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

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.

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!

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.

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!
