I know this is unpopular but I like the look. Especially if you have more athletic style dress pants like Rhône/lululemon
I know it’s an unpopular take but I like Allbirds, don’t @ me.
As far as wearing them to the client, I think it depends on 1) the client culture and dress code (or lack there of) and 2) your personal style (see EY2’s opinion above).
I think it’s good to dress a “level above” the client but with super casual clients, especially those in tech, I don’t want to come across as the stuffy consultant who’s telling them what to do. If they’re wearing t-shirts and sneakers, then, for example, wearing lulu ABCs, an OCBD, and Allbirds is totally appropriate.
No allbirds pls.. it really looks odd - especially if you are working for financial firms..
My personal opinion is dress shirt and pant need good dress shoes..

@BAH Haha 😂 That’s the spirit. They look like you get your shoes prescribed from your doctor.
Agree with SC2 absolutely under no circumstances will i wear allbirds. Sweatpants are also comfy but comfy is not an excuse for anyone above the age of 18 to wear them in public.
My aversion to allbirds is more related to the fact so many people wear them specifically to show how cool hip they are. You go to Brooklyn or SF and every other person is wearing allbirds, a plaid work shirts, while sporting a beard and man bun.
I'm not suggesting you are trying to look that way but just be aware that if you do wear them (especially in a work environment) you will be perceived a certain way. Oh and i am not a Boomer if you are wondering.
I live in BK, no one here wears Allbirds...we wear cool sneakers
Allbirds are essentially a stale meme at this point. Avoid regardless of alleged comfort
Having had a pair, they’re not even that comfortable. Eventually threw them out.

It‘s his opinion and I‘m 100 % onboard.
Get Cole haans
I wouldn’t wear Allbirds to a client site
I mean then you *could*, still doesn’t mean you *should*.
No I don’t think that would be a good look.
Some Allbirds look decent with casual dark jeans/pants but never dress pants.
Amazing how much narrow-minded zealotry a simple question can provoke: “ALWAYS do this!”, “NEVER do that!”
Much better to follow the ageless fashion advice of Augustine of Hippo,”When in Rome...”

I love my all birds!!! If the office is on the more business casual side, go for it!
I do love this convo so let me just say. 100% rocking allbirds today. Thanks to this thread I feel like I’m making a stand 😂😂😂😂
Thanks to all for providing your feedback, I will be sure to review it in the near future. In other news my Allbirds are very comfy
