Happy Friday! I have some exciting Allbirds news to share! I was told the next coupon I receive will apply to my Canadian readers! I seriously hope my contact at Allbirds comes through because I have been asking for one since the beginning of this year. Every couple of months I keep following up to see if they can make this happen for my Canadian friends. I feel bad every time I get a coupon and it's US only. I'll let you all know as soon as I find out more info. Today, I have a new Allbirds shoe up for review- Wool Piper Woven.
For reference I typically wear size 5.5 in Allbirds. When only whole sizes are available I size up to a 6.
The Wool Piper Woven shoe only comes in whole sizes. I typically wear size 5.5 in Allbirds so I decided to size up to a 6. This was the right call. They were perfect with my Bombas socks.
Because they are woven, there's not a lot of stretch, but I did not find them to be too tight on my foot and I have average width feet. I went with Natural White and I would describe it as the color of bone. It's not a bright white, and it has a twinge of gray. It's a great neutral if you're looking for a light colored shoe.
The details.
Last year, I tried the Wool Piper Mids (my review) and really love them, they are super comfortable. I figured the Wool Piper Woven would be just as comfortable and they are. The fit is also similar.
The back of the pull tab is much smaller than the original Piper. I did not find these to rub the back of my ankle or any other discomfort. The bottom of the sole has a good looking tread. These shoes are meant to be worn as casual everyday shoes.
The inside is lined with cozy wool. It comes with a cardboard insert to keep the shape when the shoe isn't worn. You can wear these sockless but I haven't done so with any of my Allbirds. I am a sock wearer through and through. The laces are flat but nice and thick quality.
However, I did find one possible flaw in the shoe. The woven fabric feels like a type of light canvas and I noticed there are wrinkles throughout the shoe. Since these are brand new out of the box, I am worried that the creases will deepen even more with wear. I didn't like these enough to keep, so I can't say if this will happen, but it is something to consider.
That's it for me! Hope you all have a wonderful weekend. I'm likely to be laid out this weekend because I am getting my Covid booster and flu shot tonight. Wish me luck! 😬

Hi Andrea! I know! I was super surprised and excited when I saw the response. I don't know exactly the percentage of Canadian readers I have, but I think it's probably close to 30%.
Deletehi Leslie! Thanks for the fit review! The canvas sneakers look classy and I like the platform height. Thanks for asking Allbirds for a coupon that would apply in Canada! I'm currently eyeing the Wool Flyer Mizzles in Hazy Indigo, but haven't pulled the trigger because of the high price. Have a great weekend!
ReplyDeleteHi Karen! I am eyeing the Flyer Mizzles in the pink!! Looks soooo pretty. But I agree, the high price tag is a little bit much for me. I will have to wait for the next coupon or sale.
DeleteCute Sneakers look very well made nice sole.
ReplyDeleteMight order Align crops 17" in Moonlit magenta. Believe it or not don't own Aligns shorter 17" align most are 7?8 length or 21". or color moonlit magenta.
Do own variation of vivid plum aligns which i rarely wear, compliments wearing black tops only color that seem to work.
Don't know if the Moonlit magenta color is flattering on me? Complimentary color golden yellow tank or swiftly SS needs to be ordered to complete the new gym outfit and shoes too.Lol...
So far they have it in my size not in stores but online.
Thanks Leslie for sale.... Now i really got to purchase them....
Hi Mack! Let me know what you think of the Align 17". I find they are perfect for petites and they fit the calves well too. Don't think you will have that issue since you're calves are probably very muscular. =D
DeleteWhite and Moonlit Magenta would work as well. Possible a pink too but if you're willing to play with color!
Reconsidered Moonlight Magenta align crops. Own two, In Flow Crops II with the color regal plum and Heathered gator green.

Others who bought recent color Vivid Plum leggings don't want to spend more on Moonlit Magenta saying its too similar pinkish purple hue.
Convinced regal plum In Flow crops II are similar vivid plum color as Moonlit magenta enough not to go forward make Align crop purchase.
Keeping my retro discontinued style In flow crops that are 17". Enjoy the fit just below my pointy knees showing off them skinny calves not as muscular as you may think. Lol.
Paired the pink outfit together In Flow crop II regal plum, with Figue Cool racerback with old Metcon 3.

Thanks anyways.
Oh yes, I remember Regal Plum that is very close to Moonlit Magenta. I had a pair of In Flow Crops. I did like those but ended up rehoming them after a while. Better to save your money if you have something similar, unless you really like the Aligns!
DeleteThe shoes look cute but I don't like the canvas creases either! Thanks for your review!
ReplyDeleteHi Janessa! Same. The original ones are a little nicer in that aspect.
DeleteThanks for fighting for a coupon code for Canada! I'm looking forward to it :)
ReplyDeleteThe canvas shoes are a nice color, but that's a color I wouldn't have much success with keeping clean! Do they feel much heavier than the wool runners? They look like they might feel clunkier than their other shoes.
Thanks for the review!
Hi Lola! I hope they come through with the coupon!
DeleteI didn't feel that they were heavier when I tried them on. But I agree, it did feel a little clunkier. Not as flexible.
