In my experience, every individual who tries on a pair of Allbirds trainers is immediately converted to a die-hard enthusiast. Last Christmas, for example, my mother gifted each member of our family a pair of the brand’s environmentally-friendly footwear, and now none of us can fathom existence without them — and we’re not the only ones. Celebrities like Courteney Cox, Hilary Duff, Blake Lively, and Lucy Hale have been spotted sporting the exceptionally cozy lace-ups, and Mila Kunis has even been donning her Allbirds Tree Dasher 2s since as early as 2018.

So, naturally, when I discovered Allbirds’ recently launched running shoes, I (alongside everyone in my family group chat) was immediately thrilled. Described by the company as “the most technologically advanced shoe Allbirds has ever introduced,” the Allbirds Tree Flyer was designed for extended, rapid, and painless running. Each trainer incorporates patented SwiftFoam, a highly responsive and shock-absorbent padded midsole that vows to add “more spring” to every stride. And while this additional padding safeguards the ankles, knees, and hips, these shoes are anything but bulky — in fact, they are 30 percent lighter than Allbirds’ classic SweetFoam cushioning, obtainable in the brand’s Wool Loungers and Tree Pipers. (By the way: Carrie Underwood referred to these Trainers as “the most comfortable footwear” for her sensitive knees.)
