    Today we check out how the Allbirds Wool Runners have held up over the past 4 years. I've been a long time supporter of Allbirds and have worn them almost daily for the past couple of years. They are just as comfortable as they claim and are great for hiking, light jogging, and almost any activity.. I even use these for sports (although traction isn't great). If you'd like to give them a try, use my referral link below to get a FREE pair of underwear (just add them to your cart) with any purchase over $125:

    Keep in mind they want you to try them out.. so buy them, hike in them, get 'em muddy, and return them if you don't like them. You can't really beat a return policy like that.

      Wow 😭 thanks so much! I put a lot of effort into this one by purchasing lighting, a gimbal, shooting b-roll, etc. So it really means a lot! Got super busy with work recently so I had to put CZcams on the back burner for a little bit unfortunately

    The first All Birds review I have seen that is so informative. Thank you! Also, when you dry them, you should stuff cotton balls (or dryer balls) for the top (or entire body) of the shoes to not shrink. It actually works :)

      @@MrCoalcracker79 I love them they are so comfortable. I've washed them once and it did affect the water resistance a little but it's still good :) they are good for running but not for hiking on rocks or trees but I can still do it haha mine dont have very good grip on the bottom. They're the ankle high ones. All in all I will be buying these for the rest of my days

    I’ve had the wool loungers for almost three years now and I love them. My only two issues;
    1. theres a small hole worn on the inside where my big toes are
    2. the upper lining inside the shoe has separated from the wool layer. Sometimes the layers fold funny when I slip the shoe on without extra attention. It’s a bit cumbersome but willing to deal with it for how comfortable the shoe is.
    They’ve lasted surprisingly long. I love being able to just throw them in the washing machine and do it often.
    I just bought the wool pipers in lichen and I’m so excited for it to arrive. Hopefully the pipers don’t have the same lining separation problem.

    • @CarterShaffer
      @CarterShaffer  Před 3 lety

      Great long term feedback! The shoes that I have also have some flaws after 4-5 years but I have no regrets buying them!

      @CarterShaffer  Před 3 lety

      Much appreciated man! I agree that they should go a little bolder with future designs. However, their focus is obviously on simple and sustainable sneakers

  • @epiedra99
    @epiedra99 Před 3 lety

    Nice informative video! So what specific shoe do you recommend for an old dude of 50 that likes to wear cargo shorts way too often? Lastly, if I’m 10 1/2 do I size up or down! Thanks buddy!

    • @CarterShaffer
      @CarterShaffer  Před 3 lety +2

      Thanks for the compliment! I’d recommend going with a pair of boat shoes if you’re wearing cargo shorts. If you want maximum comfort then these AllBirds Wool Runners or even the Tree Dashers (video coming in a few days) would be a great option. The Tree Dashers will have better support if that’s a priority for you. As for me, I’m a 12.5 and I sized down to a size 12 perfectly

  • @EnchantedMystery1
    @EnchantedMystery1 Před 3 lety

    Would you say that these are good for wide feet? I want to get a pair for my grandpa (the slip ons), because he keeps hurting his back from tying his shoes. He has wider feet, so I want to be able to make sure that they are a good fit.

    • @CarterShaffer
      @CarterShaffer  Před 3 lety

      That’s a great idea. While I haven’t worn the slip ons, I have fairly wide feet and these fit me well. I genuinely can’t think of a reason these wouldn’t fit a foot even wider than mine. Please let me know if you get these for him!

    How do they hold up being washed? Also would it be possible for you to review their new running trainer?

    • @CarterShaffer
      @CarterShaffer  Před 3 lety

      They hold up fantastic. I got mine really dirty and washed them and they literally look brand new. Washed them about 4 times in total and they're great! Also, I am filming a review of the new running shoes "Tree Dashers" right now so be on the lookout for that!

    What is the minimum temperature in which you can wear these?

    • @CarterShaffer
      @CarterShaffer  Před 3 lety

      I would be comfortable wearing these in any temperature. Just not ideal for rain since they're wool.

    • @HeidiWruck
      @HeidiWruck Před 3 lety

      They're actually perfect for the rain because of the Merino wool. Merino is water resistant. Sorry video guy you need to do your research better.

  • @symmetricalastic
    @symmetricalastic Před měsícem

    I tried the ones with wool and the tree runners without wool insoles. I do not find the ones with wool comfortable at all. They hurt my feet. The ones without wool I find extremely comfortable. In my opinion hokas are the most comfortable shoes in the world. I also would never put shoes in the washing machine even if they say you can

    • @CarterShaffer
      @CarterShaffer  Před 14 dny

      My two cents: The old Allbirds Wool Runners were fantastic and very comfortable. I did receive a pair of the new ones (Wool Runner 2's) and they hurt my feet because they are too tight and the back heel is at a weird angle. I have also experienced pilling of the wool lining in the new ones. It's a shame but I think I like the old ones better. As for the tree runners, I'm a HUGE fan and they're probably my most worn shoe. No complaints here. I do put my shoes in the washing machine but just make sure they're tied up in a pillow case or something to prevent them bouncing around too much.

    $100 for shoes isnt bad at all. buying Adidas Ultraboosts are around double that and arent waterproof.
    If they hold up to water and the PNW rain, then sounds like a deal to me.
