I bought some of these for £90 and I'm not that impressed with them tbh.
Where they come into their own is they are very warm (I guess that's the wool) and they're also small and flexible, not bulky. So that's great for January/February when it's pretty cold. But for walking and so on and hotter weather, I'm not sure, and if it rains on them they're going to be way worse than Nike or normal trainers for example.
Anyone else got the woollen ones?

They are just fad shoes with poor foot support and not great longetivity. I ended up with a pair kind of by chance and was glad to not have paid for them. Comfortable at first but very quickly lost support from upper and foam is not very supportive. Maybe if I had desk job they would be good but I walk around all day.
You could get some equivalent shoes made by New Balance or Sketchers for about 1/3 of the price on Amazon.
Agree, not impressed.
I "splurged" on them for Christmas for my 15-year old daughter. She did not like them, so I offered them up to my college daughter, she passed, and then my 13 year old passed as well.
My wife, however, is wearing them and likes them, but definitely missing the mark with Gen Z and teens.

That's actually what I'm going to do.
I will wear the Allbirds for when I'm not going on a walk or just for casual/sitting around, so I'll probably keep them for a few years and get a lot of wear out of them. I don't like wasting money so I will use them and not throw them away, but not for walking.
I bought 2 very nice looking pairs (all black and all greyish blue) that I wear in place of dress shoes. They are much more comfortable than all other dress shoes. When compared to running shoes, they are much less comfortable, but I haven’t ever found a pair of running shoes that I could wear to work.
