Why We Love It

Allbirds claims to be the most comfortable shoe in the world. While we’re always skeptical of such bold marketing statements, after actually wearing them, we have to agree. The second our testers tried these on, they noticed a unique plushness that cradles the foot like the precious baby it is.

Some said it felt like walking on clouds (which we’re pretty sure they’ve never done) or wearing slippers (which we should all be doing more). You can count on these shoes to keep your feet happy, no matter how long you’re on them.

These are everyday sneakers, so they’re not for hiking, workouts, or intense running. They’re ideal for people who spend a lot of time on their feet or enjoy long walks on even terrain (like city sidewalks). They offer more arch support than your typical casual sneaker (e.g., Converse or Vans) and won’t give you those dreaded breaking-in blisters. Wool Runners are meant to be worn while strolling around the park, standing at work, or walk-running to your next appointment. They’re about to be your go-to shoe — and they match everything.

Wool Runners are made with lush merino wool that’s soft, breathable, and moisture-wicking. Unlike a wool sweater, you can wear these in the summer without overheating or getting itchy. You don’t even need to wear socks if you don’t want to! For those who hate socks but have stinky feet, don’t worry: Allbirds are machine-washable. Just remove the laces, pop them in the washing machine and wash on cold, air-dry, and you’re back in business.

Comfort aside, Allbirds says its manufacturing process is environmentally conscious. One plastic bottle goes into the production of each pair of shoelaces. There’s castor oil in the insoles, and the shoeboxes are made with 90% recycled cardboard. Even the wool is ethically sourced: Allbirds works with organizations like ZQ to ensure its wool comes from happy sheep and says its process uses 60% less energy than typical synthetic sneaker manufacturing.

Allbirds Wool Runners come in natural, neutral colors like olive, gray, and white; more vibrant colors, like lavender; and limited-edition colors, like teal. The monochrome style avoids  visible logos and bright flourishes, making it a subtle choice that works for casual events. That said, these are not exactly “fashion” sneakers. Most testers said they wouldn’t wear them with a dress, but they do look great with a pair of jeans. They’re a sleek but casual option meant for everyday use.

Wool Runners don’t run in half-sizes, but have no fear: This handy guide will help you find your correct size, and the flexible wool stretches and tightens for a great fit. None of our testers had trouble ordering the right size on the first try — but if you do, Allbirds offers a 30-day trial and simple returns.

Allbirds are a great choice for environmentally conscious people looking for a simple and elegant sneaker that doesn’t make a loud statement. If you’re sick of getting blisters every time you wear a new pair of sneakers, consider Wool Runners to be the answer to your feet’s prayers.
