The Swift in Black Leather

Our sleek and modern black slip-on sneaker is crafted of premium leather. The thick streetwear-inspired sole and streamlined design elevate this everyday sneaker. Back with a new and improved fit, we added an antibacterial shock-absorbing insole, side elastic for extra stretch, and new cotton-canvas lining to amplify comfort. The sneaker’s heel is soft and flexible, so you’ll never feel any digging. The shoe is complete with our signature gold Birdies logo on the backtab.

  • 30mm streetwear-inspired outsole
  • Side elastic for more flexibility
  • Shock absorbing PerfX removable insole
  • Premium leather
  • Cotton-canvas lining
  • No-slip rubber sole

The Swift fits true to size. If you have a wide foot, are in between sizes or would like to wear socks, we recommend going up a half size.

  • Free Returns on U.S. Orders
  • We offer a 30-day fit guarantee so you can make sure your Birdies are just right. If you’re not completely satisfied with your shoes, we will accept a return or exchange within 30 days of the purchase date, no questions asked.

This is my second pair in black. I also have them in tan! They are the most comfortable shoe I have ever worn! I actually have 3 other pair of Birdies.

Extremely comfortable right out of the box. Most comfortable sneakers I've ever had and they have tons of padding.

Comfier than the previous version for sure but you still need to break them in a bit. I really appreciate that Birdies still keeps coming out with these more formal sneakers.
