Allbirds Tree Pipers Review<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The Allbirds Tree Pipers<\/a><\/strong> are a minimalist sneaker made of eucalyptus tree fiber that can keep your feet cool and comfy all day long. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

While they are not made for intense workouts or hiking in extremely rugged terrains, they can put up to the usual wear and tear when walking around the city all day long. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Here are some of the notable features I noticed about the Allbirds Tree Pipers.<\/p>\n\n\n

Colors Available<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

The Allbirds Tree Pipers are available in various color combinations, including the timeless white, gray, and black shades to limited edition designs including Dark Jungle, Hazy Indigo, and more. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

I got the Kaikoura White design, a classic look that pairs well with a lot of outfits.

Since I received them, I haven\u2019t worn any other shoe which I guess shows how versatile it really is! The shoe is smart and casual at the same time which is something that\u2019s pretty hard to pull off.<\/p>\n\n\n

Materials<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

The Allbirds Tree Pipers<\/a><\/strong> are made of various innovative sustainable materials that make it environment-friendly and functional.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Majority of the shoes are made of eucalyptus fiber knit from FSC Certified Forests, while its midsole is the world\u2019s first carbon negative and green EVA made of sugarcane. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

It doesn\u2019t stop there, as the shoe\u2019s insole is made of castor bean oil and ZQ Merino rather than petroleum-based foam.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You can check out their website<\/a><\/strong> for more information about the materials these shoes are made of, as well as the production process- it\u2019s pretty fascinating stuff!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You might presume that all-natural materials mean less durability, but that\u2019s not the case with the Allbirds Tree Pipers. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

They are soft yet durable, able to withstand various weather conditions and long walks without showing signs of aging. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

I can see that the fabric and soles can hold up well for a couple of years!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As a result of its eucalyptus tree fiber material, you get a cooler and more breathable shoe compared to the Wool Pipers, so it is a more suitable shoe for warmer climates.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It is also a soft and supportive shoe, which helps with my feet\u2019s overall comfort levels.<\/p>\n\n\n

Other Features of the Allbirds Tree Pipers<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Besides the style and materials, here are a few more factors I looked into when deciding on getting this pair.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Affordability<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Price is an important factor to consider when purchasing anything, which is why I was pleased to know that these shoes are about $100. Considering some sneakers retail at $100-250, I found these to be pretty reasonable.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For its style and functionality, you can rarely find anything better, getting more than what you paid for with these shoes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sure, they aren\u2019t a pair of magic shoes that fit the bill in every aspect of traveling, but they feel soft, look great, and are made of all-natural materials without the hefty price tag. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you\u2019re looking for a casual pair of shoes that will keep your feet happy for the entire day, then the Allbirds Tree Pipers are perfect for you.<\/p>\n\n\n

Good Fit<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

The Allbirds Tree Pipers<\/a><\/strong> run true to size, adding to its comfortability level. However, since they only offer shoes in whole sizes, I recommended ordering half a size up for extra toe room.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For instance, if you are a US 8.5, purchase the US 9.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

One minor pet peeve is that sometimes, you need to un-lace and re-lace your shoes when you take them off.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It\u2019s not a huge problem but a tiny inconvenience. Sometimes they slip right on but I noticed a few times where they weren\u2019t as easy to slip in. <\/p>\n\n\n

Comfort Level<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

As mentioned, the Allbirds Tree Pipers are known for their soft, breathable feel. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Fortunately, they stay true to their word thanks to the adequate cushioning on the soles. The padded insoles and interior areas of the shoes are lined with soft merino wool, making it a treat to walk around in.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I only say walk because these shoes aren\u2019t made for running or other forms of intense hikes and exercises. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

They can survive a bit of running but they shouldn\u2019t be used as workout shoes, since they don\u2019t have much of the arch support required. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you\u2019re looking for a running shoe, you can check out our review of the Allbirds Tree Runners<\/a><\/strong>.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

Keep in mind that these shoes are more cooling and breathable than Wool Pipers, making them suitable for warmer months as opposed to fall and winter. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you plan on traveling during the spring to early fall months, you\u2019ll feel comfortable with these shoes. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

I’ve traveled quite a bit with these shoes (wore them all around London where the weather was slightly cooler. I also noticed that my feet don\u2019t feel hot or sweaty (currently testing them out in Thailand\u2019s intense heat!)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Moreover, the Allbirds Tree Runners are easy to maintain. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

While they do get dirty quickly, they are very easy to wash. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

At the end of the day, you just need to throw your shoes in the washing machine and air dry them, then they\u2019ll be ready for another day of walking! <\/p>\n\n\n

Verdict on Allbirds Tree Pipers<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The Allbirds Tree Pipers<\/a><\/strong> are a suitable all-around shoe for travelers who want something smart looking and comfortable. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

They are also extremely lightweight and feel almost like slippers, so walking will feel even better no matter how long you\u2019re out of the house for. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Its lack of arch support may be a slight disadvantage for those with feet problems but nothing an insole can\u2019t solve.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Although these shoes won\u2019t replace hiking boots, in my opinion, these shoes are still worth purchasing for walking around cities and exploring.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Overall, I believe these shoes are definitely worth the price, considering that these are affordable yet do the job in keeping your feet pain-free and comfortable.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I can say these will be one of my go-to shoes during our travels. Overall, very pleased by their quality! <\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n
