Are you looking for sandals like Birkenstock this summer? Don’t worry; we’ve rounded up the best Birkenstock alternative brands creating high-quality sandals from sustainable materials.

If you’re like me, who loves the classic look of a Birkenstock sandal but hates the blisters you get from wearing them for hours, coupled with the hefty price tag Birkenstock sandals retail at, then this post is for you.

Birkenstock is a German footwear brand creating men’s and women’s sandals that feature an anatomically shaped footbed and a cork and rubber sole.

The classic Gizeh and Arizona sandals are synonymous with the brand and have become some of the most worn sandals worldwide.

The sandals brand is in the top five largest shoe producers globally. It produces most of its Birkenstock shoes in German factories in Rhineland-Palatinate, Hesse, North Rhine-Westphalia, and Saxony.

The Birkenstock brand can be traced back to its founding in 1774, with the classic Birkenstock footbed innovation arriving in 1896.

Birkenstock uses some natural materials, including cork, leather, and natural rubber, but the brand doesn’t always prioritize using sustainable materials. But fear not, you can still get the Birkenstock style using eco-friendly materials, as many other sustainable brands are creating eco-friend Birkenstock dupes for more affordable prices.

1. Nae Darco Cork Vegan Double Strap Sandals

Materials: Portuguese cork, vegan materials, nickel-free buckles, recycled rubber

Best for: Sandals like Birkenstock Arizona

Ships to: Worldwide from Portugal

If you’re looking for vegan sandals like Birkenstock, check out Nae, a Portuguese vegan footwear brand creating stylish sandals ethically from sustainable materials.

The Darco sandals feature a sleek cork upper coated in an antimicrobial microfiber that prevents blisters and odors.

Along with the double strap, which mimics the classic Arizona style, Nae also creates unique sandal designs, including a one-strap band sandal, perfect for dressing up or down in the summer.

Also available to shop at Urban Kissed and Staiy.

Materials: Vegan materials, Blown EVA footbed

The sandals are comfortable for walking as they are designed with podiatrist-accepted LUVSEAT™ arch support.

Our editor Georges owns a pair, and he loved the comfortable footbed and the style of the Z-sliders.

A downside of Chaco’s is the fact they don’t prioritize the use of sustainable materials and are still using virgin EVA to create their sandals; however, they do offer a repair program for their sandals which reduces waste to landfills and extends the life of your sandals. So far, Chaco has saved over 266,000 sandals from being sent to landfills through its Rechaco program.

Freedom Moses creates one standard style that features the classic double strap, but the brand offers cool designs on its sliders.

One drawback of the brand is that they predominantly use plastic to create their footwear, and although you can recycle the sandals, it’s still relying on non renewables.

One drawback is that Scholl isn’t considered as sustainable as Birkenstock or other brands on this list. But if you’re looking for an orthopaedic sandal like Birkenstock, they’re definitely a good alternative.

Is Birkenstock sustainable?

Birkenstock does use a selection of natural materials, such as cork, leather, and natural rubber, but the brand doesn’t always prioritize using sustainable materials so we can’t directly call it a sustainable brands.

• The Biankina Marbella Sandal is a well crafted alternative to the Birkenstock Arizona made from all vegan materials

Sustainable lingerie differs from the classic mass-produced lingerie that’s often found on the market, as it’s produced in a way that is both environmentally friendly and ethical.

If you’re looking for sustainable lingerie, look for brands using eco-friendly materials like organic cotton, recycled materials, or bamboo.

It’s also essential to look for brands using production processes that minimize textile and chemical waste and pollution. In addition to being environmentally friendly, for a lingerie brand to be genuinely sustainable, the brand should produce its products in a fair and ethical way for the workers involved in its production. For example, ensuring workers are paid a fair wage and work in safe and healthy conditions.

There are a few key things you can look for to determine if a lingerie brand is genuinely sustainable:

1. Materials: Firstly, look for brands that use eco-friendly materials such as organic cotton, bamboo, or recycled polyester.
2. Production processes: Look for brands that use production processes that minimize waste and pollution, such as water conservation, recycling of textile scraps, use of natural dyes, and energy-efficient methods.
3. Ethical labor practices: Look for brands transparent about their supply chain and labor practices, and ensure that their workers are paid fair wages and work in safe conditions. An excellent way to check is to look for certifications such as Fair Trade, GOTS, or WRAP.
4. Sustainability initiatives: Look for brands that have specific initiatives to reduce their environmental impact and promote sustainability, such as recycling programs, take-back programs, or partnerships with external organizations that support sustainability.
5. Certifications: Look for brands that have third-party certifications, such as the Global Organic Textile Standard (GOTS) or Oeko-Tex. These certifications verify that the brand’s products are made with organic materials without harmful chemicals and produced environmentally and socially responsibly.

Stuck choosing between a pair of Rothys vs Allbirds? We’ve got you covered.

In this article we conduct a full brand comparison between Rothy’s shoes and Allbirds shoes, covering styles, materials, sustainability, price and more.

Let’s jump in.

About Allbirds

Allbirds is a San Fransisco-based sustainable shoe brand creating sneakers, running shoes, and ballet-style flats from sustainable materials.

The brand was founded in 2014 by New Zealander Tim Brown and San Franciscan Joey Zwillinger.

Since its launch, Allbirds has become one of the fastest-growing shoe brands worldwide, selling millions of pairs.

About Rothy’s

Like Allbirds, Rothy’s is also a San Fransico-based shoe brand, launched in 2016 by Stephen Hawthornthwaite and Roth Martin.

The brand is famous for its signature knitted style of ballet shoes, pumps, and lace-ups, created from recycled materials.

Since 2016, the popularity of Rothy’s has soared, thanks to gaining a fanbase amongst celebrities, including Meghan Markle. In 2021, Brazilian flip flop brand Havaianas acquired 49.9% of the company.

What materials do Allbirds use?

Allbirds are focused on using eco-friendly and natural materials in their shoes. The main materials Allbirds uses are:

? Merino Wool

Merino wool is the featured material of Allbirds sneakers, including wool runners and wool mizzles.

The wool Allbirds sources are muesling-free, ZQ certified Merino wool. ZQ is an organization that regulates and audits farmers and suppliers to ensure wool is held to high farming, land management, and animal welfare standards.

Merino wool is naturally soft, moisture-wicking, and thermoregulating. Plus, by using Merino wool, Allbirds can save up to 60% more energy than using synthetic materials.

? Eucalyptus Tree Fibers

Allbirds have created a renewable tree fiber from FSC certified Eucalyptus Trees. This fiber is knit into its signature styles, including the Tree Breezer, Tree runner, and Tree Dasher.

Thanks to the silky smooth properties of Eucalyptus tree fibers, Allbirds Tree Breezers are soft, breathable, and keep feet cool, minimizing odor.

? SugarCane Soles

Allbirds soles, known as SweetFoam®, are created from renewable Brazilian sugarcane combined with the world’s first carbon-negative green EVA foam.

While Allbirds opts for natural materials, Rothy’s uses recycled materials for its popular styles.

? Recycled Plastic Bottles

Rothy’s recycled plastic thread is spun from plastic bottles, otherwise destined for landfills. The plastic thread is then knit, using low waste technology, into its ballet flats and point shoes.

Using recycled polyester (plastic) saves vast amounts of energy and resources compared to the energy required to create virgin plastics.

Rothy’s trialed its recycling program in 2021, which allowed customers to send back their old Rothy’s to be recycled into new shoes. The recycling program is the brand’s first step toward a circular supply chain.

? Natural Rubber

Rothy’s women’s flat styles, including the point and ballet pump, feature a sole created from 9% natural and renewable rubber.

Allbirds sneakers fit true to size. We’ve tested the Tree Dashers and Tree Pipers and found that Allbirds fit well, and are comfortable for all day wear.

Allbirds Tree Breezers can run slightly on the small side, according to the Allbirds website.

Rothy’s ballet flats fit small to size, according to the reviews. However, customers recommend going up half a size for narrow feet and a full size for wider feet in the flat style.

We would consider Allbirds a sustainable brand. The company was awarded B Corporation status in 2016, which means the brand meets high environmental and ethical production standards.

Allbirds uses sustainable materials, including renewable and natural fabrics, and has a transparent supply chain.

Rothy’s is also a sustainable company. The brand uses sustainable and recycled materials to produce its shoes and reduces waste in its supply chain through sustainable practices.

The company operators production exclusively in its sustainable factory in Dongguan, China.

Allbirds make men’s and women’s shoes in many different styles, including lace up sneakers, ballet flats, slip on sneakers and running shoes.

Ecothes Reviewed: “Having worn the Tree Dasher model almost every day for a whole year, I’m a big fan of the Allbirds sneakers, and if you’re on your feet all day, I’d seriously recommend the Tree Dasher model.” – Bethany, Ecothes Founder

Both Rothy’s and Allbirds are creating great, high-quality sustainable shoes from sustainable materials. In my opinion, I’d personally go for Allbirds as they’re cheaper, better value for money and are super comfortable. Plus, I prefer that Allbirds uses natural fibers like wood fibers and wool over polyester (like Rothy’s).

About Allbirds

San Fransisco-based sustainable sneaker brand Allbirds launched in 2014 and so far have transformed the sustainable sneaker marketplace as we know it. Allbirds, founded by a New Zealand-native Tim Brown and San Francisco-based Joey Zwillinger, currently have their headquarters and flagship store in San Fransisco.

Until Allbirds, many eco-friendly sneakers were un-stylish or lacked the main features you want from a great pair of sneakers, including comfortable sole, breathable fabric.

However, when Allbirds launched their ever-popular Wool Runner, made from New Zealand superfine merino wool, it set the bar for other sustainable sneaker brands to follow.

About Vessi

Canadian brand Vessi launched in 2018 with the purpose to create a breathable but waterproof shoe that can be worn all day, in any weather, rain, snow, and shine.

Vessi is the brainchild of three Vancouver-based entrepreneurs Andy, Tony, Mikaella, who were tired of putting up with wet socks in the Vancouver rain.

Since 2018, the band has released six different waterproof models and two children’s styles. The brand is also completely vegan, creating its shoes from animal-free materials.

Is Allbirds Sustainable?

Since launching in 2014, Allbirds have been committed to being as sustainable as possible. They were awarded B Corporation status in 2016, which means they consider the impact of their business decisions on their employees, customers, community, supplies, and the environment.

Allbirds meet high ethical and environmental production standards to reduce environmental impact and ensure workers are paid a living wage and work in safe environments.

Allbirds are currently a carbon-neutral company; they offset all of the CO2 produced in their supply chain.

Is Vessi Sustainable?

On the Vessi website, they publish that by creating their shoes with vegan materials, the energy consumption is less than using animal-based materials.

Vessi’s packaging is 100% recyclable with zero use of plastic.

Vessi state they work only with trusted and certified manufacturing partners who align with their core values and sustainability goals. However, there is no information on Vessis’s website about its core values or sustainability goals, so this is just an empty statement.

Compared to Allbirds who publish their suppliers and factories, Vessi is not transparent about its partners, factories, or environmental impact.

Furthermore, Vessi hasn’t achieved B Corporation status, and due to the lack of transparency on their website, from a sustainability point of view, Allbirds have the upper hand.

What materials do Allbirds use?

Allbirds use eco-friendly materials and sustainable technology to produce their sneakers.

They source natural fibers that follow ethical and responsible standards, including the FSC certified Eucalyptus fibers, turned into their famous Tree Runners. In addition, Allbirds source only certified Merino wool for use in their wool runners; this wool is certified by groups monitoring animal welfare and environmental sustainability.

Even Allbird’s laces are eco-friendly; they’re made from 100% recycled plastic material to reduce the use of virgin plastic.

What materials does Vessi use?

Vessi uses 100% vegan, animal-free materials. The waterproof uppers in Vessi sneakers are created from Dyma-tex, a patented polyurethane PU material, which is 100% waterproof and breathable. This layer keeps your feet warm and dry.

Vessi uses water-based glues for their animal-free shoes compared to other glues often found in sneakers.

However, there is no further mention of other materials or whether Dyma-tex is made from recycled content.

How do Allbirds fit?

Allbirds fit true to size. We’ve personally tried both the Allbirds Tree Dashers and Allbirds Tree Pipers and agree that the fit is perfect.

However, they only come in full sizes, so if you’re in between sizes, Allbirds recommend sizing up.

Bethany, our Ecothes Editor, is in between sizes, and sized up on her pair of Tree Dashers are a perfect fit.

How do Vessi’s fit?

According to the reviews on Vessi’s website, the sneakers fit true to size however are on the slightly bigger side of the scale.

Overall though, Vessi sneakers fit well and are comfortable walking around all day.

If you’re a half size, Vessi recommends sizing down.

Are Allbirds sneakers good quality?

From personal experience, we can say that Allbirds are high-quality and long-lasting. We’ve had our pair of Tree Dashers for over a year, worn them almost every day, and they are still looking brand new. The sole is still bouncy and comfortable, and the upper part of the sneaker has held its shape well.

Allbirds are also machine washable, and can be cleaned easily to keep them looking clean and fresh.

Don’t just take out word for it; however, look at some of the Allbirds reviews, and you will see people raving about how comfortable they are.

Are Vessi sneakers good quality?

We haven’t personally tested Vessi sneakers; however, they get rave reviews on their website, with the everyday sneaker model receiving over three thousand five-star reviews.

Many reviews tout how comfortable Vessi sneakers are and that people love how waterproof the sneakers are.

Are Allbirds sneakers waterproof?

No, this is one of the only drawbacks of Allbirds sneakers; most of their sneakers are not water-resistant or waterproof. The Wool Runner Mizzles and Wool Dasher Mizzles styles are the best models to buy if you’re looking for water-resistant sneakers.

The Wool Dasher Mizzles have a bio-based shield water repellent coating, making them water-resistant, although wearing in heavy rain or puddles may get your feet wet.

Are Vessi sneakers Waterproof?

Yes. All Vessi sneaker models are waterproof, thanks to their patented Dyma-tex breathable layer. This layer has micro pored, which lets moisture out but stops water from getting in; this keeps your feet dry and breathable all day long.

What styles of shoe does Allbirds make?

Overall, it’s clear that there are pros and cons to each brand and choosing a winner between Vessi vs Allbirds was tough.

But, If you’re looking for a pair of sustainable sneakers, Allbirds are definitely the best option, as the lack of transparency around Vessi sneakers means we can’t really say if they’re truly as eco-friendly as they claim.

On the other hand, if you’re looking for vegan completely waterproof sneakers, Vessi have this covered. As Allbirds aren’t a vegan brand.

In our opinion, we would personally go for the Allbirds, as we know first hand the quality and comfort.

The post 17 Best Allbirds Alternatives – Shoes like Allbirds [2024] appeared first on Ecothes.

We usually take precautions as to what we expose our bodies to.

We eat healthily. We exercise. We analyze the ingredients in our skincare products.

Despite all the methods we take to lead a healthy life, can we say that we take the same precautions when choosing our underwear?

Our underwear need to be comfortable and breathable, but most of all free of any toxins and harsh chemicals.

To help you find your favorite pair of organic underwear, we’ve collected some of the best brands on the market making organic underwear using materials like organic cotton, bamboo, and other eco-friendly, and skin-friendly textiles.

You may have heard your mom saying that natural fibers like cotton are the best material for underwear because it’s breathable – and she’s right.

When choosing underwear, it’s essential you select breathable materials, as synthetic fabrics like nylon and spandex trap moisture and don’t allow your private areas to breathe, which can cause problems such as bacterial or yeast infections…yikes!

But the problem with cotton is that it is grown using toxic pesticides and fertilizers, meaning that conventional cotton isn’t as ‘natural’ as you’d think.

Organic cotton is, therefore, the best material for underwear, as it’s grown without pesticides or harmful chemicals, meaning its natural, non-toxic, and safe for your skin.

Other natural and organic fibers like bamboo or hemp are also great for underwear, as they’re moisture-wicking and breathable, like organic cotton.

Along with being nontoxic, organic cotton saves up to 91% water compared to conventional cotton. With organic cotton requiring only 180 cubic meters of blue water (fresh groundwater and surface water from boreholes, rivers, and lakes) per tonne of organic cotton compared to 2,120 cubic meters required per tonne of conventional cotton.

Let’s jump in.

About Baabuk

Baabuk is an ethical and sustainable shoe company based in Switzerland crafting slippers and shoes from responsibly sourced wool.

About Allbirds

San Fransisco-based sustainable shoe brand Allbirds is a household name for sustainable shoes. Founded by New-Zealander Tim Brown, and San Franciscan Joey Zwillinger, the company launched in 2014 with its signature shoe, the Wool Runner, made from New Zealand Merino Wool.

Eight years later, the brand has expanded its wool shoe collection to feature wool sneakers, wool running shoes, and more.

Allbirds focuses on creating its shoes as eco-friendly as possible and uses responsibly sourced wool to produce its shoes.

Baabuks wool sneakers are ethically made in Portugal. The wool is locally sourced in the Portuguese region of Serra da Estrela, where the wool is felted in the local Burel factory. The felted wool then goes on to be assembled into Baabuks comfortable sneakers in a factory outside of Porto.

For Baabuks wool slippers, wool is sourced from New Zealand, and the slippers are assembled ethically in the Baabuks Nepal factory.

Baabuks soles are durable rubber that offers resistance to water, grease, and extreme temperatures.

Overall, Baabuk receives good reviews of their shoes, with an average rating of 4.5/5. Note this does include some reviews of Baabuk wool slippers combined in this rating.

Are Allbirds Sneakers good quality?

We can speak from personal experience that Allbirds shoes are of good quality. Having worn the AllbirdsTree Dashers almost every day for a year, they still look brand new with little wearing on the soles.

While we have not personally tried the Wool Runners, the Allbirds signature shoe gets great reviews on the Allbirds website, averaging a 4.6/5 with over two thousand reviews.

Drawbacks of Baabuk

One of the main negatives about Baabuk is the company’s returns policy, as the brand will charge you to return shoes to them. In addition, Baabuk states that customized products & clearance items are not eligible for refunds or exchanges.

Another drawback is that while Baabuk shoes are coated in water-repellant wax and wool in natural water repellant, Baabuk shoes aren’t entirely waterproof and currently don’t have any completely waterproof styles on offer.

Drawbacks of Allbirds sneakers

One drawback of the Wool Runners is that the shoe isn’t waterproof. However, allbirds have released a waterproof wool sneaker called the Wool Mizzle, so if you’re looking for a water-resistant wool shoe, we recommend looking at the Wool Mizzle instead.

Another drawback of the Wool Runner is that the shoe runs slightly small, as indicated on the Allbirds website, so definitely size up if you are between sizes.

How does Baabuk fit?

Baabuk doesn’t specify whether their sizes are true to size or not. Some reviews say that Baabuk shoes can run slightly narrow; however, this may vary depending on your size.

Baabuk does offer a great size finding tool, which tells you which size it recommends; you can discover the size chart here.

Baabuk Urban Wooler comes with an elastic lace feature, allowing you to slip their shoes on and off easily.

The only slight drawback is that the elastic laces can’t be tied as tightly as you would with normal laces, but there is some adjustment available.

How do Allbirds fit?

While we haven’t tried the Allbirds Wool Runners, our Ecothes editors have personally tested the Allbirds Tree Dasher and Tree Piper styles and found the shoes to be well made and comfortable for wearing all day long.

According to reviews on the website, the sizing for the Wool Runners says that the shoes tend to run slightly on the smaller side. So if you’re a half size, it’s best to size up.

Is Baabuk Vegan?

No, Baabuk sneakers aren’t vegan as they are made with wool.

Is Allbirds Vegan?

No, currently, Allbirds doesn’t offer any vegan shoe styles.
