We’ve dialed up weather-readiness and comfiness in the same shoe. Don’t be fooled by its polished exterior; this tough style can handle its fair share of puddles. Our Runner-up Protect has a carbon footprint of 8.51 kg CO2e. Learn more about carbon footprint labeling and our commitments to reduce our impact.

Best For: Braving the cold, the wet, and the unpredictable.

Double Layered: Wool blended upper includes a water-resistant layer to keep feet dry and a rain-repellent outer shield to seal the deal.

Strategic Overlays: Reinforced toe and heel add extra protection for puddles that run deep.

Sustainable Materials:

  • Upper blend made with Responsible Wool Standard-certified wool, reflecting the highest ethical animal treatment and farming standards

  • SweetFoam® midsole made with sugarcane-based green EVA

  • Natural rubber full-length outsole

Where It’s Made: Vietnam. Learn more about our operations

Allbirds fit true to size for most customers. If you have wide feet or prefer a roomier fit to accommodate toe splay, we suggest going up a half size. For extra wide feet, go up a whole size.

Did you know that our shoes are actually unisex? You can easily cross over to find shoes in your size.

Here’s how it works:

If you wear a women’s size 11.5-12, try a men’s size 10.5-11.

If you wear a men’s size 7-7.5, try a women’s size 8-8.5.

  • Remove laces and insoles.

  • Place shoes in a delicates bag (pro tip: a pillowcase works too).

  • Choose a gentle cycle with cold water & mild detergent.

  • Shake out any excess water & set aside to air dry.

  • Shoes will regain their original shape with one or two wears.
