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.

  • This is one of my favourite shoe brands around, highly recommend. I love what they are doing as a brand, but also love the comfort of the shoes too. I'll keep buying from Allbirds for sure.

  • The shoes hurt my feet, they did not last in my closet long.

    Feedback

    They support. My feet would hurt after wearing because there wasn’t good support.

  • These are my go-to shoes for every-day-life. I have a pair myself and continue to buy more styles and colors as they continue to be the most comfortable shoes I have ever put on. I have flat, wide feet and these fit perfectly to me. I love these! Definitely worth the money!

  • My boyfriend and I both own multiple pairs of these shoes is various colors and in limited edition styles. They are waterproof, comfortable, and come in a wide range of colors and styles. Perfect for traveling and daily wear.

    Feedback

    Currently not my go to sneaker if I know I’m going to be working out — but perfect for daily wear and traveling

  • I own two pairs of All birds myself and my husband has two pairs as well. I have wool runners and slip-on wool shoes as well. The slip ons are beyond comfy and are a go-to pair for me! My wool runners have held up well over the years as well. The material feels good quality.

  • Genuinely some of the comfiest shoes I’ve ever owned. These are great for casual or extreme walking days!

  • Love my Allbirds, I've been wearing my Allbirds for almost a year now and they are my favorite shoes to throw on due to their comfort.

  • I own a few pies of allbirds and I LOVE them! They are lightweight, machine washable and super minimalist. I love the variety of textures, looks and colors available.

    Some fabrics really trap in heat, which can make the shoe very smelly. Might help to have more choices that include very thin or airy materials to get rid of the scent

  • I've owned a pair of their Women Wool Runners (an Everyday Sneaker) in an older limited edition color for a while now. These shoes live up to everything the company promises to deliver and quickly became a favorite everyday shoe to put on. Their dedication to sustainability is a big plus! My father was gifted a pair of the Men's version and he wears them even more than I do. They're durable and provide long lasting comfort while still offering a simple yet stylish look. My concern going in was that the wool fabric would be too warm for my feet but it actually provides a great climate for your foot in warmer or colder weather, not to mention they don't stretch out anymore than a regular pair of sneakers/tennis shoes would over time. I'm already looking at buying another pair but may go after their running shoes this time as I'm excited to try something new from Allbirds.

    I would really like to see Allbirds go for a more innovative streetwear styles. This can be a big ask for companies so geared towards sustainability though so I don't view it as a major detractor. I can tell they are making an effort to head in that direction with some of their newer shoe designs but overall, they haven't managed to evolve all that much since they first hit the streets.

  • I spilled something on my shoes within months of buying and was never able to get off, would not recommend.

  • Very comfortable for everyday wear. Easy to wash and style with multiple types of outfits. Would not recommend for running.

  • I don't care that this is not the most stylish shoe a tech CEO should wear in order to look acceptable by European fashion standards - this show is the most comfortable. Our lives are short, don't torture yourself in other shoes.

  • These are so comfy! Best shoes I've ever purchased.

    Feedback

    My black looks more navy than dark black but honestly they are so comfy I just look past that.

  • Have two pairs, both of them are excellent.

    Feedback

    No notes, highly comfortable and look good for many occasions.

  • Amazing lightweight athletic shoes! I wore my Allbirds tree dashers to a week in disneyworld, Disneyland, and other various travels. They were PERFECT! If they can last a week’s worth of walking and standing at disneyworld, they’re worth every penny!

    Feedback

    I would love to see some more bright color options on the shoes!

  • I like them, I have a wool pair and a mesh pair. I’m not dying to get rid of all my other shoes and replace them with Allbirds though

  • Comfy! Wore them all day in Disneyworld and my feet felt amazing. 14+ miles

  • Gave these shoes as a gift. Extremely comfortable. Great walking show.

    Feedback

    None.

  • Very Comfortable and aesthetic pleasing. The sole is still a bit stiff. But my favorite is still adidas.

    Feedback

    less hard soles.

  • I've been buying Allbirds for years now, and absolutely love them. They are the perfect shoe for walking around or even just lounging around the house. They are super comfortable, stylish, and have tons of color options.

    Arch support is the only thing I wish they did a little better.
