Comfort is the signature of this revolutionary shoe. Allbirds are lightweight and breathable, but the all-wool construction makes the soles to-die-for soft (you don’t even have to wear socks!), easy to slip on and off without unlacing, and temperature controlled (cool when it’s hot and warm when it’s cold on the plane). Wool easily wicks moisture away from your feet, and you can toss these sneakers in the wash when they’ve been well worn. This is a great choice for the earth-conscious sneaker lover.
