Finding a comfortable, affordable and well-made sneaker can be difficult, but sustainably made is near impossible. Allbirds creators toiled away on its merino wool product made entirely from natural materials, creating the ultimate environmentally friendly, comfortable sneaker.

Unlike other running and walking shoes, Allbirds are completely free of logos and detailing. The design aesthetic is simple, minimalist and versatile. With seasonal and classic colors rotating with the season, customers can mix and match for $95 a pair.

 

These sneakers are made from super-fine merino wool from New Zealand and spun in Italian textile mills to create Allbirds fabric. The super-soft wool is credited to making the sneakers lightweight, flexible, moisture wicking, machine washable and weather adaptable.

Allbirds Wool Runners keep feet cool in the heat and warm in the cold and are naturally odor repellent. The merino fabric also conforms to the user’s foot, making each pair feel custom-made.

 

Each aspect of the shoe is eco-friendly, from the lightweight sole and cushy insole to the packaging of the shoes. In addition to being so soft runners can go without socks, Allbirds sneakers leave half the carbon footprint of other brands.
