Allbirds Men’s Wool Runner, Everyday Sneakers, Machine Washable Shoe Made with Natural Materials

I really enjoyed these shoes. They are now getting to end of life. Every time I wear them I am surprised at how comfortable they are. I wore them for 2 weeks straight on a long vacation with a ton of walking. No regrets. One caution is that they do not have the deepest tread. So don’t expect them to be hikers. And obviously they are not waterproof.

I just had to share my thoughts on the Allbirds Men's Wool Runners because they've seriously changed the sneaker game for me. First off, let's talk about comfort – it's like walking on clouds. I've never felt anything quite like the softness of the New Zealand Merino wool they use. It's breathable too, so no sweaty feet even after a long day. Now, I'm all about sustainability, and these kicks totally get it right. The fact that they're made from eco-friendly materials and the whole manufacturing process is carbon-neutral just makes me feel good about rocking them. Plus, the minimalist design is right up my alley – simple, versatile, and stylish. Oh, did I mention they're machine washable? Game-changer. No more stressing about keeping them pristine. Whether I'm hitting the pavement for a run or just strolling around town, these Wool Runners have become my go-to. Highly recommend giving your feet the treat they deserve!

I picked up three pairs of All Birds shoes to try out the different fits, and I’m glad I was able to have them all side-by-side to compare them directly. Each is very unique in its fit and personality. Here was my experience with each: Tree Runner - https://amzn.to/4e3PFy6 Where the OG Wool runners have a fair break-in period, these tree runners are a completely different concept with generous stretch out of the box. Realistically these will fit roughly the same from day one as year one, although the insoles will settle a little bit. The look seems very versatile and may fill in well for the OG wool runners as a slightly different look while still offering that balance between dress and casual. These are pretty great, though once-more, the upper band is tight on my foot and I think this pairs best with moderate to low volume feet. Wool Runner - https://amzn.to/4vAIoNu This OG shoe sure is attractive. The initial feel is plush, sweater-like and overall quite comfortable with a semi-flat insole. The stitching at the midfoot (base of laces) is a bit tight though after a week's use, they are starting to stretch a bit. This isn’t comfortable per-se but it is acceptable. Another mild issue is the tongue which seems to curl on the sides and can create some discomfort to the sides of your upper foot. The attractive stitched eyelets also work against the comfort adding more unwanted volume. Positive aspects are the general feel (everything but the mid upper portion), beautiful look and balance for dress and casual use. This does run a bit hot, so be prepared for that. As a whole, this shoe works well for moderate to low volume feet, and does accommodate moderate width with its generous toe box. Wool Runner Go - https://amzn.to/4vwOTAW This “GO” variant is supposed to offer a greater volume but many (including myself) find it actually offers significantly less, specifically the upper is way too tight over the mid foot. The width and length is ample, super comfortable in that aspect. The arch is also more supportive and very comfortable. However, as a result of the higher arch, it pushes up your foot amplifying the tight upper problem. This might be a good option for people with more petite feet. Didn’t work for me at all. It’s quite strange since it is apparently designed to offer more room over the OG runners, but it does the opposite. Hope that helps in your comparative search!

Love the shoes. The wool is not hot like I was afraid of. I have rather large, wide feet. I normally wear an 11 and these were a little tight the first couple of wears. But I think I have stretched them a little, so it's not uncomfortable. It was the top of my foot that was the most uncomfortable. These shoes have more structure than you would assume a "wool shoe" would. The only other thing to watch out for is dog hair - we have two dogs and I have had to lint roll my shoes multiple times. I do not have that problem with most other shoes.

Boyfriend loves them and said they are most comfy. I have a pair in womans and love them too. All birds is worth the money. He uses these for walking and they work well for him. The color is great too and seems to be holding up nicely these past few months. The size fits great and they are perfect for different feet type it seems. Arch support is really great!

These shoes are comfortable, they hold up well, and the price seemed reasonable. I know there are a lot more competitors in this category now, but I have stuck with Allbirds.

These shoes are lightweight and flexible. The outer fabric is nice and breathable. And it seems like it wouldn't have enough grip due to the tread pattern but I have not had an issue walking indoors on tile. The disappointment is the way the tongue is stitched together. It has rough edges that are overlapped and you need to adjust them to get it to feel comfortable. I would have given it five stars but the way it's designed it hurts the top of my feet during long periods of using them. I run a size 10 so I ordered that and they fit just fine. I also feel that these are expensive for the type of product it is. I assume you're just paying for the name. There are better products on the market. The style is okay, they seem to resemble older shoes.

My son loves them and he has 3 pairs of other styles. Very comfortable.. I read they run big so I ordered sz 10 instead of his regular size 10.5..perfect fit

I bought 3 shoes with the same size , but this item is too tight.

They don't make half sizes which essentially eliminates half the customers who want to buy their shoes. I wear 11.5 and as suggested I ordered a 12. Too big and too wide. They look ok but I was expecting a little nicer for the price point. Will be returning and not reordering.
