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.
AI summary based on Thingtesting reviews
I purchased a pair of flats and was really excited to use them for work. They were AMAZING for the first month. Then, I could see my red nail polish peeking through the woven texture of the top of the navy blue shoes. I washed them according to the instructions and it did not help the smell. I was so in love with these shoes for about a month.
Feedback
Maybe there’s a better way to clean them? Or better way to word the instructions? They ended up being really low quality in the end which was sad.
I have a pair of the wool running shoes and they are so comfortable. I love my allbirds for a walk in the morning or just standing all day at the pharmacy but the only thing I noticed about allbirds was that it has a pretty narrow toe box and when I first tried it on, it was a little tight at the top. I also love that the company is sustainable.
Feedback
I recommend making a shoe for people with wider feet since it’s better and more comfortable for toes to be able to spread and properly support the body.

I have a pair of their normal wool runners and a pair of their wool loungers. The loungers are simply amazing and I wore them for two years straight during COVID. Comfiest shoes ever and I love that you can just throw them in the wash. One time my husband spilled ketchup on his brand news ones and the ketchup wiped right off?! It was amazing. Love allbirds!!
Feedback
If your big toe is really long it will probably make the fabric of the shoe stick out and eventually wear a hole through the shoe. I haven’t had that problem but that would be my only word of caution
Very comfortable and super easy to throw in the wash. The tree runners are great for the summer because they are super breathable. Highly recommend it for casual walkers but not for people who are on their feet all day.
Feedback
They have no arch support.

I absolutely LOVE the look and feel of these. Super comfortable BUT sizing just didn’t work for me. I wear a size 10 women. The 10 is just too short and 11 is too big. I wish they had 1/2 sizes. Sadly I can’t wear them.
Feedback
Please offer 1/2 sizes.

Comfortable, lightweight. Great quality and value
Feedback
Sizes run slightly small.
Allbirds are fairly comfortable and I like that they are machine washable.
Feedback
I wish they came out with half sizes.
I got a pair of their wool runners and they are unlike any sneaker I’ve owned! They are so comfy and the sizing guide was perfect! Also on their website is caring instructions!!! Just for those who are like me and super messy!
Comfortable but not the hype that the startup culture wants you to think it is
Feedback
They are actually hot all the time

These are super comfy and I like that you can wash them with other wool items. However, after a while, they kinda lose shape. They are fine but they feel a little loose and are not good for running after that point because the foot slips around.
Literally don’t get it … I ended up returning my pair as what I didn’t take into account was the flannel material is a MAGNET to my STUNNING English Bulldogs fur … they were coated after 2 wears. I also didn’t find them supportive HOWEVER I have a high arch and am a neutral running shoe wearer so take that for what it’s worth
When I first got the shoes I was so excited. I was like omg eco friendly nice sneakers. They were fine for a few month but then I noticed after wearing them for like over 5 minutes my feet would begin to hurt so bad like my arches were aching. I didn't think much of it until I wore a different shoe and that didn't happen. So I never wore those shoes again and my feet never hurt again

improve longevity of the sole
Very comfortable, easy to slip on and off, washes really well.

Shoes deform over time.
Great products, most comfortable shoes I’ve ever worn
Feedback
Need better color variety - should stick to core SKUs as well
I've been buying this brand for over four years now since they launched their first collection. Great products that last a long time and even better after throwing it in the wash. It is our household's dominant footwear brand, and my husband has started buying their clothing too.
Very comfortable shoes for walking but don’t think it’s as supportive for running!
Comfortable but very flat toe. My yellow sneakers got dirty very quickly and didn't wash well.
I've owned my classic gray Allbirds for over 5 years and they are just the coziest. Washable and very lightweight, they're perfect for everyday errands!
I've had a pair of Allbirds (wool runners) for about 4 years now, and they are good looking, hold their shape, and are super easy to clean. They're a great beater (daily) sneaker, with a no-frills style that can be perfect depending on your outfit. Their recent collaboration with Adidas was super cool, and while I missed out on a pair, I am so happy to see sustainability at the forefront of shoe design.
Feedback
My only drawbacks are that they aren't the most comfortable shoes in the world, and some of the designs color-wise are a bit odd.

I have two pairs and I love them! I like the tree material- don't own any of the wool.
Feedback
Only thing I'd say is for runners to have a wide option- had to return bc they were too narrow
