| Pros |
- Maintains Allbirds comfort despite thicker construction
- Water-resistant protection for winter drizzle and puddles
- Temperature-regulating merino wool
- Can be worn without socks
- Better winter versatility than original Wool Runners
|
- The Wool Runner is an absolute 10/10 for comfort and casual wear. Everything else they've made is always a little bit of a trade-off from that.
- They offered incredible comfort, especially for someone like me who struggles with plantar fasciitis.
- I've worn the new Wool Runners NZs for 3 months and they're the best shoes yet. I wear them everywhere.
- I was shocked when I got them, expecting them to be garbage. The sole has less forefoot cushioning but they feel like similar shoes to the NZs.
|
| Cons |
- Slightly less comfortable than original Wool Runners
- Water-resistant only, not waterproof—won't handle heavy snow
- High-top style (Runner Up) looks unflattering
- Dasher Mid version looks bulky with sock extension
|
- This is why I will NEVER buy shoes that use naked foam cushioning as a sole. You really can't complain about short lifespan.
