Bahe Rediscover VS Lems Outlander Toe to Toe/Best Barefoot Hiking Boot/Best Minimal Hiking Boot

Today we bring you a battle between what have become our favorite "barefoot" or minimal hiking boots. The Outlander from Lems has long been on top for us, but when the Bahe Rediscover came along we couldn't deny how much we enjoyed it on our feet and how often we keep coming back to it. Today we'll discuss various aspects of the boots and see if the Bahe has what it takes to truly dethrone the Outlander as our favorite hiking boot, time stamps and affiliate links below.

Masterfully presented man! Professional work 👏👏

As I only have used the outlander as a workboot, and by the specs still will, I still want to give the bahe a try. That extra toe room is calling. Thanks for the review we all needed.

I have been wearing the outlanders for maybe 8-9 months and have never gotten more compliments on a shoe. Also have gone on decent trail runs in them and hikes and they do great. They do run small as all lems seem to. Half size up for all lems unless they have a narrow toebox like the mesa then its a full size up. My only real gripe with lems is their laces. Always too short. Had to outright replace my boulder summit laces. They were unusably short.

Two very nice offerings, I'd go with the rediscover based on toe box, but I like them both. Thanks for the comparative analysis, a perfect pairing.

I was so excited when i received the rediscover...i ordered the same size as usual for me and it was waay too big. But more important, it really really hurt when walking. Every time i flex the toes the stiffness of the material hurt my skin, i had to send them back, sadly. Hope they will fix this stiffness problem
