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

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

  • Remove 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.
