Men's Boulder Summit Wasserdicht

I went from getting the boots to using them on the Walkers Haute trek for 100+ miles over 10 days from Chamonix to Zermatt (July 2026), 4,000 to 6,000 feet of elevation climb / descend each day, huge boulder fields, rocky and skeet trails, and much more. I did use my Solo Inserts to provide greater arch support as I was carrying a light pack of 15-20 pounds. The boots immediately wrapped my heels with zero hot spots (unlike my Crispi and Salomon boots) and the wide toe box was wonderful on all the steep descends. My only issue was they are not waterproof even after using the Ox Wax from the Lems website was applied when I took them out of the box. After a light rain and dew on the grass in the morning, the leather was wet through the next morning when they dried out from the sun.

Overall, I trusted the boots and the grip on the challenging trail. My legs and feet never got tired and zero blisters! Many people in my group were very impressed with the performance, especially over the boulder fields. I will never go back to the traditional hiking boots. These are truly the best boots I've had and I opted to wear them instead of my Hoka trail shoes even when we were not on the trail in the evenings. Thye look great with hiking pants :), if that's your kind of style.

I wear a woman's size 9.5 in Hoka Stinson trail runners and same size in these Lems boots. I wear a thin toe sock liner like Injinji and then Smartwool mid thick sock over then liner.

There was no need to "wear these boots in" as they were so comfortable from the moment I stepped foot in them to this day. I've never owned a pair of any type of shoe that I've fallen in love with from day one. Until these shoes right here. I don't even like shoes, to be honest. I like being barefoot as much as I can, but when I need to wear shoes to go outside, I don't mind wearing these. I actually look forward to wearing them. Thank you for making these shoes/boots!

The summit fits my high volume feet better than any other Lems shoe, and I love the extra traction. I live in the far north with 7 months of snow, but insulated polyester linings just make me sweaty and get stinky. Insulated boots have a place, but I can’t wear them all day long. This version of the summit boot is exactly what I was hoping for: no synthetic lining, lug sole, wide and high volume fit. I wear a 9 in these, 8.5 in the chillum, 9 in the boulder boot. For comparison, I wear a 38 in Birkenst ocks, 7.5 wide in altra lone peaks.

I was really hoping that these boots would live up to the description and all the great reviews, and they did! Super comfortable barefoot feel, the grip is amazing, they look super cute and are certainly very functional. My feet are not wide at all, but I prefer to have a roomy shoe, and they fit true to size. Worth every penny!
