Lems has an exciting new addition to their Fall 2023 line with the Boulder Boot Grip, a fully waterproof leather boot for year-round use.

Based on feedback they got about the traditional "Waterproof Boulder Boot" model (now discontinued), they have improved the sizing and fit as well as the grip when designing this new model. They also added a comfy collar and quick lacing hooks!

Features:

  • Waterproof: fully-waterproof membrane layer
  • Gusseted Tongue
  • All-Terrain/Slip-Resistant Rubber Outsole (non-marking)
  • Full-grain oiled leather uppers
  • Comfy fabric collar
  • Quick lacing Speed Hooks for a secure fit and easy on-off
  • Lightweight and flexible compared to conventional leather/trail boots
  • Zero drop: zero drop if worn without the insole
  • Foot-shaped: wide toe box
  • Medium ground feel: wear with or without the insole 

While this shoe itself is zero drop, as of June 2024 the optional insoles have a small drop (1.5mm for the Minimal Cork insole or 3.5mm for Adventure Poly insole). You can see their breakdown of which models have which insoles here.

  • Lems suggests that the insoles compress over time, so you may not notice a drop after the shoes are broken in.
  • If you prefer not to use an insole that has a drop, you can wear these without any insoles, or try a zero drop insole such as our Alpaca Insoles.

Sizing

Now fits true to size according to Lems! Occasionally our customers go up half a size for a roomier fit.

Lems uses unisex US sizing: each boot is labelled with both a men's and women's size.

Fit Notes:

  • Leather naturally stretches and moulds to the shape of your feet with wear
  • Triangular footprint shape
  • Medium volume fit (width and height of shoe)
  • Average width model
  • Laces help adjust the fit around the midfoot
  • Sloping/mountain toebox shape
  • Width in the forefoot area is centered


Ground Feel

The Boulder Boot Grip offers medium groundfeel and flexibility.

The EVA foamy midsole and slip-resistant rubber outsole are cushiony and comfortable, and once the leather breaks in they will bend and flex as you navigate your terrain.

The Boulder Boot Grip is suitable for most customers who are new to barefoot shoes, and for experienced minimal shoe folks seeking a waterproof boot that is zero drop and grippy. If you are new to barefoot shoes, seek out education on transitioning safely.


Care

 

Lems recommends using Nikwax or Otterwax products to maintain your waterproof leather boots. You can wipe off leather with a damp cloth to clean them in between treatments. Keep leather boots away from heat sources as dry leather can crack.

 

Best Uses

For those who loved the original Boulder Boot and are looking to upgrade, the Boulder Boot Grip are a dream to wear! They retain all the best features you remember and add highly requested better grip along with other thoughtful design additions.

If you want a waterproof boot that's comfortable and capable in all conditions, these are a fantastic model to try!

    Discounted Flat Rate according to Region via Canada Post

    We are introducing Discounted Flat Rates for customers based on where you live in Canada.

    Once your cart total reaches $100* or $200, a flat rate will be applied to your check-out based on your postal code.

    The flat rates include: free, $5, $10, and $15 (based on your cart total and where you live)

    *if your cart total is under $100, regular Expedited shipping will be applied

    Why the new shipping rates?

    This new tiered flat rate system was created based on a need for our small business to catch up with rising costs of shipping, whilst also giving our customers a better shipping rate than if they were to pay at full cost. To make this fairer for everyone, we created these flat rates based on the region of the shipping address, as shipping costs are determined by region.
