Sizing
Lems indicates that the Laguna fits true to size.
Lems offers this model in American women's sizing only. For a higher volume fit better suited to men's feet, try the Drifter.
Fit Notes:
- We expect the canvas to soften with wear but not too stretch out very much
- Lems shoes have a triangle footprint shape
- The Laguna fits low to medium volume feet best
- The forefoot is medium wide and the heel is fitted
- You can wear without the optional insole for more room, or add a second insole if your size is too loose
- There are no laces to adjust the fit but there are small elastic areas to hold your foot securely
- Toebox shape suits a variety of feet, with the best fit to mountain and plateau shapes
- Width in the forefoot area is: centered
- We recommend going for a slightly more snug fit than usual in slip-on models for a secure fit, so you only want a smidge of extra room, such as 5mm rather than 10mm.
Ground Feel
As with most Lems, these have a mild ground feel and focus on giving you the benefits of a zero drop shoe with a wide toebox while giving you a fitting and cushioned walking experience on hard city surfaces.
For folks new to minimal shoes or who spend a lot of time on their feet, these are a great option. The stack height (amount of material between you and the ground) and the quality of that material combine to give you a little sensory feedback and a little flexibility without overdoing it.
Care
We recommend spot cleaning only for the Laguna. A paste of laundry powder and water can help lift stains. For extra protection, you can treat these before wearing them with a water proofer to help dirt and spilled coffee roll off like rain. Reapply every so often.
Best Uses
The Laguna slip-ons can be your indoor shoes, your beach shoes, your errand shoes, or your accompaniment to a picnic in the park this summer.
Their convenient easy on-off and casual style will win you over and keep you reaching for them every day of the week!
