Do I really needed All Birds trainers?

[amiapropermum]

I only have one pair of feet! I have Vans, Adidas continental 80s and Adidas sleeks plus Clark's orinoco spice boot, so i think I'm covered.

Can't stop thinking about the All Birds though

Keep your toenails short- they’re made of wool!

And short toenails look nicer .

Yes, short toenails are much nicer! I can't let mine get long - makes me shudder!

I've just bought some new high top trainers op. I blame you entirely .

I couldn't justify the All Birds (sadly), so went a bit cheaper and went for some by Po Zu.

I love my all birds. Ethically produced, washable and they look cool. I am going to buy a pair of the Mizzles next.

Okay, now I need to check out Po Zu!!!

Anyone seen the Mizzles in person yet? I live very rurally so just looking online.

Oh, I'm liking the Po Zu trainers!

Prefer Nike Roshe's or Yeezys but I don't think you can have too many trainers.

Actually got a surprising refund for something today so can (sort of) get the Allbirds guilt free! Now need to decide between the regular wool and the Mizzles....

Ooooooh that was lucky op! Let us know what you decide.

Misleading have only just been released and seem to be sold out in some sizes and colours already if that helps you decide!
Don't think you'll regret buying them and if you do the 30 day no quibble return is there so it's a win win!

Mizzles not misleading
Silly autocorrect!

That does help, Tons! Didn't want to end up with a strange Allbirds offshoot that isn't nice

Because Google knows everything it has just recommended this article for me:

Can I get opinions on colours please?

Pink not for me but I'm torn on the others

Natural grey or whatever the blue one is called. I'm not super keen on the darker soles, but don't know why.

I want the natural black mizzles. I have the blue tree runners, sooo comfy and love that they are great without socks, but they aren't even slightly waterproof so not great coming up to Autumn, trying to decide if I can justify the £££, I've just ordeed some new biker boots!

Same, Maya - although I like the idea of a black pair I'm not keen on the matching soles with it!

I like the pink best, but I think I'd go for the dark blue (and I probably will, I'm LONGING for a pair!)
They have a shop right near my home and I often press my nose wistfully against the window wondering if I can justify buying some. Now they have water repellent shoes, I think it's a sign I should invest in some immediately!

Doctor, here is how I am justifying them

Today it is POURING RAIN. I wore my orinoco spice boots which are totally waterproof but it's actually still quite warm so I was uncomfortable. What would have been perfect is a lightweight, waterproof option!

Isadora, are the Mizzles nice in real life?

See my post above for justification if you need help

I like the grey Mizzles best, also the navy ones are nice. I have the grey wool runners with a light grey sole which I prefer to the white sole. Tried on the all white tree runners in the London shop and my feet looked enormous in them. They come up wider/a bit larger than the wool runners I think.

@amiapropermum I'm not sure I've seen them in real life; though I might have, and not realised they were a new style. I think it would be crazy NOT to get some though!

Actually, I seriously need shoes to wear in the rain, I only have one pair of boots that are even remotely water resistant, and they're not really comfortable to wear all day (got too used to wearing Nikes and Toms, which are as comfortable as slippers!)

@IsadoraQuagmire will you do a recce and let me know what you think compared to the standard wool?

I will, but I'm away at the moment, so won't be able to get to the shop for a couple of weeks!

I bloody love their flats. More comfortable than Rothys but nowhere near as nice design wise.
