Is the Tree Dasher 2 good for running?

It works for short, easy runs and walking, but the 22.5 mm heel stack and 538 g weight make it a poor choice for long or fast training. Most runners use it as a casual sneaker.

How does it fit compared with other Allbirds?

Allbirds says the Tree Dasher 2 runs moderately wide, so most men can take their usual size. If you have narrow feet, consider sizing down or trying it on first.

Can you really machine wash it?

Yes. Allbirds lists the shoe as 100% machine washable. Remove the laces and insoles, use cold water on a gentle cycle, and air dry rather than tumble dry.

What is the heel-to-toe drop?

It has a 7 mm drop, with a 22.5 mm heel stack and a 15.5 mm forefoot stack. That is a moderate drop closer to a traditional trainer than a zero-drop shoe.

Is it worth it over the original Tree Dasher?

The second version keeps the washable lyocell upper and SweetFoam midsole but refines the fit and ride. If you already own the first model and it fits well, the upgrade is modest.

Our take on the Allbirds Men’s Tree Dasher 2

The Tree Dasher 2 is Allbirds' everyday running and walking shoe, built with a breathable TENCEL lyocell upper, a SweetFoam midsole made from sugarcane, and an FSC-certified natural rubber outsole. It has a 7 mm heel-to-toe drop and a 22.5 mm heel stack, so it sits in the moderate-cushion range rather than the max-cushion class. The shoe is fully machine washable and Allbirds lists a carbon footprint of 5.48 kg CO2e per pair. It runs moderately wide, which suits men who find typical running shoes narrow.
