Pros
  • They started out comfortable and have become even more comfortable after they wore in after a few weeks. Great shoe and great value.
  • I'd give them 8/10 overall. Comfort-wise, they're solid out of the box — that sneaker-like feel is definitely noticeable.
  • The heat-activated arch support and memory foam insole make a noticeable difference compared to other dress shoes.
  • I own 2 pairs – love them. A little spendy but solid quality. Great on the feet.
  • Featherbed dual-density insole feels like a personal foot massage
  • Breathable TENCEL tree-fiber upper keeps feet light and airy
  • Machine-washable and sustainably made (wool, tree fiber, sugarcane SweetFoam)
  • Refined fit with updated underfoot contour
  • Roomier, sturdier upper than the original Tree Runner
Cons
  • The comfort is where these shoes really deliver, but durability is questionable after extended daily wear.
  • Haven't personally tested the Wool Runner NZ yet
  • Very similar to existing Tree Runner Go — hard to tell apart at a glance
  • Tree Runner NZ ride is less bouncy than the Go version
