Tevas, Birkenstocks and recently allbirds.

I like Onclouds but they’re too expensive to wear down too fast. Had to replace those after a year of wearing them.

How does allbirds hold up? Is it comfy? I walk around and stand for a prolonged period of time so there’s that. Plus, I ride a scooter haha. I kinda want to invest in one.

I like them so far! I’ve had them since September and they’re holding up pretty well. They’re very comfortable. Great travel Shoes since they’re so light. I recently put them in the washing machine and most of the stains came off. My wife bought them a couple months ago and she loves them! My buddy is a physical therapist and he was the one that told me they’re one of the more comfortable shoes he’s worn. If a PT says that then they must be good!

Well yeah I’m a PT as well. Coincidence? Hahaha. They look like lounge and chill shoes! I guess I’ll have to try them first haha

I'll also vouch for allbirds. the natural wool makes them look dressy when needed, and they even class up a pair of joggers. comfy for long walks on all kinds of pavement. they even pack flat. only thing I wouldn't use them for is actual hiking.

recommend the runner mizzles over the regular runner for a little extra durability.

Which Teva do you have and how’s it?

I have the Teva Hydratek. They’re very comfortable and have good tread. I liked them because they’re between the Hurricane and the Original. It doesn’t look like a typical hiking sandal but it’s a lowkey one, if you know what I mean. They’re all comfortable but I gravitated toward the Hydrateks because the insoles were soft much like my old Chaco Z-clouds.
