Allbird Junkie
I no longer count my pairs of Allbirds. Let’s just say I’m set for most color matches. I play a lot of golf and find I’m never without an outfit match. My moto is “ Dress well and play the best you can”
Years ago I was featured as “ The Top Realtor who sports tennis shoes”. Wish I had Allbirds then. I would have even have been more Top to Toe successful.

Always Great
I’ve had numerous pairs of Allbirds beginning in the very early years. I’ve bought all materials and several different styles from flats to running shoes. Every single pair has been so comfortable that I keep coming back. Plus they are eco-friendly. I love these shoes.
They're Just Bad Shoes?
First, on the shoes. I've owned 2 pairs, and they don't take light use well. The soles wear out quickly, most are thin, wear down to nothing in a few months of consistent use (smooth enough to be dangerous, really). The laces have broken on both, but I just kept tying them? I don't feel like there was much structure to the frame when wearing, but it's the greenwashing that's my real qualm.
You'd help the environment, save money, and get better shoes if you just thrifted some for 15 bucks, and donated the 50+ rest to carbon offsets (likely more than they donate to begin with?). This is what I've begun to do, having been unable to find sufficiently "sustainable" shoes in modern clothing.
What I was truly hoping for was a cradle to cradle shoe business where they would take accountability for the end life of their product (known as cradle to cradle, as opposed to cradle to grave). Had high hopes for their recycling program that was advertised, but I've worn my shoes out, and no dice. After 3 months, don't even feel good donating them. I simply regret advertising them.
Positives are that the little holes you use to lace up are easy to use! Older people seem to enjoy them for comfortable arch support (which granted I know nothing about?), but again I worry about how quickly the soles wear down because I would slip on concrete after a couple months.

Deb Rand , Maine
I already bought another pair, I have 2 pairs of grey wool for cold Maine weather. Also bought and haven’t worn the Emeral Green high top and white flats and purple slip Ins.
I’m ok for the time being.
I really need boots!!! Snow up here gets pretty cold. Lined boots and nothing slippery when I’m walking on slippery snow + ice.
God Bless.😋

Love these shoes!!
The most comfortable, durable shoes I’ve ever owned! I’ve been wearing these shoes for years and I love them more with every pair I purchase. I recently had a total knee replacement and my therapist and doctor were very impressed with the quality and support they provided and said they will recommend to other patients.
