The Allbirds Tree Dasher 2 is a versatile daily trainer designed for eco-conscious consumers seeking a balance between lifestyle appeal and sports functionality. Ideal for those who prioritize sustainability, the shoe features a breathable knit upper that promotes airflow, enhancing comfort during various activities.
Lab testing revealed that the midsole provides a firm response, which translates to a stable ride but may not meet the needs of runners looking for high energy return over long distances. Additionally, while this shoe serves well as both a walking and gym training partner, some users may find the midsole's firmness less suitable for extended runs.
