Product Summary
Allbirds’ Men’s Wool Runner is a stylish, responsibly-sourced athletic shoe best suited for walking, cooler weather, and everyday wear. Inherently, the Merino wool upper is thermoregulating so it helps to keep your feet warm on cooler days while providing a soft, cozy, and comfortable feel. The cushioned midsole, SweetFoam, is built with a sugarcane-based green material, providing a contoured fit. Finally, the Men’s Wool Runner features recycled laces made from 100% post-consumer recycled polyester.
Several users report that these sneakers take a good amount of time to break in but are very comfortable thereafter. Those with wider feet may not find them as comfortable as they reportedly run narrow.
