Were you looking for more of a sandal than a sneaker? Well, here you go! If you're the kind of person who constantly crushes the back of your kicks, these are definitely the shoe for you.

Rave Review: "These shoes are very comfortable and the top comes close enough to the ankle so you do not get the 'flip-flop' effect. The metallic color goes with anything. I found them to be true to size."

Tree Dashers

People absolutely RAVE about Allbirds—especially how soft and comfy they are. The ultra light-weight shoe can also be worn without socks, which is a plus, IMO.

Rave Review: "Bought these at the last minute before a two week hiking trip in Europe to be my airport/city walking/recovery shoes (after hiking all day) and am really happy with the purchase. The perfect shoes to slip on while running errands or commuting, and great for the airport as they slip on and off so easily. They fit my feet perfectly and have lots of cushion. Company has kind of a nice vibe too—I will definitely be buying more shoes from them."
