If 2022 is the year that you're planning to make more sustainable choices , then you need to check out the footwear brand Allbirds . It's a New Zealand-born brand that started out of the founder's interest in using merino wool as a sustainable material for shoes.

One of their best-selling shoes, the Tree Dasher , is now permanently priced at $130 rather than $175. They're made for running but are so comfortable and stylish, they'll quickly become your new everyday shoe, too.

The B Corp-certified brand focuses on using sustainable materials and these runners are made with eucalyptus fibre, which is breathable and lightweight. The foam padding is made of sugarcane-based EVA and the shoelaces are made of recycled water bottles.

They're even machine-washable, making them easy to keep clean. Just make sure you remove the laces and insoles first and air dry them. And since they're over $50, they'll ship to you for free.

Allbirds also sells apparel and other shoes like the equally popular Mizzles Wool Runners for $170 that are non-slip and water repellent.
