I just bought some mizzles, I will see how they go, but if they don't last, I'll be talking to them about it. No chance I'm spending $200 on shoes and not getting at least 2 years of regular ordinary use from them.

I have been wearing Allbirds for a few years now and love them. The durability is very good and I still wear my original Pair. They are relegated to around the garden now. I prefer the wooden ones but I do have a couple of pair of tree ones as well.

 

As I am more mobile now I have ordered a couple of Pairs of the Mizzles (shower proof) for the winter. The woollen shoes are great if I have to use the wheelchair as the wool keeps my feet warm even it they get wet.

 

The TCO in my case has been great and way better then other traditional sneakers I certainly recommend them.

I bought a pair of the wool runners years ago and found the soles didn't necessarily wear out, but the wool upper did. After a few months you could see the shape of your toes which was a bit strange. I also found the wool to be a bit too hot for me personally.

 

Despite that, I absolutely love the tree runners and loungers - have had both for 3 years now, with the runners in particular going through a decent amount of use walking and only just got a new pair now (more because I wanted a different colour). Sole is a bit worn down but after that many years I'm not too concerned.
