On a recent press trip to the Channel Islands, I relied on the Allbirds Women's Tree Runner Go trainers to see me through days filled with long walks, steep hills, and sandy terrain. These trainers handled every surface and walking distance with ease and kept my feet feeling extremely supported all day long.
If you're currently on the hunt for the most comfortable trainers, the choice can feel a little bit overwhelming. However, if you prioritise comfort, style, and sustainability, Allbirds Tree Runner Go trainers are worth considering. Allbirds designs are made with natural fibres, from the outsole crafted with breathable tree-knit fibre to the cushioned midsole made from a sugarcane-based material. These trainers combine comfort and sustainability with ease, something that's hard to find on the high street.
Throughout my trip, the Allbirds Tree Runner Go trainers truly impressed me, securing their permanent place in my autumn capsule wardrobe. They feature stretchy no-lace laces and pull-on tabs, which made getting them on and off easy, and their subtle cushioning at the back of the ankle meant there was no chance of getting any blisters.

Allbirds Tree Runner Go Trainers Review: Comfort and Support
The cushioned ankle of these trainers offers gentle support without any rubbing from the first wear onwards, making them a fantastic choice if you're prone to blisters. Plus, the thick soles soften every step and offer a subtle bounce, which provides relief from hard or rough terrains. The outsoles are made from a tree-knit fabric, which is naturally airy and cool, whilst the "Sweetfoam" midsole is made with comfort and support in mind, and you can definitely notice this.
A standout feature of these trainers in comparison to other designs is the tough treads that enable them to grip different surfaces, making your feet feel well and truly supported. I noticed this whilst walking on several different surfaces, but especially when walking down steep, declining paths or rough woodland terrain.
Over the course of 5 days, I put these trainers through long grassy walks, steep climbs, and descents, and each time they felt extremely supportive and comfortable. Plus, the stretch-lace design and pull tabs make them super easy to slip on and off when heading out and about. In the box, they also come with a pair of normal, round shoe laces to offer versatile wearing options, but the stretch laces make them easier to wear.
Allbirds Tree Runner Go Trainers Review: Style
What I loved just as much as the comfortable design was how easy the Allbirds Tree Runners were to style, securing them as a core component of my autumn outfit ideas. On days that were activity-filled, I paired them with comfortable gym leggings or lightweight linen trousers. The sleek silhouette and contrasting pull tab design make them look and feel fashion-forward, so they don't exclusively feel like active-wear shoes.
These trainers worked just as well with laid-back denim jeans and even midi-skirts when out and about. The neutral blizzard and hazy pine colourway that I chose makes them incredibly versatile to style, but they do come in multiple colourways, including a rustic brown and a black shade.
As mentioned, the Tree Runner Go trainers come with stretchy no-lace laces alongside a pair of spare normal round shoe laces in the box for optional styling methods, too.
Allbirds Tree Runner Go Trainers Review: Cleaning & Care
Keeping these trainers fresh is surprisingly easy, even for a light coloured shoe, which is a huge plus after I wore them outdoors on muddy terrain. For everyday dirt, the white sole is wipeable and cleans easily with a damp cloth.
If they need a deeper clean, they're machine washable - it's just advised to remove the insoles and pop the shoes in on a gentle cycle. After washing, let them air dry naturally, and they should retain their shape and look. If you are active or simply like getting out and about, these are a low-effort trainer that you can keep looking fresh with minimal effort.
