This review is for the Allbirds Sugar Sliders.
Allbirds' shoes aren't really my jam. Cool product and mission, but the style isn't for me. That being said, I was on the hunt for a comfy, "non-plasticy" slider, that didn't look half bad and Allbirds was the first brand that came to mind. And boy am I happy that the crew over at Allbirds decided to branch out of runners.
These bad boys are comfy with a capital C. I wear them primarily in our home, which has concrete floors. I was getting bouts of plantar fasciitis (foot pain) every morning and a week after I started to wear these, it immediately went away. The adjustability of these puppies is a big positive too as I've got wide feet. Sizing can be a bit tricky, since they only come in full sizes. I rock a 10.5 Nike shoe, and went with a 10 in the sliders and still have some room.
Finally, as someone who gives a shit about our planet, the fact that the product is made of a material that is carbon negative is cool. That and the unboxing experience was genuinely refreshing. A simple, brown paper box. No tissue paper. No pamphlets telling me about how awesome the product is. Love it.
Keep making products like these and you can take my money all day Allbirds.
Feedback
Sizing was tough as there isn't an Allbrids in our city, but you should open one in Detroit 😘. Maybe make your sizing relative to other shoe brands or have some sort of sizing tool that helps compare how the product fits
Update: The area where the strap loops through the base of the sandal broke. Customer Service was very prompt to respond and within a couple of days of me sending them a picture of the issue, Allbirds sent me a new pair. The material of the new pair feels* like it's a bit firmer and they have already out lasted the previous pair
