Slippers are great for lounging at home, but can the Allbirds Wool Loungers truly perform as both indoor and outdoor shoes? My boyfriend, Mr. DJR introduced me to Allbirds a few months ago, which coincided with a brutal summer heatwave. As someone who gets hot easily, I was skeptical about wearing wool shoes in the warmer months. But after just one wear, my sandals were banished to the back of the closet.
Outside of heels and running sneakers, I haven’t worn anything else since. What won me over was how breathable the merino wool proved to be, keeping feet cool on long morning walks in scorching temperatures. I logged over 10 miles in my Loungers with no foot fatigue. The flexible sole cradles the foot without restricting movement, so I can jump, squat, and move freely.
Fast forward to now – these Allbirds are perfect for fall weather no matter the climate. As temperatures cool, the wool will keep feet warm without overheating. Plus, after recovering from a wisdom tooth extraction this summer, the lightweight shoes were comfortable for recovering walks in the heat. The breathable material didn’t cause any issues.
I have the Classic SF Gray Loungers which go with everything from leggings to jeans. The understated colors and quality materials lend a polished look beyond typical frumpy slippers. The only style reservation is that they show dirt easily in light shades. For my next pair, I’ll choose a darker option.
Maintenance has been simple – just throw in the washer and air dry. Incredibly, after two washes they remained intact. The insoles are also removable and washable. At $95 with $25 replaceable insoles, they provide far better value than quickly worn cheaper options. Their longevity saves money long-term.
If you want the comfort of slippers for all-day inside and outdoor wear, Allbirds are worth the investment. Between reduced foot fatigue, breathability and carelessness washes, these shoes have replaced nearly my whole summer rotation. Just don’t try wearing them to formal events…yet!
