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.

  • i just don’t love the look or the fact that they don’t have great traction on the bottom so it’s easy to slip

  • I wear my Allbirds everyday. So comfortable and great for spring and fall transition weather.

  • They’re super light weight which is amazing, but I found the stretchy material allowed my feet to slip a little too much side to side as they broke in. Wonderful office shoes, but not great for the many miles I put in walking the pup.

  • Honestly a bit disappointing in their support and feel on foot. Although I enjoy the look and mission, I find that the bottom sole of the shoe does not support me for longer walks. The wool runners can also be a bit hot, but I guess could be good if your feet run cold in the winter.

  • I’ve had a pair of the runners for about 5 years and they’ve held up really well! They’re comfy and come in great colors!! Also they’re incredibly lightweight which I enjoy

  • I love Allbirds and own several pairs. They are comfortable and great for walking long distances or wearing around the house to prevent fatigue when working on chores or cooking. The brushed wool material does tend to wear quicker than the waffled material, which is why I give it 4/5.

  • High quality sustainable footwear. These look so good, better than yeezys, and come in such a great range of styles and colors

  • Me and my sisters purchased these shoes for my parents at different times for gifts. They’ve both been very happy with the comfort and look of these shoes! They came highly recommended from some family friends! I’m hoping to purchase some for myself eventually.

  • Allbirds have got to be one of my top favorite shoe brands. They are comfortable and look great! I bought 2 pairs, the original ones in grey and a pair of the runners. I love them both.

  • I love these sneakers! They're super comfy for both everyday wear and working out. I always get compliments on my all black pair and I've had them for almost 3 years now!

  • My partner absolutely loves his allbirds, mega comfy, versitile and simple. I don't think they last quite as long as other trainers that I've had, and don't love the design (chunk) of the laces, and think they could be streamlined a little.

  • I like them! I mean, I want to like them? Love the mission and the IDEA of them and I have a pair that has offered me some pretty decent walks, but they're not incredible? I'm glad I didn't pay full price when I got them.

  • I'll never get the hype. I wanted to like Allbirds so I tried different pairs. They've been consistently less comfortable than I heard, and the quality just isn't there. The clothing is not it either.

  • I like the look of Allbirds...for about a month. These shoes are a tech-world staple, but I hate how the shape of the shoe/material molds to your toes after normal wear and tear. And if you ever get them wet, good luck to ever get them looking how they did before the storm. I think there are more stylish, equally as eco friendly, and as comfy shoes out there on the market and would not repurchase these.

  • I have owned many pairs of allbirds over the years. The attention to detail from innovative sustainable materials used, to emphasis on the entire lifecycle of the product (how to dispose of your shoes) makes them stand out. Shoes have a cool look and are wildly comfortable.

  • LOVE my Allbirds! I have had several pairs of the wool trainers over the years and continue to love them. Easy to clean and throw in the wash and a great travel shoe. The only downside is I find them a tad too warm for the summer, warmer months.

  • I bought a pair of the ballet pumps when I was out wandering on my lunch hour. They are the most comfortable shoes ever. They are also made with sustainable materials and washable! The lady in the shop told me I could also wear them and take them back if I wasn’t impressed ( I didn’t). I’d like these in every colour! I would add, they could do with some different styles… I bought black ones which are non offensive so while they feel like a pair of slippers to wear, I’m sacrificing on styling options.
