Sports shoes for women
We hear a lot about the 'active lifestyle' these days, but what does that actually mean? Running three kilometers on a nice day in a pair of Tree Flyer 2s? That definitely counts. But even if your idea of an active lifestyle means commuting to work or picking up your kids from school, your feet will enjoy the ride while wearing a comfortable pair of Allbirds women's shoes. And if you want to hit the gym for some exercise in between, they're great for that too.
Allbirds' signature combination of comfort, style and sustainability makes for a versatile pair of shoes that you can wear from the gym to the supermarket checkout without skipping a beat. Discover our active shoes for women, made from renewable and sustainably sourced materials.
Which Allbirds shoes are best for running?
For everyday runs, we recommend the Tree Dasher 2, designed with our signature ZQ-certified merino wool and FSC-certified tree materials to deliver performance while being kind to the environment. The Tree Dasher 2 has a breathable and flexible upper made from eucalyptus tree fibers, a responsive midsole made from sugarcane-based SweetFoam and a natural rubber outsole that provides traction.
For longer runs, we recommend the Tree Flyer. This lightweight, super bouncy and extremely comfortable long-distance running shoe features a cushioned SwiftFoam midsole that also optimizes energy return, making long runs more comfortable for the body, and a breathable eucalyptus tree fiber upper that offers maximum comfort on any route.
For off-road and cross-country runners, we recommend the Trail Runners SWT. It features a treaded outsole that provides more grip and traction on different terrain surfaces, toe protection for added protection when navigating rough terrain, and a reinforced heel counter and supportive midsole that provide more stability and support on uneven surfaces.
Are Allbirds shoes good for running?
Our three Allbirds shoe designs are made for running: The Tree Dasher 2 (everyday running), the Tree Flyers (long-distance running) and the Trail Runners SWT (off-road running).
Just ask our fans: the reviews range from comments such as "I don't even think about my feet during my runs and training sessions." (Danielle S.) to "I love the lightweight feel and I love how my feet feel when I run!" (Elizabeth S.)
Not a runner? For explosive HIIT workouts and cross-training, the SuperLight Trainers weigh just 113 grams. If you prefer to play golf, you should take to the course with the Golf Dashers.
What is so special about sports shoes?
Sports shoes are usually lighter than most everyday shoes and offer additional cushioning for the heel and toes. They are also more breathable, allowing air to escape and minimizing wetness and moisture - which prevents unpleasant side effects such as chafing and blisters.
Sports shoes are also generally more durable than other shoes, as they are usually designed to withstand hundreds of kilometers in tougher conditions.
