and I just love their mission. I even have a shirt from them that is so breathable and light. Allbirds will always have my business.

  • I have one pair of their classic wool runners! I have to work 24 hour shifts for my work and these are my go to, they feel like slippers and somehow keep your feet the perfect temperature. They are also very cute and I've now had mine for 3 years and they have held up great!

  • Got these as a gift when they first came out and I love, love, love them. They just look so much sleeker than regular sneakers and they feel, well… breathable. Since I got them, I have been seeing them on everybody, so guess I’m not the only one who has been enjoying the craze.

    Nice looking and really comfy. Changed the whole sneaker-wearing game.

  • Super comfortable and easy to wear, just wish they didn’t make your feet look enormous!

  • I've repurchased Allbirds after I wore my first ones to shreds. They are comfortable, cute, breathable, and perfect for hot city living. Good shipping, nice packaging, and great design.

    I gave Allbirds a 4/5 because the shoes that I ordered are made to be light, and I have owned comfier shoes that made my arches hurt less. So I switch off between wearing my comfier shoes and my Allbirds.

  • Comfortable, stylish, sustainable shoes drew me in to try the brand. Overall, I have been pretty disappointed with my purchase. I specifically got a pair that were water resistant because I live in the PNW - they were marketed as wool based water resistant shoes that seemed perfect for my climate. However, they have never held up to rain or even puddles. If I’m walking in the rain for more than 2 or 3 minutes, water start to deep in through the sole and my socks get damp. I will not be purchasing Allbirds again.

    Did not live up to expectations.

  • Comfortable, and versatile, but not my favorite. Have 3 pairs, wool runners to running shoes, and the soles wore down 10x faster than the cheap Adidas trainers I picked up to compare against. I would likely not purchase again for that very reason. I would recommend them to folks who are not on their feet much, you will find them comfy and easy, and friends and fam love them as gifts.

  • I got these for my husband for Christmas 3 years ago and they have by far been his favorite sneakers he has ever owned. He has since bought more pairs and we have also gifted them to other family members too. Allbirds is definitely one of the best and most sustainable options when it comes to every day sneakers today. Highly recommend!

    Shoes and socks are awesome. My husband bought a t-shirt once but it was really thin and a little see-through so we haven’t tried any more clothing. Definitely recommend any of the footwear though!

  • The OG sustainable shoe. They’ve continued to innovate over the years. I’ve tried their wool runner and tree runner and have been happy both times. They experiment with funky colors too sometimes.

  • I've been through a few pairs of allbirds over the last 7 years and I've loved every pair. So comfortable and easy to thrown on with any outfit.

  • Good products. Not that “new” anymore.

    Wish the shoes would maintain their shapes better

  • I used to swear by Allbirds, but I grew apart from them. They lack support and I found after a while the structure of the shoe deteriorated. Comfortable for lounging but not much else.

    Improve support

  • I’ve had 3 pairs of AllBirds and for the most part, I’ve really liked them! My white pair got trashed and I tried to wash them but the wash didn’t help them much. My next pair were extremely comfy but after a few months started to give me some blisters (they are the ankle height ones). My third pair are high tops and they’re very comfy! I do like them overall and think they’re very comfy in general!

    Feedback

    The white ones are a bit harder to wash and I wish the back of the shoes stayed firm for a bit longer (I think that’s what contributed to my blisters)

  • I have the Women's Tree Runners in all black and they are the most comfortable sneaker I've ever owned. They feel like a cloud. Love the ethos of the brand and how sustainable they are. I will definitely be buying them again and in more colors. I've worn them during long, several mile, walks and I feel they really support my feet. They're very reasonably priced for the quality and durability.

    Feedback

    Nothing!

  • I like the look of Allbirds sneakers for a very casual vibe! They're soft and comfortable.

    Feedback

    For me, they haven't hold up particularly well. The wool upper has come loose from the outer sole, and one of my pairs has just really stretched out over time.

  • These shoes live up to the hype! I try to only wear them every once in a while because I don't like to get them dirty. They are so comfy though and very easy to clean!

  • Finally bought some in 2020 and love them. The Wool High Tops are amazing for cold New England dog walks without socks! The running sneakers are excellent support and fit with or without socks.

    Feedback

    Keep innovating new versions!

  • Nice shoes and super comfy to wear. Unfortunately I stopped wearing them as soon as I moved into tech, given how synonymous the brand is with tech bros / SF lol. I recently bought my dad a pair as a gift though as I do still rate them.

    Feedback

    I once forgot my gym sneakers so wore them to run on a treadmill and kept getting electric shocks. Wool and rubber are a bad combo!! Don't make my mistake!! ;-O

  • Yeah, so I keep coming back and trying new allbirds and I have to say I'm always just like... Okay with them. My early pairs fell apart pretty quickly, loosing shape. They've definitely gotten better at quality, construction and materials. But I still feel like other shoes just last longer. That being said I absolutely love their mission and the fact they push innovation on sustainable product, material and processes. They're a brand I look up to with my own in this respect. I wear my allbirds occasionally now, mostly so they don't wear out too quick, but still mostly reach for my Atoms.

  • Lightweight, breathable, kind of chic-looking nurse-like shoes. Adore the simple design and cushy soles.

    I've never been able to successful wear these without socks, as they're meant to be worn. I get a blister right in the middle of my heel. But with socks, they're sweet.
