I have 2 pair and will be getting more. They are great. I don't cycle in
them and my Houston winters won't put them to much of a test. But about
cycling - no, I can't imagine riding in them for any appreciable distance.
Get a pair for comfort and every day wear, they are fabulous for
But not to worry. While merino wool is from merino sheep, boiled wool is
not from boiled sheep.
However, boiled wool does come from sheep.

Boiled wool is wool that is, well, boiled. Boiled and agitated, it both shrinks
and felts. Combined with the natural lanolins in the wool (which can be added

Merino wool is a soft wool from merino sheep.

I’ve owned a pair of Allbirds for about a year. While they are easily the most
comfortable sneakers I’ve ever owned, I don’t enjoy riding in them. The sole is
a bit too squishy, and I sorta feel like I’m pedaling in sand. They also
attract dirt and road grime, but you can easily wash them.
