At Lems, we love our customers and we value their opinions. That’s why when we heard the feedback regarding the Trailhead, we listened! And because we are on a never-ending mission to create not only the most functional shoes, but shoes that make our customers feel great, we made some adjustments and are now proud to release the Trailhead V2. It was a labor of love with suggestions taken from those who know Lems (and their feet!) best. Here are the features we’ve updated for the newest edition of the Trailhead.

As the home of Lems - the best option for minimalist footwear - I thought it’d be useful to lay out the perfect Boulder day and how each pair of Lems makes it even better.

Long-term use of narrow shoes has lasting consequences on the foot’s functional anatomy and are legitimately tied to bunion formation - a painful bony bump that develops at the big toe joint. While many believe bunions are inherited, research backing this belief is uncertain. More firmly established research provides evidence that narrow shoes, especially on feet that are still growing, is the root cause of bunions.

Correct Toes have been tested and proven by hundreds of patients to re-align the toes and straighten the big toe. They can be worn inside our Lems Origins (Primal 2, Boulder Boot, Nine2Five, Mariner) due to our wide toe box and natural fitting design.
