TL;DR Allbirds ($98–$160) rate 10/10 for everyday comfort and are our daily driver — but almost every model is NOT waterproof (the Mizzles are the lone exception).

TL;DR — We’ve worn Rothy’s for 4+ years across their Points, Sneakers, and Mary Janes, and we keep buying them. At $145–$165, the recycled-bottle construction and machine-washability genuinely deliver — just size up half a step. The only sting: when a design flaw hit, they offered $30 off a replacement instead of fixing it. Rothy’s …

Most people who land here are deciding between the Tree Dasher and the Tree Runner — jump straight to that answer below. WeTried.it is reader-supported. When you …
TL;DR — The Allbirds Wool Runner 2 fixes the two real complaints about the original: the deflating toe box is gone and the new SweetFoam® sole is noticeably more cushioned. Same price as the Wool Runner 1, same ZQ Merino wool — if you already love Allbirds, this is the obvious upgrade; if you’re new …
