[RBW] Re: Allbird wool shoes? Your experiences?
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 that, but I advise something else for cycling.

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 as well), it is highly wind resistant, hearty, and warm. 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. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.

Not sure if you can get away with the same, but I wear these blundestones at the office (http://www.blundstone.com/shop/stout-brown-premium-leather-slip-on-boots-mens-style-260). Covers my feet from cold,wind, and wet. And I can wear them into the office with some dress slacks and a blazer. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.

Thanks for the input! *I thought these would be very nice for casual wear. I went ahead and got the since they have a 30 refund policy even if they are dirtied and damaged from use.* Winters here means 0-45F Usually upper 30's/low 40's daytime/20's nighttime from Dec-March. So maybe wool socks with sandals might do the trick. *What is the diff between merino socks and boiled wool?* On to dress shoes: These days I am trying to get away from shoes that dig into my hallus at every step, and rub along the sides of foot. Leather always rubs/breaks over big toe/joint. Not every wide width shoe has foot friendly leather that breaks over foot in a friendly manner. I have seen some interesting looking minimalist dress shoes, but the prices are very expensive. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.
