Bought a pair of wool runners a few months ago, and they're easily the most comfortable shoes I've ever owned. Usually wear them sockless or with no-show liners. They look great and I love that you can wash them. Would definitely recommend.
These shoes hurt my feet after wearing for 30 minutes. Tried several times thinking I just needed to get used to them, but each time my foot pain increased. Tried to return them but Allbird would not accept a return because I was 13 days outside their return window. The shoes were barely worn and in very good shape. The best they would do is offer a $10 credit for shoes I bought for $135. Expensive lesson.
The woolen Mizzle is warm and waterproof but not buying again as sole is dangerously slippery. Advertised as having good grip. Incorrect
Tip for consumers:
Check material of all components. Sole important

I'm a size 7.5 and originally ordered a size 8 (since they say to go up a size if a half size). The 8's were too large and after requesting an exchange and waiting about another week for it to show up, it finally did. Not only did they send me the wrong product, they sent me the wrong size. (A woman's size 11)
When contacting customer support it took a couple of days to get back to me, but then they asked me questions such as:
(1) Does that item match the description on the outside of the box?
(2) Confirm the address as well as the item(s) you were hoping to receive. As soon as you confirm we will expedite a replacement to you right away.
(3) We will email a prepaid return label to you once you confirm the information above. Print out the return label, and tape it over the current label on the box you received. No additional paperwork necessary.
(4) You can drop the box off at your local FedEx or USPS at your earliest convenience
NOTE: How am I supposed to know the type of shoe that was sent to me? I don't know their full product line. I just know that it wasn't what I ordered. Also, I do not have a printer (who under the age of 50 does?!) so after answering all of their questions I asked if they could send me another QR code.
I finally just asked them for a return because if the 7.5 didn't fit, I didn't want to have to drive all the way to a FedEx or USPS location to start the process all over again.
Last but not least, when I finally returned it today I received an email saying that a refund was on the way. I did not get fully reimbursed for the full amount that I paid, because the return was for the product minus shipping costs.
Overall, this was just a really bad customer experience, and I will never go through them again.
Cool website and cool products. Ai visited this store some time ago at that time all we're looking good and nice to me
Bottom part is not cleaned well even with the washmachine and bottom is getting ruined easily because of the material. Pictures after washed!
Satisfied with their service and website. I can recommend them. And agree with other positive comment here
The 8 was too small, the nine way too big. I Would have liked to have these shoes, but the sizing just isn't right.
Till not understand how to work...

Allbirds is been a nice company and is incredible, I am using it and its outstanding. I will recommend it to you. Thankss
I was excited to get my first pair of Allbirds- the Mizzles toppers. Made in the US, eco friendly and, I'd hoped, not your average comfort shoe looks like clown shoe' style (I'm 5'6" and wear a size 9-9 1/2- clown shoes happen!). I'm also in the last year of my 40's, and needed a good walking shoe that could be worn to work. I order, shoes come in, I put them on and swear (out loud, my office is cool that way), it feels like the blasted arch support is on the OUTSIDE of my foot. Walk a bit and it feels like they really want my tootsies to pronate. The arch, unfortunately, felt nothing- alone and unsupported. So, I go to the website and ask the chat function what's up. The response is short and basically came down to everyone's feet are different, you can return them using this link.' I then asked if there was another arch support choice and after a hello, is this thing on' few minutes- get a yeah, you can use another insole. Apparently they are not the ones who supply said alternate insole. At what amounts to $149, I'm neither impressed with the shoe nor, the website and whoever was on the other side of the chat. I'm not sure if I'll try another insole or just send them back. After reading real reviews (rather than the glowing 5 stars only you see on their site) I'm not entirely confident I won't be put some cash here if I do send them back. I guess we'll see. I've tried numerous other brands and never felt the weird lump on the outside of the foot- it's generally too much or too little under the arch and a made in China tag. These are sadly not supportive IRL as their net hype would have you believe. It's a bummer, I hope they work it out- having a good eco friendly made in US shoe would be great. These are just not the ones.
I think for allbirds, it really depends on the product. This review would have been a 5 if they accepted returns on everything in the first 30 days, but they only do it for their shoes. Huge plus that they sell new insoles for $15, though.
The Socks: They run smaller than the website recommends. I should have fit their M based on their size chart, but it turns out I'm a Large. Once you have opened the packaging to find that out, they are non-refundable/non-exchangable. I called to ask since the sizing being wrong is really their fault, and they said no exchanges/returns for socks. Within a month, there were holes and wear marks all over the socks. Wouldn't buy them again, even in the right size.
The everyday sneakers: Weird fitting! I don't have particularly strange feet, but I could see the outlines of my toes very clearly through the shoes. Like the tops don't have enough height on them in the toe box area. They accepted the return with no questions.
The running shoes: REALLY love my running shoes from allbirds, and recommend them to anyone who asks! I'm usually a 9.5/10, and found that I had to exchange the 9.5s for a 10. While they felt right while trying on at first, my toes on my left foot kept falling asleep after a few miles of running (NEVER had that happen before haha but the 10s did not have that problem). They have held up for their first 4 months, with signs that they need to get replaced pretty soon (I run 5 miles 3-4 times a week; 4 months is a pretty regular interval for me).
The flats: LOVE them! I wear them 2-3 times a week and they are holding up great. I will say, they are a great cute shoe for walking around mildly for short periods, but they will cause chaffing on my back ankle if I walk to far in them. Great comfy going out shoes. Also, if you need arch support, these really are NOT the shoes for you.
Aside from the poor quality shoes for the price - I don't normally get smelly feet, but after wearing allbirds even on a cool day my feet are swimming in sweat and absolutely stink - allbirds has been rated as low as fast fashion companies such as ASOS for their shoddy business practices.
An excerpt from Remake's recent report:
"AllBirds continues to disappoint, scoring low across all assessment categories, but notably earning zero points for Traceability, Commercial Practices, Raw Materials and Governance. The few points it has managed to muster have only been awarded for disclosing a Supplier Code of Conduct, using minimal packaging that is FSC Certified and FSC Recycled Certified, as well as for their resale program, AllBirds ReRun.
Aside from these few positive developments, the company has fallen severely behind in its supply chain, environmental and corporate governance disclosures. Equally inadequate are its emissions, water and chemical reduction targets — the latter two of which appear to be in rudimentary form. While AllBirds states that it is 100% carbon neutral, this achievement is largely attributed to the purchase of carbon credits, which by no means absolves the company from responsibility for the emissions it continues to produce as a result of both its own operations and those which occur along the supply chain.
It is also worth noting that AllBirds has no formal animal welfare policy, an especially concerning fact given one of the company's primary materials is wool. With a reputation for greenwashing and an obvious ambition to scale its business, AllBirds can hardly be called a sustainable brand if it fails to meet even the most basic levels of transparency."
TLDR this company is not even the least bit sustainable and the shoes are sh*t and overpriced anyway

Vrry good just made purchase snd everything is amazing
High recommended to all the user. Really HAPPY
There is a reason why AllBirds is in such trouble. I purchased two pairs a few years ago. Within months and with. Minimal light wear the first layer of wool in the shoe disintegrated on the inside and a hole was imminent on both pair. I wrote AB months later when I found the shoes in my closet and was annoyed and they told me it was too late for a refund, return or troubleshooting...despite the fact this was an issue with their product I have a lot of causal and athletic shoes ranging from Nikes, Clarks, Merrells and Converse and never had them fall apart so quickly. Recently (four years later) I pulled out the shoes and wear them for taking the trash out, running to the curb etc. And I got angrier and angrier that these $100 shoes fell apart so quickly. I'd even joined the AB consumer panel b/c I'd hoped to help them improve and I was rooting for an eco company despite getting screwed by them. A colleague noticed my new looking shoes with holes and told he'd had the same problem.I did a google search and wow-these are bad products...the internet overflows with stories about wool and tree runners in the last years and how terrible the company is So I decided to write them again. The rep asked me for a LOT of information including photos. I did all of this. I then got a long note back saying they couldn't do anything because of the time that had passed, that the shoes wear differently for different people. And they had the nerve to say that some AB employees buy new shoes every few months as if this was a solution available to most people. I was really taken aback. This was an utter "Let them eat cake" moment and exactly what you would expect from a company that is so out of touch as AB...I believe companies should stand behind their products and if something is defective and falling apart within a year with very light wear at such a high price point, and its happening to a customer who is clearly taking the time to lay out full details, is rooting for you and sharing loads of customer data the company should fix it. A $100+ pair of shoes should last more than a year. When I responded that a manager would be good they said they'd take the feedback and hope that next time around they could help. Well, there's not going to be a next time. I will never buy a pair and I will make sure I share my experience far and wide. At some point you need to listen to your customers. This is an awful company with an awful product. Just do a google search.
Tip for consumers:
Beware of Allbirds. Do a search first.

I was so excited when my Albirds arrived. A breathable shoe made of natural, sustainable components - it sounded like a dream come true.
Myth 1: You won't need socks
Truth 1: I have never had a more smelly foot in my entire life than during the 20-some days of wearing the shoe without socks. It does not breathe as promised, so your feet get more sweaty all throughout the day... So, with all due respect, you do need to wear a clean pair of socks with there shoes unless you want to grow a gross bacteria farm on your feet.
Myth 2: Most comfortable shoe in the world
Truth 2: This is the only shoe that I have ever gave me a blister/sore from regular use over such a short period of time. I did not run a marathon. I did not go on a hike. I just used the shoes during the week while working at the office, and it was a painful experience... I tried to make it work by putting medical tape over my heel, which is where the very rough edge inside the shoe had rubbed off my skin.
Myth 3: No negative reviews means that it is a great shoe
Truth 3: Allbirds does not sell through regular channels, such as on Amazon. There is no convenient way to leave an honest review. I literally had to go a site called SiteJabber to leave a review - what about having a place on the Allbirds website where people can leave their reviews, whether they be positive or not positive? What about honesty?... On YouTube and other avenues, some people have kindly taken the time to share their thoughts, and it is a mixed bag. On popular blogs, reviews are shared with affiliate links - those reviews are, of course, all butterflies and rainbows.
It seems that Allbirds is not about actually supplying quality products. Instead, they go to great lengths to use sustainable materials to create, well... a garbage shoe. I got mine refunded. Yet I wonder how many people had a similar experience to my own and who just did not want to take the time to send them back. Or who felt guilting about returning a shoe that is supposedly so wonderful, or so the website claims.
The customer service team was very helpful in getting the return taken care of, but then again, I was only returning the shoe because it was absolutely nothing as described. Perhaps Allbirds is not in the business of selling shoes, but in the business of charging a premium for a shoe product that doesn't work and then controlling the narrative so that only a few people want to do a return. Is that really selling a shoe, or selling a lie?
Todas las compras han sido satisfactorias, y no he tenido problemas con su seguimiento. Lo recomiendo
