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.

  • The look is now dated but these are still the comfiest walking to work shoes ever Also high key I tried the running shoe and really love it - super supportive

    Great shoes love that I can put them in the washing machine

  • I own a pair of all bird running shoes. I love how high quality they are I have owned these shoes for over two years and they are still going strong. I am not a huge fan of the wool but there are other options when buying all birds so I would just say be aware that the wool shoes tend to keep your feet very warm.

  • I love my all birds. I’m on my second pair. I bought a pair for my mom and dad as well. They are so comfortable, breathable and cute. I love that they are sustainable as well. Their styles are super cute as well. The most comfortable pair of shoes that I own.

  • I have a pair of the wool running shoes.

    Very light, but the build is off for me. The sole is too dense and the upper doesn’t have enough structure. Kind of comfortable, but not a functional shoe.

  • I love my Allbirds! I have the Wool Runners and they're fun, comfortable, and most of all I can wear them all day without any foot or sole pain. It's an added bonus that they're machine washable. I was really nervous of these being too hot due to the wool, but I haven't ran into any sweaty feet problems.

  • I've tried two different types of allbirds. The first just didn't work for me and the second pair is ok, but not my favorite shoe. I think they fit some people better than others. Even though I got the right size they slip off at the heel for me. I do love the company's ethics.

  • My favorite shoes! I work in healthcare and where these every day. They may not be the best for 12 hour shifts, but anything less, they work really well. Sustainably made, and they hold up really well too.

  • The kids shoes are great. Besides the price tag, I love this brand for my son. They fit him great and are easy on/ off. For kids shoes they are quite pricey compared to other brands.

  • My all birds are so comfortable, the wool is warm in the winter and breathes in the summer. The were a little small at first but stretched out.

  • Do utlimately love my Allbirds. Had some defect issues but the support was great. A more expensive shoe for sure, but not outrageous. Lasts max 2 years.

  • Love these shoes. Super breathable and love that I can throw in the wash.

    Check out all their styles. Not all of them are made of wool.

  • So I actually had two pairs of Allbirds. Their original one and the high top one. The original was very comfortable but a hole formed at the toe area after a couple of years. But I like the comfort of the shoe a lot so I purchase another one, the high top. That one unfortunately just did not fit my foot. It was kinda awkward and uncomfortable to wear. In the end it's just sitting in the closet. I'll take it out for a quick walk for errands, but nothing longer.

  • They are very fantastic shoes and would be 5 stars if they just were more accurate in their sizing. I usually wear a size 11 in every other shoe but go to a 12 in Allbirds. Ordering online required a return and a new order which was simple. I think they could also decrease the price by about 10-15%.

    More accurate sizing and a little cheaper.

  • Had to size up but easy returns made it a painless experience.

  • Super comfortable and wide-foot friendly! I appreciate that you can remove the insoles for a less crowded feel (I did that) and they still feel bouncy and supported. I wear them for my daily walks and to/from fitness classes. Would love to see more styles and colorways.

  • Look cute but there isn't enough arch support. Whenever I would wear them, my feet would be hurting at the end of the day.

  • I have a pair of the basic white sneakers and they are amazing. They're super comfortable. They're easy to clean and go with everything. They do look like Mom sneakers but it's OK. I am a mom 😅

    Would love more styles and colors. Amazing product!

  • When they say it's like walking on clouds - they are not wrong. I love all my Allbirds and continue to share them with more people and get them to purchase their own pairs (or I gift them). Love that they're washable because I can feel confident wearing my white sneakers, knowing that I can easily clean them should anything get them dirty! Great travel shoe, walking shoe, everyday-life-doing shoe.

  • My go to fitness shoe. Wool with waterproof coating perfect for my Vancouver climate. Super comfy out of the box, no need to break in. Had for almost 3 years and still in good condition except for the soles beginning to separate from the wool but nothing some glue can’t fix. Love the designs and ethical nature.
