So sorry to hear of your woes! I’d reach out to Allbirds directly with your story/ query. I’d be surprised if you don't get good advice or a replacement pair.

I washed all three pairs this weekend. </p> <p>It does seem that the wool runners washed better than the tree's. The grey look the best but maybe that's obvious as they are darker and a marled grey. The cream wool runners look cleaner but a little shaggy (they aren't quite dry yet so jury is out). I actually never liked the cream ones so much -- give me optic white or give me grey! </p> <p>But I bought the cream before the tree runners came out. In the summer I want optic white sneakers that are cool and ventilated.&nbsp;</p> <p>I've never heard of Sard! I do need to still use a magic eraser on the soles, as those didn't get clean at all. Not sure I can use magic eraser on the material, I fear it would be too harsh?</p> <p>Dyeing-- that's what I'm thinking with a soak in bluing agent. When I first got the tree runners, they were a tad on the bluish- white side already. Just not sure if that'd remove the actual sooty stains where my five toes appear....&nbsp;</p> <p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/cleaning-white-allbird-tree-runners#post-2094071 Mon, 20 Jan 2020 23:35:41 +0000 Sal 2094071@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have tree runners (in a pale blue).&nbsp; They are still clean but disappointing to hear they don't wash brilliantly.&nbsp; The wool runners that we have wash well.</p> <p>I guess I would try Sard (wondersoap), maybe magic eraser on those spots - failing all this I might dye them? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/cleaning-white-allbird-tree-runners#post-2094070 Mon, 20 Jan 2020 23:33:20 +0000 Marmee 2094070@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The same thing happened to my white tree runners worn five days in NYC. &nbsp;I washed a couple of times, and now just wear with jeans doing errands. &nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/cleaning-white-allbird-tree-runners#post-2094056 Mon, 20 Jan 2020 22:13:28 +0000 shiny 2094056@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hi all! Haven't posted in awhile but I have a Cleaning Conundrum, related to my white Allbird Tree Runners.&nbsp;</p> <p>We just got back from three weeks in Australia (one week in Adelaide area and two weeks in Sydney) and my white tree runners got pretty sooty. I wasn't running around in the fires rescuing koalas, just walking around normally, but pretty sure this is sooty dirt.&nbsp;</p> <p>As soon as possible upon returning, I popped them in the wash following the Allbirds recommendations, and it didn't make a dent. So I next sprayed them down with stain remover, and soaked in Oxyclean. That helped a bit, but there's still sooty stains ... specifically in the outline of my five toes!</p> <p>I know you can't use bleach (will turn the shoes pink). Has anyone tried bluing agent? Or have any other suggestions (short of buying another $95 pair)?&nbsp; </p>
