Happy June! I can't believe 2023 is nearly halfway over. I'm back in Atlanta and so happy to be home. I loved seeing my family especially my grandma. I'll have a New York post coming up soon. Today, I have an Allbirds fit review of their new Risers and my summer favorite - Sugar Sliders (on sale).
For reference I typically wear size 5.5 in Allbirds Tree Dasher 2 and Tree Dasher Relay.

I typically wear size 5.5 in Allbirds and in most other sneakers. For the Risers, I sized up to a 6 and it was a near perfect fit. It's just slightly too long, but they still fit well with socks. The width was perfect and they are very comfortable. These are great for everyday walking and exploring.
Ash is like, "Is that another pair?!"
The Risers are made of 100% organic cotton, lyocell and wool on the outside. The inside heel is also lined with wool making it feel extra cozy. The midsole is made of Sweetfoam, the outsole is made of natural rubber. The toe box and heel have sharp angles making this shoe look clunkier than what I'm used to.
Aptly named as the Risers, the sole is very cushion-y and give a bit of height to my short legs which is a plus. The bottom of the shoe has a bit of grip.
The laces are thick and wide.
Not too crazy about the design on the back of the shoe, it's a little too angular for my tastes. In the end, I decided to return these. I have relatively small feet and these made my feet look bulky with the wide angles.
Next up, we have one of my favorites - Sugar Sliders! This is my second pair. I purchased a pair in white last year at full price. I could not pass these up for $24! I highly recommend getting a pair. They're so comfortable and great for going to the pool, quick summer errand, or even getting a pair as house slippers.

Flash is too cute, I just want to boop his nose!
The adjustable velcro strap is great to get the fit just right. These feel super bouncy and plush and the little nubs massage the bottoms of your feet with every step. The soles are very grippy.
What I love most is that these are made with sugarcane! All four colors are on sale for $24. Probably the best summer purchase for your feet. I'm not even kidding. They do run large, so I would suggest sizing down. I take these in a size 5 and they're still a little roomy. That's it for me, I hope you all have a fantastic weekend!

(I am really tempted to get a pair of these!)
Definitely buy the strong feel training shoes. I own 4 pairs. All used only for lifting days. Stable and stiff soles yet supportive. I have high arch and these feel really good. No more Nike Metcon for me.
ReplyDeleteHi there! Thanks, that's the push I needed! Just ordered. =)
DeleteThanks for the review on the Tree Risers. I think they're the first pair of Allbirds that I openly dislike, lol. Aesthetically, they're not the best, in my opinion.
ReplyDeleteYou really should grab those StrongFeel shoes. I have three pairs now and they've become the workout shoes I grab the most. As the other commenter said, they're great for lifting. I even use mine for cardio, although they're not very bouncy. Plus, that markdown price is great!
Hi Lola! Yeah, I don't know what they were thinking with the boxy heel, plus they made my feet look wide and bulky. Might be more pleasing on a bigger foot? I am not sure.
DeleteI just placed my order for the Strongfeel shoes! Couldn't pass it up for the price. =)
I wear my sugar slider often and they're worth it! They're still squishy a year (ish) later and I wear them in the backyard or sometime quick errands. I maybe use them once a month if that to actually leave the house. I stick to sneakers usually.
ReplyDeleteHi Janessa! I just got my black pair and will be using those for outside and my white pair for indoors. Definitely worth the sale price and then some!
