Allbirds - Dressy Yet Comfortable Walking Shoe

Super lightweight, super comfy right out of the box. Some of the most comfortable shoes I've owned. Bought them for massive walking on a trip to Disney, and they passed with flying colors comfort wise. The insane comfort did translate to a bit of a loose feeling, I wouldn't wear them working out. When it poured, they soaked up the rain and got heavy and stiff and lost most of the comfort. They did dry quickly over night with airflow though. They're also very comfortable without socks, although I'd only use them like that sparingly to save on wear and smell. Unfortunately what I'm most disappointed in was I ordered black, the box said black, but I was sent some kind of light blue, and had no time to exchange because of the Disney trip.

Best casual and workplace shoe ever?
25 September 2023

First, it only two me 40 years to find out - from an REI store rep - that I have been wearing shoes a size too small (try on shoes with right socks and at end of day). Equipped with that new insight, I bought a pair of Altra trail runners and now, Allbirds Men's Tree Runners in all black.I had been looking for months for a new approach to traditional dress shoes for the workplace (office, trade shows, etc.). I tried black New Balance shoes, ON walking shoes. They were either too stiff, or too flimsy for my now very sensitive feet as I aged. We will see how the Allbirds work out, but after buying a pair based on reviews and trying them on for the first time, I will say they feel really nice and are perfect for a comfortable workplace shoe.

Comfortable n light

The shoe is comfortable and more compliant especially on the top than a rival brand SKxx. The lightness is good and compatible with other name brands. In other words the toes are less restrictive and breathe more freely than other polyester/nylon material tops. The only thing I am concern about is the maintenance of the cleanliness/appearance due to the absorbine nature of Smartwool. I did spray protective silicone spray to give it better protection but we will see. So far I am enjoying this new purchase.After using the shoes for 2 months from going grocery shopping and going to the malls, it worked real well. However, there are some black marks on the shoes and the light color is ironed to be stained. I would get a darker colored pair next time.

Good… when on sale
5 December 2022

Despite being an often repeated shoe style which can be found at all sorts of price ranges, many of which cheaper than these, the Allbirds do feel better built, with more attention paid to the finishing touches. Some of the alternative materials they’re using sound interesting and while I do think that’s worth something price wise, I do struggle a bit with the value proposition of this shoe at full price, as it’s getting up there into specialized trail running territory while being a pretty casual, non technical shoe. When on sale I think these are at least a compelling option.A few more physical observations: if you have a lot of upper foot ‘volume’ these will likely feel a bit too snug with the stock insole. Without the insole it fits much comfier, and sockless ... MoreDespite being an often repeated shoe style which can be found at all sorts of price ranges, many of which cheaper than these, the Allbirds do feel better built, with more attention paid to the finishing touches.

Without the insole it fits much comfier, and sockless with the insole is borderline, which is a shame as I quite like the material and feel of the stock insole. And as a reminder, these have essentially no to very little tread so they will be slippery. Length wise for my size it was spot on. No issues there.

Lousy.
6 November 2022

Can’t believe I spent over $100 for a pair of shoes so poorly fitting. Allbirds mens shoes don’t come in half sizes above 9.5. I wear a 10.5, as one foot is slightly larger than a 10. The 10 was tight on one foot so I bought the 11. Way too big for both feet. Comfort? Padded but no arch support. Pulled out the removable insole and put in orthotic insoles instead. Shoes still too large to wear comfortably. Purchased the shoes 3 days before going out of town for 3 weeks, so ran out of time to return within the 30 day return period. If you have a flat foot and can wear a men’s even size 10 or above with no modifications, then these shoes may work for you. If not, then don’t bother.

I don’t really care they are made from eucalyptus trees and all the feel good marketing nonsense- I just want decent comfortable shoes I can wear for 10 hours without thinking about my feet and the fit or comfort of my shoes. I spent all day on my feet working. Think 20,000+ steps in 10 hours. So I’m back to Cole Haan and Merrills. Disappointing.

My foot rolled out too much
7 May 2023

With my custom orthotics these made my foot feel like it was rolling outward too much( underpronating?) . I need a more neutral, supportive fit. Also, I found these 10M's to be tighter across the top of the foot with my bulky orthotics, more so than other 10Ms of different brands.I sent them back and I already saw the refund on my Credit card so that's a pro. And the customer service were very pleasant; the return process was a breeze. Another positive is that they were a nice looking, all-black shoe. I was hoping to be able to have finally found a decent looking shoe to pass as professional, without all the insignias and ugly extraneous details ie stripes etc that sneakers have, and they needed to be stretch fabric and not stiff heavy leather. I have all kinds of ... MoreWith my custom orthotics these made my foot feel like it was rolling outward too much( underpronating?) . I need a more neutral, supportive fit.

I have all kinds of back and foot issues; what can I say, I'm needy. If I could find this unicorn of a shoe I could one day return to work at a job on my feet. Sadly, these attractive and light Allbirds could not work for me but they might work for you.

Nice Shoes, I'm Impressed!!
28 October 2022

I originally got these shoes for the purpose of being a comfortable, casual shoe to wear in an office work environment. I decided to go with the Tree Runners as I wanted something that would feel breathable throughout the day. These shoes are pretty light and have great flex, making them really nice to walk in. I have a habit of being on my toes a lot, so it's really nice that these shoes flex easily. My feet are pretty wide, but the stretchy material also makes these shoes comfortable to wear. Normally I wear a size 9.5, and since I like to have a little wiggle room for my toes, I decided to get a size 10. For me, they fit just right.Although I have worn other shoes that are more comfortable than these All Birds, those other shoes tend to have too much of a ... MoreI originally got these shoes for the purpose of being a comfortable, casual shoe to wear in an office work environment.

Whereas these shoes have a minimalistic design and silhouette.Overall, I'm happy with my purchase! I would definitely look into getting another pair in a different color!

Not a five star yet.
4 April 2023

I did a lot of research on which shoes were the most comfortable. Allbirds were always among those listed in any research I compiled. So I decided to purchase a pair, since my feet deserve it. A few things that I liked about the shoe without having worn it. I liked the simplistic design and lines of the shoe. They remind me of a more refined pair of topsider boat deck shoes I owned many years ago. I liked the color (blue) coupled with the white soles. The material looks rugged but breathable. I was intrigued by the type of material (bamboo) the shoe was made with. I thought these shoes could be just as easily worn in a business casual environment, taking the dog for a walk, or on vacation. After the shoes arrived they looked very much in person like I envisioned ... MoreI did a lot of research on which shoes were the most comfortable.

I liked the simplistic design and lines of the shoe. They remind me of a more refined pair of topsider boat deck shoes I owned many years ago. I liked the color (blue) coupled with the white soles. The material looks rugged but breathable. I was intrigued by the type of material (bamboo) the shoe was made with. I thought these shoes could be just as easily worn in a business casual environment, taking the dog for a walk, or on vacation. After the shoes arrived they looked very much in person like I envisioned them by their photos. By all estimates these are a solid well made shoe. Because the comfort factor was my primary reason for buying these shoes I was interested to try them on. The first thing I noticed was that the tongue of the shoe is actually connected to the shoe sidewall. There is an elastic action to the tongue relative to its sidewall when you pull the tongue upwards when sliding you foot into the footbed. I have big feet and when sliding my foot into the shoe I noticed immediately that when pulling up the tongue my toes would hit the connective parts of the tongue that affix to the sidewalls. I had to learn to not pull up so hard on the tongue to get my foot into the shoe. Once my foot was in the shoe it felt good, however, I have since learned that the shoe material is naturally elastic and doesn’t need or require that the shoe laces be tied tight. This is my first caution to other buyers. I found the compressive nature of the tongue on the top of my foot to be uncomfortable particularly when I have laced up the shoes with any tension. I don’t consider my foot to be high arched or sit tall, but I did notice a bit of discomfort after wearing the shoe for an extended period. I would compare the discomfort to when a shoe might hit your foot in a place and start to develop a hot spot. Many of the reviews I read leading up to buying this shoe left me with the impression that the sole bed and comfort of this shoe was unmatched and it would feel like walking on a cloud. While this shoe is comfortable in terms of its footbed and support, I feel as though it may suffer a bit in reality from its own reputation. This is not an uncomfortable shoe but it is also not the most comfortable shoe I have ever worn. So my second caution to buyers is moderate any cloud like expectations around the comfort of the shoe. Another observation I am trying to still assess is the sensation that the material this shoe has heat wicking properties. I received this shoe in the winter and after wearing it a few times outdoors in brisk weather I felt as though my feet felt cold. Now this could be a great benefit during hot weather. My third caution to buyers is that these shoes run cold. Last, having worn these shoes for a couple of months I have noticed that the stretchable fabric on the top side of the shoe is starting to mold to the shape of my toes under the fabric. My concern here is that the spot where my big toe touches the fabric is likely to wear out first. Time will tell. Overall I find this to be an nice looking shoe that is versatile enough to be worn in multiple settings, that is comfortable but not cloud like comfortable, that it could be improved in its design of the tongue to not place so much pressure down on the top of my foot.
