The Canvas Chukka Grip is the perfect fall shoe if you are looking for something to prevent slipping as we move into cooler and wetter weather, without sacrificing a sleek and versatile appearance.

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.

Features

  • The Chukka Grip is made from a cotton canvas upper with an anti-slip, non-marking rubber sole that utilizes zig-zag grooves and grippy textures

  • The Canvas Chukka Grip is completely vegan

  • The Canvas Chukka Grip does not have any water-resistance or waterproof properties

  • The sole and grip is most ideal for urban environments. While the sole prevents slipping, it does not have deep enough lugs to provide support on softer, more unstable terrains and trails

  • While the actual shoe itself is zero-drop, Lems updated insoles have a small drop of 1.5 mm. The insole can be removed to allow for complete zero drop

  • The total stack height for the The Canvas Chukka Grip is 13 mm which compromises on ground feel and flexibility 
Sizing

Lems recommends taking your regular size in these, but some customers go half a size up.

Lems uses Unisex American sizing, so a men’s 8.5 and a women’s 10 is the same shoe, with both sizes on the label. This also means that they fit average for men and generous for women in terms of width and volume (based on an average woman’s foot being narrower and lower volume than an average man’s foot, so your mileage may vary).

Fit Notes:

  • We do not expect the Chukka Grip to stretch out very much.
  • Lems shoes suit a triangle footprint shape best: they are wide in the forefoot and taper towards a sleek fit around the heel.
  • What kind of volume: the Chukka Grip suits average to high volume for women and average volume for men (see note above)
  • Notes on width: the Chukka Grip fits average to wide for women and average width for men (see note above)
  • The fit in only a tiny bit adjustable in the desert boot/chukka style lacing
  • You can also adjust the fit by wearing with or without the optional 1.5mm drop insole
  • The toebox shape suits sloping feet the best, this may account for why some folks go half a size up
  • Width in the forefoot area is: centered.
Ground feel

The groundfeel and flexibility are low in this model.

The materials and thickness of the sole means that they focus on comfort, cushion, and grip over barefoot style mobility and feedback. This makes them a great pick for people transitioning to barefoot shoes for the first time, and those with more experience who are looking to optimize comfort for long walks or workdays.

Care

You can use a waterproofing spray if desired before wearing these, to prevent the canvas from getting dirty and extend the life of the shoes. However it is not absolutely necessary, especially if you enjoy a lived-in look.

Spot clean with gentle soap diluted in water as needed. Do not wash in the laundry. Air-dry.

Store out of direct sunlight, as the sun can bleach the fabric over time.

Best uses

The Chukka Grip with Slip Resistant cushy soles and their vegan all-black design are fantastic for workplace use, such as FOH in the service industry or in casual work environments where you are standing and walking.

They have a relaxed stylish design that’s lovely for around town in spring and fall, too. You’ll find them to be lightweight and a dream to wear all day long.
