Double Layered: Wool blended upper includes a water-resistant layer to keep feet dry and a rain-repellent outer shield to seal the deal.

Strategic Overlays: Reinforced toe and heel add extra protection for puddles that run deep.

  • Remove laces and insoles.
  • Place shoes in a delicates bag (pro tip: a pillowcase works too).
  • Choose a gentle cycle with cold water & mild detergent.
  • Shake out any excess water & set aside to air dry.
  • Shoes will regain their original shape with one or two wears.

Out of the box comfortable

"My new favourite model - would have bought a second pair but they’re now out of stock. Warm, strong, cosy and comfortable! Love them."

Maria (5/5)

Trendy and so comfortable

"First time purchasing Allbirds, and I am very impressed. Super comfortable, but trendy enough to wear to replace some Adidas casuals. Look great! The back ankle tab rubbed initially but is wearing in. Slightly wider width than I had anticipated but I have a slim foot, but great with thicker socks. Really excited to finally have a pair!"

Anne B. (5/5)

Love these All Birds. Spotted

"Love these All Birds. Spotted them on someone else on the ferry and she told me how good they were. So I got some They look good and are so comfortable."

Susan M. (5/5)

Still slipping on surfaces

"Exceptionally comfy, but definitely not slip-proof. I bought these for our rainy winters and to avoid slipping on surfaces like my usual AllBirds - only to discover my old sneakers and boots have a better grip."

Claire (2/5)

Slippery, preferred my Couriers

"I bought these as I really loved the fit/comfort of my allbirds 'couriers,' and have worn them to bits. The path to get to my house is super slippery, and I thought that the tread on these might help. Sadly they seem to have less traction than my old shoes, which are nearly worn smooth. They're like bladeless ice skates. I'm even having trouble on my university's lino-covered stairs. PROS: I didn't have to break these in - they were comfy from the start. They are definitely more waterproof than the couriers, which is nice. They look nice and go with a range of casual to formal(ish) outfits. A bit more waterproof than my other sneakers. CONS: Aforementioned lack of traction. Not much movement in the sole, which is almost platform-y. They feel kinda plastic, which to be fair is probably just to do with the waterproofing. Slightly less comfy than the couriers. NEUTRAL: The fit on these is also different to the couriers - they feel narrower or longer perhaps. Overall they're not BAD shoes, they're just kind of awkwardly in-between street sneakers and hiking shoes, but don't really do either job that well. Maybe they'd be a good skate shoe? Sorry team, I wanted to love these, but they're just not my jam."

Imojen (3/5)

Colour leeching onto socks

"Great shoe very disappointed that the black die is staining all my white socks though!"

Pam G. (4/5)

Could be a little softer

"Could be a little softer on the inside. Otherwise they're great"

Pearl B. (4/5)

They are perfect, pair number

"They are perfect, pair number 3"
