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.

  • Pretty comfortable, like the mission, but it's not really my style

  • I absolutely love my allbirds, as does my partner. My partner must have at least 10 pairs of allbirds, whereas I have 3 but I'm on my second pair of my favourite - the Tree Runners in all black. They are incredibly comfortable, and while they are a bit pricey, they last forever and I can comfortably say they saved my feet during 10 hour days running around at my work. I love the Tree Runners, I don't really love any of the other kinds, but my partner has wool ones, dashers, runners, and the loungers and loves them all. I can't speak to any of the female clothing items they now offer, but the males t-shirts are incredibly soft.

    They hardly ever hold sales, and the price tag is definitely a deterrent for many.

  • Extraordinarily comfortable shoes. Don't 100% love the look and feel, but that's a personal problem. Wool ones run a little hot sometimes, but I love my tree runners year round. They don't last the longest (started to get holes after about a year of medium-to-heavy use) vs the other sneaker brands I wear/rotate

  • These are some of the comfiest shoes I’ve tried! A lot of different options, some of the patterns aren’t that appealing however.

    Cooler colors/patterns

  • Love my all birds. They are comfy and supportive for daily wear as an active person. I feel like these shoes have stood the test of time and many washes in the machine. My only concern is the wool starts to pill after repeated use.

  • I’m not exactly a sneaker head, but I prefer them over any shoe and allbirds delivers a one-of-a-kind model — a sockless shoe?! My gray wool runners are my grab-n-go go-tos!

    Feedback

    After a while the sneakers do hurt the feet and tend to be narrow towards the toes.

  • Cute, like the brand, love the stores, but the shoes wear out way faster than your average Nike or Adidas walking shoe. They're best for people with wider feet.

  • love these shoes! great look and awesome for people with wider feet! holds up really well!

  • I would love my allbirds and have 0 complaints, except that mine gave me a blister when I went without socks. A little pair of ankle socks solves that problem & they look great!

    Feedback

    A little more room in the back of the ankle

  • I like the feel of Allbirds and have a pair, but they really don't hold up in the wash after a while. For $100 dollar shoes, I expected better. They also get dirty really easily.

    Feedback

    I love the concept and want to support. Hoping future iterations continue to be more durable in the wash and hold their shape/look longer.

  • I got a pair of Allbirds for my first trip abroad. I knew I'd be doing a lot of walking and all the reviews I saw pointed to these as the go-to sneaker for fashion and functionality. To be honest, I did not feel like I got a lot of support from them, and my feet were still really achy after all the walking. I also washed them afterward and they really never looked quite that great, even though the company boasts easy-to-clean fabric. Overall, though, the shoes were cute and I think the company has a great mission!

    Improved arch support, easy-to-clean materials

  • I’ve tried two different models. Both of them were not comfortable. I don’t get the hype. I think they are actually pretty unattractive. I love that they are sustainable and that they have the 90 day try on period. It was really nice for me bc I was not happy with their shoes so I’m glad I was able to return them even after wearing them. I tried the running shoe and it wasn’t for me. No cushion at all and felt very heavy.

  • Such great shoes! I've had mine for over 4 years, and it's like they're brand new still. They're super easy to clean, and easy to wear. Not really sold on their sustainability, but that's on me for also not researching further.

  • Obsessed with these! I love that I can put them in the wash to clean and they are externally comfortable!

    I’d love a special wash to make the white whiter.

  • My husband only wears Allbirds. I myself own a pair. They’re very comfortable and extremely durable. Their stores are also very well designed.

  • I bought the wool runners in grey wool a few years ago. They've held up really well and are extremely comfortable. Customer support was helpful when I had questions about my size. Back then, the colour range was limited. It looks like AllBirds has expanded the colour range since, however.

    The new apparel looks very comfortable, but very like other athleisure brands. I was tempted to try their underwear but 17euros a thong is steep price point.

  • I love my Allbirds! I'm literally wearing the same white pair as in the main photo. The wool fabric is soft and warm but not stifling, and the foam insole is super comfortable. Plus, they are machine washable. I got a pair of wool slip-ons that I literally wore out. I also own a pair of slip-ons in the summer fabric, but I don't like that as much as the wool. The company also has a great return policy, too. Highly recommended.
