Happy Friday! I've had my Tree Flyer 2 in Black for 8 months now and it's been my go-to everyday walking/commuter/gym shoe. I decided that I needed a second pair if I am going to wear them to work. I'm really not supposed to wear sneakers at the office, but no one has complained so far, so I am going to keep wearing them as long as I can.
For reference I typically wear size 5.5 in Allbirds shoes.
On the left we have my 8 month old Tree Flyer 2 in Black and on the right is the new Thunder Purple. Both are size 5.5. The black pair actually has held up well. The only wear I see is on the mid sole where it is a bit scuffed up. It's mainly because I like to kick my shoes off at the end up the day and that's where I put my other foot to use as leverage. There are no rips or holes anywhere else on the shoe.
Not much wear on the soles, just mainly dirt. The outer and upper portions of the shoe look great. I'm very pleased with the quality of the shoe so far. I'm still going to wear the black pair on rainy days.
Size 5.5
Tree Flyer 2 is my favorite Allbirds shoe right now. They're slightly roomier in the toe box than Tree Dasher 2. I love my Wool Runner 2s, but since it's getting warmer I probably won't wear those as much until fall. My other favorite shoes are Tree Dasher Relay for not having laces! Easy on and easy off.
Thunder Purple almost looks like black in certain lighting, but it's definitely a deep purple. I love the color so much that I am considering picking it up in the Wool Dasher Mizzles.
Tree Flyer 2s are so comfortable I have zero complaints and they're currently on sale! That's it for me, I hope you all have a wonderful weekend and Happy Easter to those who celebrate it!

(The strappy back is the best part!)
(I was hoping the white one would go on sale too.)
(I'm tempted to get these and the shorts below.)
Happy Easter! I’m surprised the black pair held up so well after 8 months. I think due to my stride, the outer corners of my heels are usually the first to wear out. So Allbirds must be using some quality rubber there!
ReplyDeleteHi AC! I am impressed on how well they held up. Do you have any Allbirds?
DeleteNope haven’t joined the cult yet, I keep on telling myself I have to throw away a pair to justify buying myself a new one, but I’m still cycling through my collection of shoes so it’s hard to wear out just the one completely😆
DeleteI ended up donating a bunch of pairs and re-homed a couple that were still near new. That's the only way I can make room for some new ones!
DeleteThunder Purple is such a great color. I like that it's such a dark shade, it could almost pass for a neutral.
ReplyDeleteA couple of things caught my eye on WMTM. I ended up ordering the Softstreme Hoodie in Bone. I pray I don't slop something on it the second I wear it, lol!
The Keys Retroplush Pants arrived, and I'm pretty sure I'm keeping them. The petite xxs was the perfect size (I'm a solid size 4 in Lulu). If anyone is curious, the petite inseam measures 25 inches, and the rise is about 10 inches. The ankle zippers are super cute :)
Happy Easter!
Hi Lola! Ohhh good choice, I love the Softstreme Hoodie too.
DeleteOhhh I am going to see if the Keys Retroplush Pants are still on sale. Thanks for the measurements!
I got the Softstreme full length pants (which I'll need to hem) and the Ribbed Softstreme Shorts both in Belgin Blue! I was tempted on the 4" Softstreme shorts but wanted a different style

Happy Easter too! and those AllBirds in that deep purple is so pretty
DeleteHi Janessa! I love Belgian Blue, I have to go look at what's available in Belgian Blue. I wanted it in the Cates Tee, but looks like it's sold out. Bah.
DeleteDuring the last sale, I got both the flyers and runners in thunder purple with the intention of returning one. I'm definitely keeping the flyers. I just love the color. It feels like it would go with nearly every piece of workout clothing I own. I'm torn on returning the runners. Against, loving the color and they were so cheap during the sale, but I have a lavender pair and a brighter purple (maybe atomic purple?) that I hardly ever wear. I keep telling myself that I don't need 3 pairs of purple runners in different shades 🤣
ReplyDeleteIf it was a good deal, I would be tempted to keep the runners. Maybe you'll wear the other shades of purple this spring/summer?
