A GUIDE TO UNDERSTANDING PLANTAR FASCIITIS Plantar fasciitis is a foot condition characterized by heel pain and pain in your plantar fascia—a strong and dense connective tissue structure on the sole of your foot that supports your foot arch. Active men between the ages of 40 and 70 are most commonly affected by this health problem.
Correct Toes™, developed by our friend Dr. Ray McClanahan, help to alleviate many foot problems that are caused by improper fitting footwear.
‘Twas the Barefoot Night Before Christmas…

Escape Sports is an outdoor recreation store located in Saskatoon, Saskatchewan. Not only does Escape Sports offer amazing, high quality gear, but they also offer lessons and rentals in Stand Up Paddleboarding, Yoga, snowskating, and tons of others cool activities. Additionally they are also Lems Shoes’ first retailer in Canada! We recently interviewed founders Marcus and Jonny to learn more about themselves and their awesome store!
While the style of my shoes continued to stay a priority, I began shopping for footwear that would not only look good, but would also allow me to walk with ease and comfort. With this, my interest in barefooted, minimalist shoes was discovered.
You may be asking yourself, “If you do not market the Boulder Boot as a performance hiking/backpacking boot, why would you do a review of the product on a 6 day – 62 mile hike?” Confidence – that’s why. I was confident that the Boulder Boot would be able to withstand everything a 180 lb frame with a 50 lb pack could throw its way. And I must say, the Boulder Boot not only withstood the abuse, but it far exceeded my high expectations.
After switching to minimal running shoes I began the search anew but still couldn't find anything I really liked. Most good minimalist running shoes aren't particularly comfortable to wear all day (such as Merrell's Trail Glove), while most shoes that are comfortable aren't very minimal (such as New Balance's MT10).
So you can imagine my excitement when the kind folks at Leming agreed to provide a pair of their shoes for me to review. After all, they basically set out to make the exact shoe I had been looking for. The only question was, did they succeed?

You may remember these shoes from an initial review on a preproduction model from startup company StemLems Shoes back in the summer. We’re going to take a closer look at what has been in the works since then, how the Primals have been tweaked, and what makes them so comfortable.
We pride ourselves on the barefoot feel and natural ground feel Stem Footwear gives.
