Lems incorporated several different materials to provide texture, breathability, durability and maximum comfort. The detailed design can be styled with a classic skate culture look, a contemporary dadcore or normcore aesthetic, or a lean towards a retro preppy vibe.
Features
- The Chillum is not Vegan friendly and and consists of a mix of suede, polyester/cotton canvas and wool (Blackjack colorway uses vegan microfiber instead of suede)
-
The Chillum has no water resistant or waterproof properties and so would not serve well in any wet conditions
-
The Chillum has a cork insole with anti-bacterial properties preventing bad odors
- Zero drop if worn without the optional insole
-
The Chillum has a stack height if 13.8 mm
- Wide Toe Box: made on the the Lems Natural-Shape™ Last, these have the same toebox width as the other Lems models we carry, which is enough room to accommodate toe spreaders for most of our customers.
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.
