Allbirds Review! Wool Strider Rugged Beige and 50% Off Black Friday Sale!
Black Friday sales are already in full swing! Everyone started their sales really early this year. Allbirds started their sale last week and when I saw the Wool Strider was 50% off I could not help myself to a pair!
For reference I typically wear size 5.5 in Allbirds and Lululemon.
As you can see, I'm still in my neutral phase and Rugged Beige is so pretty in person. There's a hint of pink undertones with Rugged Beige that I really love.
I love the shoe lace grommets.
The elastic opening is a little snug, but I expect they will loosen up after a few wears. The fit is true to size. They're a perfect fit for me.
I've worn these out in the park and walked about 12,000 steps on the first day. By the end of the day my feet felt great. No issues at all.
A reader asked to see photos of my Athleta Tranquil Waffel Jogger in size Petite XS and I happened to be wearing the Wool Striders. Jared took these pics and he didn't tell me my bag was all squished against my body. 😆
Love how they look paired together!
Let's take a closer look at the details.
Wool Strider Rugged Beige Size 5.5
Really love this color. It's the perfect neutral and goes with anything. The laces are round which are not the best at staying tied. I often have to double knot these types of laces.
The Merino wool blend feels very soft, yet sturdy. The midsole design is flattering and pleasing to the eye. I wouldn't mind getting another pair in Dark Gray for a more sporty look, especially for $62! 😱
The sole offered enough traction for walking in the park. There were a lot of leaves and dirt pathways that were slightly tricky to navigate. I have not worn these in the rain yet, so I can't say how the soles would fare in wet weather. That said, so far I really love them! That's it for me! I hope you all have a wonderful start to the last week of November!
Hi Leslie, I used to check out the Allbirds site regularly but have stopped doing that for a while due to the limited colors offered on the Canadian site.
I love neutral shades and Rugged Beige goes with everything. The Wool Strider looks a bit narrow in the toe box. How do you compare the fit to Wool Runner?
The Tranquil Waffle Jogger is perfect in length on you, and it looks really comfy!
Hi Andrea! I didn't find it to be narrow. I think the Wool Runner Go runs smaller in size and width. I didn't feel like I needed to size up at all in the Wool Strider. I might actually get another pair of the Striders and let go my Wool Runner Go. They're that comfy!
Does the Canadian site at least have Rugged Beige?
