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.

  • between my husband and I we own like 10 pairs. They last forever, are extremely comfortable, and the ONLY shoe I would consider wearing on a day where you walk like crazy (disneyland, nyc, etc)

  • Only certain shoes and colors look good. The material is nice, but I got a pair of black allbirds and they don't look stylish.

  • Great shoes. Have been wearing pretty much only Allbirds for the past 4-5 years!

  • I bought the All Birds Women's Tree Flyers - Lux Pink (Blizzard Sole) when they were newly launched last August. What made me try them? I was on the hunt for a new gym shoe and was tired of the name-brand shoes which felt pricey and heavy for my foot. My colleagues at the time walked into our office wearing this shoe and raved about its comfort so I wanted to give it a go. I went into their store and tried several pairs and colors. I liked the feel. What did I like more? I was able to test them in the gym the next day and for 30 days and could return them if they were not for me. So far, I haven't. I will say because of how the shoes are made; it might take your feet more than 2-3 tries to get used to them. I found them comfy and nice to do walks in the city and also exercise. I washed them for the first time as it says the shoes can be washed in the machine and it worked well to keep the shoes looking pretty new.

    One thing I recommend is to try all the variations of the shoes available for running and share what your needs and problems are with the shop assistant to get the right one. Definitely recommend trying the shoe in-store so you can get this attention and explanation.

  • theyre light weight breathable and very easy too clean.

    Sale or special offer
  • As comfortable as they say they are.

    For my own personal taste, I'd love some more design options, because the current design can look kind of outdated in a way (I'm talking about the waterproof wool model, which is the one I had tried for a particularly rainy trip). Other than that, they're perfect.

  • great shoe, very comfortable. breathable. bought some for my father, he is notoriously hard to please but he loved these shoes and even asked for a bother pair.

  • I bought two pairs for my older parents. My dad loves them, and they supported my mom pretty well when we were walking around Manhattan. Well made, and they've reported no issues to me.

  • The wool sneakers are great! Comfortable, soft and supportive.

  • Once I had them I didn't like them as much. Tech bro connotations and naturally warmer than other sneakers given the wool fabric so they were too warm for the summer

  • Comfy everyday shoes! I wear them more than I expected!

    Feedback

    Only downfall is that they don’t come in half sizes.

  • Obsessed with my allbirds! I have the grey and white ones and they're super comfortable.

  • Love allbirds! Perfect shoes for every occasion, professional or not. Shoes are super comfortable and really work well for everyday wear. Plus, they have great customer service!

    Feedback

    Lots of people say you can wear Allbirds shoes without socks, but I don't know how true that is. Yes, you can wash the shoes themselves, but I found the process of washing to be tedious if too frequent. I would recommend wearing socks and washing maybe once every two months or so.

  • Have not been to excited about the wool runners but bought my first pair of Tree dashers (v.1) and think they are extremely comfy and perfect for travel!

    Feedback

    Think it sits at a reasonable price and with the company focusing on both impact and performance I think it's a fair buy

  • I really love my shoes! They are great to throw on with any outfit for a long day on my feet. Almost feel like slippers but super minimal and cute.

    Feedback

    Because these are made of wool they get very very hot

  • Best shoe i’ve ever owned, i use them for almost anything without fear of dirt or odour. whenever i wreck them, i pop them in the washing machine and they’re just like new…outstanding! mega comfy, great for running, love them.

  • Truly my favorite shoe of all time. I have multiple pairs across a variety of styles, they are some of the most comfortable shoe you can wear. And despite being made of wool, they last a long time (only just now replacing my first pair of wool runners 4 years after purchasing).

    Feedback

    They just launched a plant leather shoe, which is great but I wish had a waterproof coating or something. I would love a leather boot from them!

  • While I enjoyed these shoes, I don’t think they were the best fit for me. I am between a 6 and a 7. After reading the reviews, I went with the 6. After a few wears I decided they were just too small for me. I do love that they are machine washable!

    Feedback

    Ease of measurement, maybe half-sizes for those who are in between sizes
