Hey! TBH, my Allbirds Black Friday experiences have been...mixed. They *do* have sales, but don't expect massive discounts on the Wool Runners themselves. I've seen better luck finding deals on older colorways or limited edition styles they're trying to clear out. Also, check third-party retailers like Zappos – sometimes they'll have better deals than Allbirds directly. Good luck snagging those Runners!

Hey there!

While the other reply is right about deep discounts being rare, I've noticed something else that might be helpful. Allbirds sometimes offers 'limited edition' colors or styles that are *only* available around Black Friday/Cyber Monday. These aren't always discounted, unfortunately, but they can sell out REALLY fast. So, if you see a color you love, it's probably best to grab it, even if it's not on sale.

Also, keep an eye out for gift card deals! Sometimes they'll offer something like 'Buy a $100 gift card, get a $20 bonus card'. You could use that to effectively get a discount on your Wool Runners. It's not a direct price cut, but it's something! And check their website leading up to the event – they sometimes tease upcoming deals.

Hope this helps! Good luck snagging those Wool Runners!

Hey there! Jumping in here... while the limited edition colors are a cool tip (Reply #2!), I'm always thinking about the actual *cost*. Honestly, unless you're dead-set on Allbirds, compare prices *before* Black Friday. I've been tracking shoe prices for years, and sometimes, you can find similar wool runners from other brands for way cheaper *outside* of the BF/CM madness.

Also, think about signing up for Allbirds' email list *now*. Sometimes they send out early access deals or coupons right before the big sale, which can stack with whatever discount they offer during the event. Finally, don't forget to check places like Poshmark or eBay for gently used pairs! I snagged a practically new pair of Wool Runners last year for almost half price that way. It takes some digging, but totally worth it if you're on a budget! Good luck getting your Wool Runners!

Hey! Just jumping in here with a slightly different perspective, and honestly, it's about safety. While everyone's talking about deals and colors, I'm wondering if anyone else has had issues with Allbirds on slick surfaces? I, unfortunately, wiped out pretty badly last winter wearing mine on an icy sidewalk.

So, before you snag a Black Friday deal, maybe think about where you'll *actually* be wearing them. Are you planning on wearing them in potentially slippery conditions? If so, maybe consider something with better traction. I know it's not the same aesthetic, but something like Blundstones (when on sale!) might be a safer bet for winter months, even if they aren't as breathable. Just something to consider – a good deal isn't worth a broken bone! Hope this helps!

Hey! Instead of just focusing on Allbirds, have you thought about comparing them to similar brands during the Black Friday/Cyber Monday sales? I mean, tons of companies make wool runners now!

For example, last year I noticed that while Allbirds had *okay* discounts, brands like Rothy's and even some of the bigger athletic companies like Adidas (they have wool options!) had deeper discounts, especially if you were okay with older colorways.

So, my tip would be to create a spreadsheet and track prices for similar shoes across different brands leading up to the sales. That way, you can see who REALLY has the best deal on the style and material you're looking for, not just the Allbirds name. Plus, you might discover a new favorite shoe! Good luck!

Hey! I've been following this thread, and while everyone's giving great advice on sales and alternatives, I wanted to throw in a slightly different perspective – DIY options for extending the life of your Allbirds, especially if you *don't* snag a crazy deal. Honestly, sometimes investing in good care is better than hoping for a massive discount that might not happen.

So, here's the thing: Allbirds are comfy, but the soles *can* wear down. Instead of immediately buying a new pair (even on sale!), consider resoling. There are DIY kits available online, but I've had issues with those in the past. The adhesive wasn't as good as expected, and honestly, the results weren't pretty. I ended up with uneven soles and wasted money.

That said, if you're even slightly unsure of your DIY skills, I'd *strongly* recommend taking them to a professional shoe repair shop. It'll cost more upfront than a DIY kit (probably around $40-$60 depending on the shop), but it's absolutely worth it for a clean, durable result. They have the right equipment and adhesives to ensure a proper bond that will last. Plus, a good repair shop can often do other things like reinforce weak spots or even customize the sole if you want something more durable. Think of it as an investment in keeping your existing Allbirds going strong, rather than relying solely on Black Friday deals.

Another thing: consider getting some good quality wool wash and a shoe cleaning kit. Proper cleaning and maintenance will significantly extend the life of your Wool Runners, making any potential Black Friday purchase last even longer. I've found that gentle hand washing is far better than throwing them in the machine, even on a delicate cycle. Unfortunately, machine washing has, in my experience, led to shrinkage and damage to the wool fibers. A good wool wash keeps them soft and prevents odors.

Ultimately, whether you find a great Black Friday deal or not, taking care of your Allbirds is key to getting the most out of them. So, maybe factor in the cost of professional resoling (if needed) and good cleaning supplies when you're weighing your options. Hope this helps!
