How the fits differ
Allbirds
mixed
Most wearers find Allbirds roughly true to size in length, but because the brand offers only whole sizes, half-size wearers commonly report needing to round down, especially in the wool styles that loosen after break-in.
Rothy's
true to size
Most wearers find Rothy's true to size, with a snug knit fit that relaxes and molds to the foot after a short break-in.
