At $179, beats Zerogrand on quality, comfort, and durability—the dress shoe worth buying this year.
- 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.
Why we rate them this way
The Best Allbirds — /10
Amberjack Shoe — 9/10
At $179, beats Zerogrand on quality, comfort, and durability—the dress shoe worth buying this year.
What we liked: 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..
Worth knowing: The comfort is where these shoes really deliver, but durability is questionable after extended daily wear..
