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 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.

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.

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!

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.

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.

A couple of months ago I had a little extra money and bought a pair lems waterproof boulder shoes. They’re a tad different than the ones you showed here and personally these boots have changed my life. No more back pain, no more foot pain and they’re the best boots I’ve had yet.

I've taken them on many hikes and backpacking trips over very rocky ground (Appalachians) and you absolutely can hike in them if you are conditioned to barefoot/barefoot shoes. (former barefoot runner). I actually ran across this researching the summits for a backpacking trip planned the spring and sure to be some wet bikes. They sound a bit more heavy duty they I'm used to, but I'm getting older and these seem like they'll be worth the investment.

If lems made a boulder boot variant that had leather lining or no lining and a slip resistant rated sole it would be my new work shoe.

I gotta say, I just simply love this channel and you've totally blown the whole thing outta the water. I was looking at a Wolverine Durashock review and when it came to the inside components, the guy goes: I can't show you this but it's in there, trust me..." or something along those lines. I was like: yea? Rose Anvil could show you! Anyway, love love love this channel and the Rose Anvil 2. You';ve helped me make such educated great choices for my 4 pairs of boots (Iron Rangers, Thursday Moc Toes, Wolverine Durashocks, and Lem chukka boots.)

Bought a pair of the Summit Boulder boots by Lems for my big and wide feet. I'm mid 70s so everyday is a recovery day for my feet. These are probably the most comfortable pair of boots I have ever owned. They seem to have a very slight heel rise and have thicker soles than a pair of Primal 2s that I got on ebay. The leather seems fairly good. Can't wait for cooler temps.

Bought a pair of the original Boulder boots over a year ago and they just sat in my closet...until recently when I sprained my small toe badly. My Lem's were the only shoes or boots I could wear for several days. Everything else compressed my toes painfully. It made me realize that all my shoes are too narrow, and I really prefer a low/no drop.

Day number two of my first Lem boots. I have had the Boulder boots bookmarked for sooo long, finally bought them. I know these are not "HD", "do all" boots, but those kind smash my toes. "Shop Slippers", I like that!! :D I will now put the Summit model on my window shopping list, thanks for the honest appraisal! All yesterday (Sunday) was so amazing with my toes not smashed!

I've had the Summit boots for 19 months now. Solved the grip - other than mud. Really slippery in mud and we have a lot of that in the UK.

I basically live in LEMS boots. I cycle through 5-6 different pair, so they've been lasting quite awhile for me. Always knew the sole was soft, didn't realize it was the same material as the midsole. 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.

Hell yeah Barefoot Feb! Is there a way to have an actual measurement of how long/wide the inside/insole of the boots/sneakers that you cut apart? Sizing is always so frustrating when trying new brands. You're doing the lords work with just showing the truth of things, and it's much appreciated. Thank you.

I have a pair of boulder boots but I don't wear them very often. I like a little more cushioning under my feet and they don't have much grip. I do love my trailheads and from the looks of it, the summit is a combination of the two so I might have to check them out.

Looks like a work in progress to me. 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.

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

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.
