Allbirds provides an online marketplace intended to offer footwear made of natural materials. The company's footwear is made from merino wool and fibers of eucalyptus trees which have properties that minimize odor, regulate temperature and wick moisture. Allbirds aim to provide customers with comfortable and sustainable shoes using these materials.
Allbirds wants to make footwear that is different from other shoemakers, sustainable and made from premium materials. They are working to design a shoe they feel is meant for everyday life.
Their footwear includes their runners, loungers, skippers, toppers and runner-ups. All of these shoes include their Mizzle variant which is a waterproof, and their Tree Loungers variant which offers improved breath-ability highlighted by larger holes in the fabric. They also offer socks, face masks, lace kits and insoles.
