How to wash Allbird Tree Runners?

Washing your Allbirds Tree Runners properly helps keep them fresh and extends their lifespan. The recommended method involves simple preparation and machine washing on a delicate cycle.

Here's a breakdown of the steps to clean your Allbirds Tree Runners:

Preparation Steps

Before putting your shoes in the washing machine, a little preparation goes a long way in achieving the best results.

• Remove Components: Remove the insoles and laces from your Tree Runners. Washing these separately or letting them air out can help.
• Brush Off Dirt: Use a towel or soft brush to brush off excess dirt from the shoes. This prevents mud or debris from clogging your washing machine or redepositing on the shoes.

Machine Washing Your Tree Runners

Once prepared, your Tree Runners are ready for the washing machine. Follow these specific settings and tips:

• Machine Cycle: Throw the shoes in the washing machine on the wool/delicates cycle (cold water). Using cold water is crucial to protect the shoe material.
• Protect Your Shoes & Machine: We recommend using a linen bag or pillowcase. This helps prevent the shoes from banging around inside the machine and can protect the fabric.
• Detergent Choice: Use a gentle detergent. Harsh chemicals can damage the sustainable materials of your Tree Runners.
• Avoid Bleach: Avoid bleach at all costs. Bleach can weaken and discolor the fabric.
