Women's Wool Piper Go

About this find

The Allbirds Women's Wool Piper Go is a low-top lace-up sneaker with a textured, knit-like upper and a smooth, rounded toe box. Six round eyelets with grommet-style rings run along the lacing, and flat woven-style laces tie in a neat bow. The silhouette is familiar, but the details give it a look of its own.

The chunky, platform-style midsole is the first thing you notice. Its smooth, rounded profile gives the shoe a bit of height and a sturdy, grounded shape. A contrasting suede-like panel runs along the lower edge of the upper near the sole, adding a change of texture and a clean line of color.

Small touches finish the design nicely. A pull loop at the heel makes it simple to tug the shoe on, and the rounded collar opening has a finished edge trim for a tidy look around the ankle. The knit-like texture and suede-like panel give the pair visual interest even with a plain outfit.

This pair suits relaxed outfits, from cropped denim to a cotton dress. The flat woven-style laces show off nicely against the knit-like upper, so tie them in a bow you like. Keep the rest of your outfit simple and let the shoes stand out. The platform-style sole adds a playful shape.
