Allbirds: Wool Shoes for a Rainy Day in LA
Whenever it rains here in Los Angeles, I wear my wool, allbirds shoes for walking the dog or going on errands around the city. Allbirds is known for its commitment to sustainability. The wool used in their shoes comes from ethically-raised sheep, and the company uses eco-friendly materials and practices throughout their production process. The shoes are lightweight, which adds to the overall comfort and makes them great for travel.
I haven’t had the chance to test them out in a torerntial downpour, but even during a wet, LA rain shower, while navigating through puddles of water in my outdoor parking garage, my feet have stayed perfectly dry. Due to the wool material, they are water resistent, but not waterproof. The wool is incredibly soft and provides a comfortable, sock-like fit. It’s also breathable, helping to keep your feet cool in the summer and warm in the winter.
Allbirds shoes have a sleek, minimalist design that pairs well with a variety of outfits. They come in a range of colors and styles, so there’s something for everyone. I have two pair of these shoes; both are wool. One pair are light gray, high tops and the other are sage green, low tops. I have to say that the high tops are more comfortable for me to wear, but I like the color of the low tops better. You would think that they would both fit the same way because they are both the same size, but something about the tongue of the low tops is a little tight on the top of my foot as compared to the high tops. The natural properties of the wool help reduce odor, which is a nice plus for everyday wear and many of their wool shoes are machine washable, making them easy to clean and maintain.

I would like to recommend that you purchase these shoes on Amazon, so that I could get an affiliate reward for the referral, but it’s just not the best deal out there, so I recommend getting these off the allbirds website where they are constantly offering discounts.
