The 'World’s Most Comfortable Shoes' Are Finally Available In Canada
In March 2016, Allbirds, a San Francisco-based sustainable footwear company, launched a pair of sneakers that TIME Magazine declared “the world’s most comfortable shoes.” Fast-forward two years and these eco-friendly, minimalist sneaks are finally coming to Canada.
It’s no secret that the fashion industry is one of the biggest producers of waste, and Allbirds founders Tim Brown and Joey Zwillinger wanted to do something about that. They launched with a sneaker made from superfine wool, a renewable material that’s often used in apparel but not common in footwear. And — contrary to what you might imagine (wool is hot and scratchy, right?) — the fabric is crazy-soft, breathable and, yes, extremely comfy. No lie — they feel like slippers with a more supportive sole.
Since then, Allbirds has expanded their product portfolio to include two additional silhouettes (a lounger and boat shoe-inspired skippers) and one new material, eucalyptus. And now anyone who’s tried them — including celebs like Emma Watson and Mindy Kaling — can’t get enough.
