These are my AllBirds after 1 year of travel. I've been looking to repair the soles, but it doesn't seem that easy. I want shoes that ventilate well and are good for a lot of walking.

These started showing wear after 3 months of just city walking.

Any recommendations? I'm posting here because there isn't much on the shoe communities.

Merrell Moab Speed 2 if you're looking for a shoe with high heel drop. They ventilate excellently, have good grip, and are very comfortable.

I've heard others mention Merrell before. I'll check them out, thanks!

I have the moab 3 mid height as work boots and the 2's for everyday use, I can confirm they're fantastic all-around.

That is either what I am currently wearing or very close.

A pair lasts me about four years, but I'm a sedentary fool.

Get a cobbler to glue more rubber on.

Unfortunately I brought them to the only place around and they said they couldn't do anything. I've been looking at other services and found a mail in one that charges $120 for a full repair, so I'm keeping my options open.
