I bought 4 pair of Allbirds (not cheap) and 3 of the 4 pairs are getting rips in the material by the toe. I rotate these shoes with other shoes and only wear them to work so not a lot of wear and tear. Even with 2 years of COVID where we went nowhere and the shoes just sat they deemed the damage as results wear and tear. These are expensive shoes and should last longer than that. I am sure other shoes would last longer. I will never by these shoes again. Didn't get my monies worth. Very disappointed on this company.
