LEMS SHOES

The LEMS PHILOSOpHY

The Lems philosophy it’s simple – shoes should be designed using the bare minimum. They should fit the foot’s anatomy, while allowing your feet to move like you’re wearing nothing at all.

In 2008, Lems’ creator, Andrew Rademacher, reached his end point searching for shoes that fit the natural shape of the foot. Starting out by dissecting his favorite running shoes and cutting out the extra, unnecessary material, Andrew decided to learn the art and science of shoemaking in his own way. He studied shoe fitting, last construction, and pattern making so that he would be able to design his shoes to fit like no other on the market.

Andrew began to realize that the big shoe brands had it all wrong. Shoes should be built around the natural shape of the human foot, and not the other way around. This meant that a shoe should be widest at the forefoot and toes, while allowing for full flexibility and unrestricted movement.

After three years of research, countless hours of design and dozens of prototypes, Andrew’s unwavering focus finally paid off. In September 2011, Lems released its first product – the Primal. Though the company has come a long way since that original design, Andrew continues to study his art while staying true to his mission of making naturally fitting footwear that allows your feet the freedom to be just as nature intended.

Through their design focus, Lems shoes emphasise proper fit, comfort and functionality without unnecessary material or marketing gimmicks.

The wide toe box provides ample space for your toes to spread out naturally, ensuring maximum comfort even during extended hikes. With a durable, high-traction sole, these boots offer excellent stability and grip on a variety of surfaces. The Boulder Boot's minimalist design means you can confidently tackle the elements while maintaining a sleek and stylish look. Elevate your outdoor experiences with the Lems Waterproof Boulder Boot, the perfect combination of form and function for the modern adventurer.

The waterproof features include:
  • 100% full-grain leather upper with an oiled finish, that is pre-treated to be water repellent. 
  • Breathable waterproof membrane that stops water from penetrating into the boot, while still allowing the heat from your feet to escape.
  • Moisture wicking lining. 
  • Gusseted tongue so you can wear your laces loose or tight and still be protected from the elements.

In the redesign process Lems reinforced everything - from a thicker gauge thread to an overall stronger outer construction, making this is the toughest pair of Lems yet. The full-grain leather to help improve boot longevity and the injection blown rubber sole is what makes Lems incredibly lightweight and flexible. The Waterproof Boulder Boot is a versatile choice for hiking and backpacking adventures near and far.
