[@mckingery21]

I would love to see if Xero has started advertising accurate weights, I had a pair of their sandals that were just shy of twice as heavy as advertised on the website and heavier than my tevas. I'd love to know if their boots are the same. Weight is a sin in my book for a lightweight minimalist barefoot company to misrepresent. Also, the belleville mini-mil is a common work boot in the barefoot world and the one that I use. I would love to see that and any competition for that chopped up.

I’d be interested in seeing more barefoot boots compared. I’d also love to see Patagonia’s $450 bison boot cut in half.

[@georgerebovich3758]

I transitioned to LEMS footwear about a year ago and am a real believer in them. I own a pair of the leather Boulders and look forward to trying the Summits. The Boulder criticisms ring true but at age 76 I don’t put them through the same paces as someone much younger. I initially went to LEMS to work on a bunion that had been developed over the years. That’s working itself out. For old timers like me, I’ve found that the zero drop, wide toe box, flexible footwear has other benefits. The aches and pains from my lower back to knees to feet have either gone away or are much alleviated. Yes, it does take some getting used to walking the way nature intended. So, if you’re new to this kind of footwear you may need to build up to wearing them all day by starting with an hour or two at first. Slowly, my feet are regaining their natural shape and they are strengthening, as well. The LEMS footwear allows you to walk close to how nature intended.

[@Baba44203]

If you like the original boulders but want a little more traction then get the summits. I'm a younger guy than you but am starting to develop foot and leg problems and I couldn't agree more. The lems have been a game changer for my mortons neuroma pain.

[@AEVMU]

How's the underfoot padding/protection? A failed toe surgery left me needing decent cushioning on my right foot. Love zero drop and wide tow boxes though.

[@tylerschmelzer1565]

I'd love a barefoot February! I'm a mechanic and i bought the Boulder boots a year ago and all my other boots are resting in the closet since. More companies need to get on the more barefoot styled, open toe box styled work boot. Just picked up these summit boots, really excited to see how they hold up using them as a work boot.

[@perkulant4629]

Are the new summits as good in your opinion? I’m torn on which one to try.

[@tylerschmelzer1565]

@Perkulant hello, they are great in a comfort aspect. If you're using them for any kind of work involving slip hazards, unfortunately I would not recommend. For some reason they are like ice skates when wet on concrete, tile, anything like that. They are great for some things, but my line of work they aren't going to be an every day boot. I ordered some jk 300s for work, these will be casual or yard work boots.

[@tylerschmelzer1565]

@Perkulant they do feel much more durable however than the Boulder boot and hold their shape better. The soles should last longer also. But I like and wear them both equally.

[@ad-re9bf]

@@tylerschmelzer1565 how is the toebox? I heard the summits are significantly less roomy than the regular boulders

[@tylerschmelzer1565]

[@benreeve6094]

Someday you should do a series on hiking boots. There’s so many interesting things to cover: - different styles for different purposes (through hiking, day hiking, trail running, off-trail/trail work, approach and mountaineering) - different shapes (pros and cons of low vs high top shoes) - can trail runners do it all like people say? - lots of interesting materials and construction methods - boots meant to mimic sneaker styling, are they any good? I would love to see it ;D

[@jakobc1998]

I love a good barefoot and/or zero drop shoe, I'd be stoked if you did a series on the different options out there. I have the waterproof bouder boot already and some old merrel trail glove 4s that could do with replacing, the more info I have the better.

[@savagewalks]

I would love to see Barefoot February! There are several mitusa options to look into, not to mention Vivobarefoot, they have really interesting Wild Hide leathers, and a hiking boot series using Michelin rubber outsoles that I sure would love to hear your thoughts on. It seems like one of the most aggressive and durable rubber outsole designs to date!

[@Call23456]

I’ve got a pair of the vivos with the esc sole The have mega grip Toe box isn’t as wide as I would like tbh But the leather feels nice wears well but ground feel is reduced a lot

[@bw3126]

Just picked up the nylon grey Boulder summit. As someone who’s owned both, these are not meant to replace the original Boulder. In my opinion the summit is meant for a different user. The summits strike a balance of still having a wide toe box like the original, but have more of a sneaker boot style, which is increasingly popular. The nylon version is a great everyday wear boot for three seasons, and looks a little less clown shoe-ish than the original Boulder. The summits are more versatile in my opinion as well. They will serve much better as a hiking boot/outdoor boot/light work boot, and should be a little warmer in colder months as you are much farther off the ground compared to the original. The trade off is just that.. the summit is more of a traditional sneaker/boot, just with a wider toe box. I like the balance and compromise.. great for people like myself who need the wide toe box, but don’t really want the “barefoot” thin sole.

[@McFood42]

The plaid lining is one of my favorite things about the Boulders, Lem's really should have it be an customizable option on all their boots though

[@jenniferstephenson]

I have a pair of the original gray Boulders and the flannel lining is my favorite too!

[@hiddenleaf414]

The Lems Boulder Boot Leather Mid is my most worn boot ever. Awesome fit and really lets your feet splay out comfortably while still providing support where it needs to be.

[@FinC1_]

I'd love a barefoot february. Boots are really interesting but I can't casually wear something with a high heel and shank. These lems look pretty great.

[@jacksonjarvis4988]

I wore a pair of original Boulder boots on a 260 mile trek through the Himalayas… twice! They not only held up to glaciers, rock scrambling, river crossings, and desert in Nepal and Tibet, they also accompanied me up 4 14ks in Colorado as well! More solid than their separate parts would lead you to believe. My estimation is that it’s due to the fact that they encourage a light step and more conscious movement when compared to a more “traditional” boot. Great video, love your stuff. Recently inspired me to cut apart my Reebok Classic Leathers after they wore out and was impressed with their quality. Surprised you haven’t done that one yet!

[@giraffchen_]

Boulders are the first pair of boots I bought based on one of your videos. I definitely wear them as much as any other boots in my collection. Wear them way more than any sneakers I have. Solid purchase, will look into these, as well.

[@Baba44203]

I got a pair of these when they came out recently, I absolutely love them. My only wish is that Lems made some boots that weren't so minimalist barefoot, but still had the natural shaped toe area. These are much closer to a normal boot than other lems I've tried tho so they are my current top pick for daily wear.

[@MindfulProgramming]

take a look at Keen Cincinnati. It is resole-able, foot-shaped, slip-resistant, and has waterproof and/or safety-toe versions. they offer other great foot shaped shoes, but this is their only resolable model

[@Baba44203]

@@MindfulProgramming My hiking boots are Keen MOAB2's, I agree keens are the best rugged durable mass produced boot on the market for wide feet. I think I have tried the cinncinati before and it was pretty good for a work boot. Great suggestion. These lems are more of the casual, outdoor slipper version of a wide boot. They're so comfortable, but the lems would be a terrible work boot. The Lems are for comfort first and foremost, not for work, protection or long term durability repairability.

[@lenrehard6722]

The plaid lining is one of my favorite parts of these boots.

[@benstanfill363]

I didn't buy into the barefoot hype originally, but I bought a cheap pair of barefoot shoes and I love them. The zero drop, natural shape, and wide toe boxes are now something I look for in every shoe. The minimalist sole is nice for walking on light trails, but since so much of my life is on concrete I prefer a little more padding.

[@adamtheduell]

YES. Please do Barefoot February. I'd love to see you review Lems Outlander boots too if you haven't already.

[@Riname-K]

Personally I would’ve liked to have seen the Summit with a thicker layer of the rubber outsole but compensated with a deeper tread for a more aggressive grip on outdoor surfaces. I don’t quite care for the water resistance and would be happy to see water draining grommets, but the former is what I would like the most. Still a “improvement” over the Boulder boots in terms of versatility which is great. I like zero drop footwear but I do not like how thin the sole is with most market options, coming from a hiking and recreational shooting perspective and the Summit is a step forward.

[@super_slo]

Barefoot February sounds awesome - just bought my first Lems 2 days ago, loving them so far.

I got the Xero Denver boot and I immediately noticed that it's by far the most comfortable boot I've ever worn.

The wearability and comfort just makes it so far superior to my redwings and thursday boots.

I'd definitely be interested in more barefoot reviews, especially any kind of boots that might work in construction. I recently got some Birkenstock shoes which make my feet feel way better than either my Red Wing 202s or my Thorogood American Heritage moc toes. The challenge as I see it is that no one seems to make anything that would work in construction with regards to puncture resistance or with the kind of support you need when working on ladders (I prefer steel shank for this to prevent back pain). The only "work boot" I saw was a hand made one costing over 800 GBP or around $900-$1000? Nah, that ain't happening.

Maybe not a barefoot February but like a foot shaped February. Just boots that actually are shaped like feet, whether they’re zero drop or not. Personally I’d couldn’t care less about the difference between a teeny tiny drop and a zero drop shoe, but being able to spread my toes out in something that’s not a pair of skeletoes sounds amazing. I’ve never had foot shaped shoes but the idea sounds great and I love wearing boots

I have my first pair with the sole worn down almost too far, but the rest of the boot is fine; been thinking of getting to a cobbler and having a layer of rubber glued on, see if I can get more life out of them. I hadn't really thought of the Summit, mostly because I have the collection of Boulders, and I wasn't thrilled about having any drop at all, but I'll have to consider it, maybe later this year as I wear down what I have now.

I love the idea of a waterproof, grippy boulder boot, but I don't like it at all that it's not true zero drop and I don't like the overall look, especially the two different tones of rubber on the side part of the sole. I wouldn't be surprised at all if some of this is ironed out in future iterations.

Very odd timing I just got this same boot a few days ago

Dudeeee…. I purchased the LEMS Boulder waterproof boots based on your earlier video that they were super comfy. And I love them!

It is the tendons that start stiffening up from lack of use and have to be stretched. When I broke my wrist, I had to work on stretching them because of 8 weeks of non movement they stiffened, and I could barely move my wrist , that's most likely what you felt in your feet / ankle from wearing heeled boots for so long it stiffened / shrank the tendons slightly and you had to stretch and loosen them up when your foot was flat

Would love to see you cut test and cut open Lems’ new Boulder Boot Grip.

I'd love a video series on the most comfortable boots/shoes for work. I'm sold on the Keen Braddock's since I need a durable soft tow that is slip resistant. I don't need a heavy duty boot.

Barefoot February sounds amazing! I run mainly in Altras and have been looking at Boots that have a more minimal profile but still have the style of a boot.
