Features
-
The Chillum Grip is not Vegan friendly and uses a full-grain leather for the upper
-
If treated with some leather treatment, the Chillum Grip could serve as a slightly water-resistant shoe but is not marketed as one
-
The Chillum Grip consists of a full-grain leather upper with a pure polyester lining and a slip-resistant rubber outsole
-
The Chillum Grip has a cork insole with anti-bacterial properties preventing bad odors
-
Zero drop if worn without the optional insole
-
The Chillum Grip has a stack height if 13.0 mm
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
The Chillum Grip is expected to fit true to size and as the leather loosens up, the shoe is expected to mold to your feet for added comfort.
Ground feel
The Chillum Grip delivers a balanced barefoot experience with medium groundfeel, moderate flexibility, and a 13 mm stack height for added comfort. Its slip-resistant rubber outsole provide cushioning and stability, making it well-suited for a range of terrain. As the leather upper breaks in, the boot becomes even more flexible and adaptable to your movement.
Ideal for both barefoot shoe newcomers and seasoned minimal footwear enthusiasts, the Boulder Boot Grip offers a zero-drop platform and grippy traction. It's a versatile option for those easing into minimalist footwear, though beginners should take time to learn about transitioning safely to avoid injury.
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
The Chillum Grip is designed for versatility, offering excellent traction in a range of environments thanks to its full-rubber outsole with siping grooves. Whether you're navigating slick urban streets or unpredictable outdoor terrain, this shoe provides confident, comfortable footing in any setting.
