Allbirds

"Well-organized store with plenty of seating room and the entire Allbirds lineup displayed. There’s a lot of staff waiting to help out; for us, Maria was very professional and answered a ton of questions! It really helped our selection process."

"After having several strangers stop and ask me about my allbirds, I thought a review might be helpful. My husband loves them, me not so much. My husband has cold, dry, but smelly feet and wears new balance, adidas, Skechers. He loved his first pair, got a second one and will continue to purchase allbirds. He thinks they are comfortable, keep his feet warm, and likes the way they look. The dark grey wool mizzles in the pic are 1 yr and 2 yrs old. The white ones are 1 yr old. The soles are pretty durable. The color does fade noticeably from the dark grey, they become pale in areas as they get worn. I have very sweaty but non smelly feet (odd combination I know), and favor Asics Cumulus/Nimbus, Nike, salomon. I find allbirds not anywhere near as comfortable as my Asics, but more comfortable than dress shoes. So if you are tired of wearing sneakers everywhere and don't want to wear dress shoes, these are somewhat aesthetically pleasing if you like the sweater academic look. I think they lack arch support, much like converse. The biggest issue I have that no one seems to mention is the smell and lack of absorbency. When I have been wearing these for more than half an hour, they become very wet inside, and I start smelling eau de sheep. Our smartwool socks never smell, but we have some wool products that still smell like the animal it came from, including these allbirds. We see reviews for how great these are for sockless wear, but we both wear ours with socks, so we couldn't say how they would be barefoot. Recommend going to the Palo Alto store to see them, try them on, then order online. If you do, go early! We went on a Sunday around 11 am, and it took over an hour for us to get a couple of pairs due to wait time, and having to flag down/grab staff to get our sizes. Online order delivery process is seamless and packaging is sturdy."

"It was my first time at the store and very impressed with the layout, spacious and customer service. I just wish they have more of the limited edition colors at the store."

"Brand new Allbirds store opened in July 2021 - their mirrors are shaped like feet & clouds, plus has unique wooden seats. The store had a modern feel with eco friendly vibes! I received a gift but not in the style I wanted. No problem, the friendly staff found the email address of the person who mailed me the gift and made the exchange instantly. The smoothness of the exchange without a receipt was a great surprise."
