This is a mall location for the global shoe brand based in New Zealand. I was not the hugest fan of the mall itself (though at least my visit was short enough that I didn't have to pay for the parking garage). The store itself was clean, unfussy, and had the full selection of colors and the latest release I wanted to try before buying. Interestingly, when I clicked the location on Google Maps, Google threw me a coupon that I was able to use in store. No guarantees, but hey make sure you check.
I find Allbirds to have perhaps the best fitted upper I've ever tried, one that doesn't bother my one foot with a sensitive bit of bone jutting out. The company has some mesh shoes and some wool (I've never done the wool), which are very comfortable, but which have relatively soft and smooth soles. They are good for walking on indoor floors or asphalt, but they lack traction and durability. Thus, when the brand released a new trail shoe which promises to (expensively) address this with a toughened up shoe with more tread, I was excited to try it on. The review here is not for the shoes though.
I got quick service and had no trouble using my coupon, and my shoebox was assembled with a shoelace to form a carry handle (and save a bag). I think the Boulder location is a bit easier to access, but I like the shoes. read more
