I Walked 11 Miles Pain-Free in These Cloud-Like Sneakers From a Mila Kunis-Worn Brand

I never cared about a shoe’s comfort level until I moved to New York City. I quickly realized that this city moves fast, and I needed footwear that could keep up with the pace. Unfortunately, my stiletto heels didn’t make the cut (at least when it came to everyday commutes). But you know what did? My Wool Runners from Allbrids.

I’m sure you’ve heard of Allbirds; the brand has racked up an impressive lineup of celebrity fans including Mila Kunis, Blake Lively, Courteney Cox, Chrissy Teigen, Emma Watson, and Sarah Jessica Parker (just to name a few). The Wool Runners have been dubbed the Hollywood mom shoe thanks to their A-list roster, and I’m here to confirm that celebrities love them for good reason. 

Available in gray, navy, and black, the sneakers boast a supportive rubber sole, lace-up closure, and removable cushioned foam insole for a customized fit. The star of the show is its thermo-regulating merino wool exterior, which keeps your feet cozy without being scratchy; I’m very particular about texture, so this is a big deal. While snuggly, the material allows for breathability so it’s never too hot.

I put the Allbirds Wool Runners to the ultimate test: a trip to Disneyland. I wore the shoes right out of the box and ended up walking 11 miles. I expected to be in serious pain, yet the Wool Runners felt like clouds on my feet, whether I was dancing through Main Street, running to the popcorn machine, or standing in long lines. They’ve become one of my go-to comfy sneakers, and I rely on them for both traveling and walking around the block. I even gifted my dad a pair of the Wool Runners for Christmas — I’m that impressed.  

You don’t even have to worry about getting the Wool Runners dirty; pop the kicks into a delicates bag and toss them into the washing machine. As long as it’s on a cold, gentle cycle and the shoes air-dry for 24 hours, the Wool Runners won’t lose their performance or shape, according to the brand. 

The Allbirds Wool Runners aren’t just practical, they’re stylish, too. Coordinate the versatile shoes with leggings and an oversized tee or jeans and a hoodie for a high-end sporty look. I wouldn’t necessarily wear them to a black-tie event, but let’s be honest: We’re here for comfort!   

According to shoppers, the Allbirds Wool Runners last “years,” so you’re sure to get your money's worth — but the only way to do so is by securing your own pair. Select your choice of color and experience the level of comfort only Allbirds Wool Runners can bring.
