RUGGED RUBBER OUTSOLE

The full rubber outsole features 4mm lugs for incredible traction both on and off-road. The built in zig-zag siping helps dissipate water and maintain ground contact.

DURABLE MATERIALS

Crafted with perforated suede where the foot flexes, allowing for maximum comfort and mobility.

WIDE TOE BOX

Unlike traditional footwear that squeeze the toes together, our foot-shaped toe box allows for maximum room giving the toes ultimate freedom to wiggle and spread.

ZERO-DROP

Places the forefoot and heel flat to the ground or pedal, correcting posture, aligning your spine, and encouraging mid-foot strike.

Customers say these trail shoes are extremely comfortable right out of the box, with a wide toe box that accommodates various foot shapes. They praise the excellent grip and traction on both trails and pavement, making them versatile for hiking, mountain biking, and everyday wear. Many appreciate the stylish design that looks good in casual settings while providing outdoor functionality. The shoes are described as durable and well-constructed with quality materials. However, some customers note they run small and recommend sizing up a half size.

Beautiful, dialed in, and zero margin for error
I loved the look of these shoes from the moment I laid eyes on them. As fate would have it, they didn’t love me back right away. There was a definite break-in and tweaking period.
My foot is wide in the toe box, but not extravagantly so. The toe box on the Thrashers hits perfectly. I also have a relatively low arch, so the zero-ish drop works great there. Where I ran into trouble was volume. I’m pretty high volume over the top of my midfoot and at the heel. The Thrasher’s padded collar is about 2 mm too low for me. With the stock insole, it compresses fully and I get heel slip. That's fine, they’re Lems... I'll pull the insole.
But then, with the stiff leather and my foot geometry, I was getting pretty tough lace bite at the top eyelet on both feet. Over time I tuned them in. I swapped in a 2 mm Rose Anvil insole, wore them around the house all day, ran a ton of errands. Now I’m confident these will be great hikers come summer.
These shoes are gorgeous and thoughtfully designed. But because of the minimalist ethos, the tolerances are tight. You can work through some initial discomfort like I did, but if my foot were even slightly higher volume, these would’ve been a no-go.

Comfortable and Great Looking
I have a pair of Primal 3's that instantly fit me like a glove, and the Trail Thrashers are no exception. They are extremely comfortable and while it feels as if they may have slightly less toe room than the Primal 3 does, the overall comfort and support they provide are exceptional.
I definitely like the stiffer sole, as well as the elastic in the tongue. If you are looking for a great hiking shoe or just something for walking, the Trail Thrasher will not disappoint. Additionally, the look nice as well.

Fantastic shoe - no matter the weather!
Rain or shine, snow or sleet; these shoes are truly fantastic. 5/5 cannot recommend these enough. The wide toe box makes such a noticeable impact on foot comfort. Thanks, Lems!
