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 everyday shoes
I've been a long time allbirds fan to the point I've owned at least 10+ pairs over my lifetime. My favorite part of the fit and feel of the classic models that allow me to wear the shoes without socks. However, over the years, the quality has gone down and the pricing varies significantly whether you buy it on sale or full-price. I'm a bit sad to see where the direction is heading for these shoes since the quality is no longer what it was before. The new stuff they come out with just scream fast fashion vs. the quality and comfort that used to be best part of albirds. I would never pay full price anymore.

Amazing company! The shoes also are great! They last and are not only stylish but very comfortable.
Feels like this 75% hype. It's comfy enough, but isn't worth the price. The shape of the shoe is good for wide feet but at the same time has a bit of a boat like feel because of the width. Not obsessed, and honestly was going to return mine but it was outside the return window.
Super comfy but they are a little pricey and the flats I got developed a hole.
Love my Allbirds! I walked all over Australia in my Allbirds wool runners and never once did my feet complain. I accidentally left them on a overnight boat and panicked until the company mailed them to my next hotel! The different colors available are awesome, so unique from a regular sneaker. Currently contemplating a few more pairs.
I love my all birds! They are comfortable, durable, machine washable, and overall a high quality shoe. My husband and I both use their products and my one tip would be so save the cardboard liners the shoes come with and store the shoes with them in so they can maintain their shape over the years.
I was an early adopter and wore them quite a bit- even before the VC folks all ruined them. I think they're the PERFECT shoe for airplanes, but they're not as good for someone who has flat feet. I purchased a pair of superfeet to put in them, but it defeated the main purpose of a flexible shoe like this. They're elegant, space and handsome- but they're not dressy enough and not casual enough for me. I thought they lasted quite well- and I liked the idea that I could throw them in the wash anytime. I did that a few times, but didn't feel the need to do this often. One possible issue for me is that I was likely in between sizes- and didn't really find my groove. I thought they'd stretch to my feet, but they were always a bit off.

Such great sneakers - super comfy, easy on/off and so simple to wash! Love the different colors they come in too.
I have a blue pair and peach pair. They're so cute and comfortable. I love the clean design and simplicity.

Generally great shoes that have held up well over the last two years of wear. I bought them when I was looking for a comfortable shoe that was water resistant and was happy to support the brand’s sustainability efforts. My only real complaint is that I think that they have shrunk a bit. The shoes are meant to be washable and I followed the instructions of only washing them in cold water on delicate and air drying. Even given that though, I think that they were worth it.
Ran a little small, but a really great looking shoe! Honestly not as comfortable as I anticipated - but it's possible they require a little more breaking in.
I purchased the Women's Wool Runner Mizzles three years ago and have been so impressed. I live in the Pacific Northwest and it is always wet outside in the winter. These are the perfect everyday shoes for running around town and not ending up with wet socks. The water-repellant nature of these shoes really works. I've even worn them on a very wet golf course and didn't leave with soggy shoes. They also have really lasted through everything I've put them through. I'll be purchasing another pair this year only because I want them in an additional color!

Most comfortable shoe ever! I wear these almost every day and have had over a dozen pairs.
Allbirds are my go-to for day to day and especially when I travel. I love that I can wear them with socks or without and they don't absorb any odor. It's amazing that you can wash them over and over and there is no change to the size or shape. These are simply the best! My favorite are the tree skippers : )
Bought a pair of these for my husband who says they're the comfiest casual shoes he's ever worn! Also love the sustainability aspect, and they have great sales throughout the year!

I got a pair of the Tree Runners for my mom - she says the comfort is there, but the white color gets dirty SO easily. I know, obviously it’s a white shoe, but I think the fabric makes it get dirty easier. Im sure a different color would be no problem though!
I bought these when they used to be all the rage and was not impressed at all. They look like nurse shoes and the wool fabric made my feet feel way too hot. Also was not in love with the colors they had and overall really underwhelmed with the product.

Allbirds have high-quality and comfortable shoes. The price is on par with competitors, but durability and comfort on my shoes have been great. The first pair I purchased online had an issue with the fabric attached to the tongue that stuck out. I took it back to the store and they replaced them and gave me a 10% discount for the hassle which was nice. I wore a walking shoe during a one week cruise around Europe and feet were so happy. Allbirds also sells replacement soles which you can put in your old pairs or other shoes if you want the comfort in another pair. I've heard the running shoes do not hold up as well as their other shoes, but I do not have personal experience with them. Enjoy!

I've owned a bunch of Allbirds over the years and love seeing more and more styles come out. Knowing you don't have to wear socks with them is awesome, as is being able to clean them in the washing machine. They do dry quickly but the wool isn't the thickest so most pairs I've had start wearing on the soles and sides faster than Nikes or New Balance sneaks, getting pilly. Older styles used to literally tear in the toe area but that quality control issue seems to have been fixed. Just something to keep in mind!
