Me, and everyone I know, bought Allbirds for their parents this past Christmas. I'd say that's a real win for the company. 👟👞👟👞
whats so good about allbirds, for the uninitiated?
Supposedly, the comfiest shoe in the world.
I haven't tried anything other than regular running shoes, but compared to them, the wool Allbirds are like a pillow.
Hi! Is being made from trees a good thing? Paper is made from trees, and it’s kind of frowned upon.
I think with shoes it's the carbon footprint you leave behind, because most shoe manufacturers use a lot of chemicals to make shoes.
fair enough, it’s not a criticism, just a question. I think the use of the word “tree” gives off a sort of, “we chopped down this tree to make you some sustainable shoes,” and it comes off as a bit ironic.
cutting down trees for paper is actually not that bad. The companies set up fields and replant trees when they are done so that when they finish with the last field the 1st field is ready to be cut again.
Did anyone else’s wool loungers stretch out really badly, or just me 🤷‍♂️😢
It's funny that this is in the Tech category on PH 😄
It's the official shoe of techies in SF haha
Hopefully they last longer than the wool versions.
How long did yours last? I wore my first pair all day for 13 months (with socks).
About 3 or 4 months, hand washed my grey runners and they split, my black runners are so loose they look like ill-fitting socks, and i don't wear my loungers enough for them to stretch out so they're in the best shape out of any of them - pic here: ft
I have never washed them, as I wear my Allbirds with socks; but very good to note that for the future. Did the company send you a new pair?
Im unclear about the allbirds hype - they are so incredibly ugly.
I personally love the design (of the wool runners)
hmmm interesting - just personal preference I guess ...I'm looking forward to trying Atoms shoes.
What is the price?
Hunter
All styles are $95 per pair
Love Allbirds! I just wish they had made the Tree Runners in the natural black color that the loungers are offered in. :p
I currently own two pairs of the wool runners (one in classic gray and one in Midnight Blue through Outdoor Voices). I love the general idea, but recycled wood would've been even better. As for the shoe design, I am not a fan of the mesh look on the wood runners.
I am all for any sustainable fashion development. The amount of environmental destruction attributable to shoes and apparel is appalling. Thank you All Birds.
