Amberjack Sneakers vs Allbirds: Which Is Better?

Amberjack Sneakers — /10

What we liked: The leather quality on these is genuinely impressive for the price. Feels like a $300+ sneaker at half the cost., Most comfortable leather sneaker I've worn. The cushioning rivals my running shoes but looks 10x better., Clean enough for the office, comfortable enough for all-day walking. Finally one shoe that does both..

Worth knowing: The white leather shows scuffs easily. You'll need a leather cleaner within the first month., Runs slightly large — had to exchange for a half size down. Their sizing guide wasn't accurate for me..

Allbirds — 10/10

Machine-washable, sustainable, and incredibly comfortable—Allbirds is our answer for a lifetime shoe brand.

What we liked: 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..

Worth knowing: This is why I will NEVER buy shoes that use naked foam cushioning as a sole. You really can't complain about short lifespan..
