Customer Reviews Allbirds Wool Runner

The wool runners I bought a couple years ago were the best. These are OK

Expected more

Super comfortable, but not quality build. I went in one run 3 miles on pavement and they started to tear at the seems. Good shoe for walking around but the name wool runner is overstated.

Not bad. Laces are short, so tough to get a tight tie. Comfortable shoe for casual wear. I wouldn't call these running shoes as fabric doesn't give the best support around the ankles compared to a more rigid fabric found with most running shoes.

I work on my feet and after a few days of waling on these shoes for 8 hours the foam feels flat and doesn't offer a lot of support. Good looking shoe, but won't last long for me.

Love the feel of the shoe except the width midsole is not sufficient for me.

They look really good out of the store but don't seem to hold up too well. The fabric of the shoe gets creases and the support in the shoe already appears to be wearing down. Felt great at first but does not hold up.

The shoes look fine and are super comfortable. The downside of the shoe is that they pull my socks down every time I wear the shoes.

I have had two pair of the wool runners. absolutely love the look and they are very comfortable. love you can wear them with or without socks. My main issue, and the reason i am hesitant to purchase another pair, is that the grooves on the soles are EXTREMELY shallow which causes these shoes to become worn out very quickly. Once they start to wear out, good luck having any sort of traction.

The lower portion of the shoe is very soft and comfy, but the upper part is very thin, the consequence of this is that trying to get the laces tight enough to stabilize the shoe will also hurt the top of your feet as time goes on

No support. Comfy around the house. But not for walking, working or being on your feet all day..

The shoes are very comfortable but the tongue curls under on the sides when trying to put them on.

Excellent material and I loved the dabble grey color. I'm even more impressed with the environmental impact. What makes me hesitate is the sizing and the style. 10 was too small and I didn't like slipping around inside an 11. I would have overlooked the sizing but ultimately the style didn't look right on me either. It's a bit too techie and I felt untrue to myself. I ended up returning this shoe. I wouldn't have reviewed this until I got an automatic email asking for a review. So here I am.

The shoe was comfy everywhere except for how tight it was around the front part of my foot.

Run small hopefully they stretch out some

Not as comfortable as I had hoped.

Not as comfortable as my first pair.

Love the look and comfort of these shoes, but I'm finding that the sole is pretty worn down already after just a couple weeks.

Overall happy, but the fit seems bigger for the same size I have ordered before.

Impossible to keep clean, but very comfortable

Bought one of the originals when they first started to get advertised here in the US. Still have them and they are great. Bought a new pair at the same size but the sole was bigger than my last pair. My toes were pretty far from the tip of the shoes and they felt too big. I exchanged them for the next size down and the sole size now matches my older pair, and my feet fit perfectly in length, however the fabric is super tight now and the laces are shorter so I can barely tie a simple knot. I'm currently trying to break them in and get them to loosen up a bit but it takes a few long wears of slight discomfort to get to that point.

Disclaimer: I was asked to purchase for a work event. I would not have selected these shoes otherwise. There is not much support, and no arch in the sole. The material is a magnet for dust, and pet hair. They are not visually appealing.

Not a fan of the gray sole

Difficult to put on, due to the outside edges of the tongue turn under.

Was so excited to gift these to my husband! Sadly, the shoe was just too narrow for his usually average-width feet :( While it's a great looking shoe, appeared to be well made, the width made this a no-go. Was disappointed to find that alternate sizing was not offered. The laces were also Very short. His feet are definitely not wide or large, so I don't believe this was a factor in the lace size, but I could be wrong. I don't want to '1-Star' the review because it really is a nice shoe made sustainably. Just doesn't seem to be made for All. Maybe more tailored toward a trim, athletic foot? Hopefully in the future, more sizes will be available with longer laces. We will be waiting!
