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.

  • SO comfortable. I got a pair of white ones (definitely on me) and they were really difficult to wash up. Fast delivery and for real the most comfortable shoes I've ever worn.

  • Love the shoes - incredibly comfortable. But I wish they lasted a little longer.

  • i love it! i have women’s canvas pacers and it’s become my everyday shoe. this shoe is the perfect mix between casual and comfy and it looks amazing! i definitely won’t be switching to another brand anytime soon

  • These are my airport shoes and errand running shoes. They are super comfortable on the feet. They are washable. However, they are not easy to get fully clean. One time i forgot my hiking shoes and had to wear these on the trail and they got completely destroyed. I tried to wash them several times and they never went back to looking white.

  • I absolutely adore Allbirds shoes! From the moment I slipped them on, I felt like I was walking on clouds. The merino wool material is incredibly soft and breathable, keeping my feet comfortable all day long. I've had a couple different pairs of them and like that they're stylish and versatile so I can wear them to work or to brunch. I also like that the company has a commitment to sustainability which makes me feel good about supporting them.

  • Love my All Birds! Sometimes I forget about them in my closet, but when I find them again and out then on I always wonder why I don’t wear them all the time. They are so comfortable and durable!

  • I have a pair of tree sneakers. They’re light, breathable, and extremely comfortable. My only complaint is they didn’t wash as nicely as I expected following the directions. I would love it if this brand offered a larger toe box!

  • Nice comfortable shoes but the tread wears out pretty quickly and it’s expensive for a shoe that only lasts a few months

  • When I first discovered Allbirds shoes, I was captivated by their commitment to sustainability and their sleek design. I eagerly made a purchase, hoping to find a pair of shoes that would not only align with my values but also stand the test of time. Unfortunately, my experience with the durability of Allbirds shoes has left me disappointed. Shortly after wearing the shoes, I started noticing signs of wear and tear. Within a few months, holes began to appear, and the shoes looked noticeably worn out. To my dismay, even before reaching the one-year mark, the shoes had several tiny holes, compromising their overall quality. While I still admire the brand's ethos and what it stands for, the lack of longevity in their shoes has left me hesitant to make another purchase. The sustainability aspect is commendable, but durability is equally important, especially when investing in a pair of shoes.

  • I love the overall comfort and style of the shoe as well as the range of colors. I’ve had them for about two years and the fabric is staring to thin where my big toe is. I believe a hole will appear soon, so be aware if that has happened to you in the past with other shoes. I wear them all the time and have trekked around amusement parks with them so maybe it’s not a surprise!

  • Hype hype hype! Not in style anymore, and overplayed with too many options for colors and similar style shoes.

  • On my third pair they are very comfortable and versatile! Love them

  • These are the lightest softest shoes ever! So comfortable and no rubbing even from first try. I could not fault these if I tried, like wearing clouds 😊

  • I’ve loved and worn the brand since 2018. My favorite shoes are the tree runners - I’ve worn them into the ground multiple times. They are the most comfortable shoe I’ve ever owned and can be worn without socks. Definitely recommend!

  • Not my personal experience but a friends, I know that a ton of tech bros wear these shoes but maybe they’re into something. My friend bought the waterproof pair 3 years ago and let me tell you he has worn them EVERYWHERE and they’re still trucking along. Super durable and can be a great multipurpose/travel shoe.
