メンズ・ボルダー・ブーツ・グリップ・ウォータープルーフ

Really enjoying these boots. Have a couple pair of Jim greens and I haven’t put them back on. Can’t compare between the Grip and the standard boot but I will say they seem to work really well in snow and rainy conditions.

Had an issue with adhesive on boots, customer service took care of it right away and sent a new pair, and kept the old ones.

I thought these boots had stitching on sole to boot. I assume that would improve the durability.

I’ve been wearing them for a few months. Really comfortable. I’ll see how they hold up over all in the next year or so.

I like Lems more than vivobarefoot. I miss how easy it used to be to get merrel minimalist shoes…

For the time being I’ll continue to add Lems as I replace my running shoes, street shoes (skating and general life), hiking shoes and boots, and maybe they’ll have a super lightweight shoe soon to replace my merrel vapor trail gloves that I use for river fun in the summer

These are versatile, beautiful, practical, and comfortable boots once you get the sizing right! I wear them every day for almost every purpose. The style is perfect for anything except formal occasions, and the traction, structure, and flexibility is perfect for anything except specialized performance needs. They're structured enough for hiking, but I feel light and "springy" enough on my feet to sprint in them as well.

I do have a couple minor complaints, but they're not enough to drop from 5 stars to 4:

* The relatively fine-grained tread design does tend to get a bunch of mud and tiny rocks jammed up into the thin gaps after I walk in the yard (unless the ground is frozen), and they require a knife or similar to clean out even when I'm spraying water at the tread in the sink. Hopefully that won't be a year-round problem.

* The "speed hooks" for lacing actually slow me down compared to shoes that I can just keep laced and loosen/tighten, but I'm told they provide greater ankle stability or something. If so, that's worth the minor inconvenience.

Sizing notes:

The sizing chart and official recommendations for leeway indicated that I should choose size 11 for my foot length, but I initially sized up to 11.5 to accommodate my wide feet (borderline between 3E and 4E). That still wasn't wide enough with or without the insole (but especially with it), but Lems quickly serviced an exchange for a size 12, and these work perfectly! They're the most comfortable shoes I've…

They feel broken in the second you put them on and are very comfortable to walk in. Due to the waterproof nature though, your feet will get too warm if the temps are above 40 fahrenheit. Because of this, these will only get used in winter and all other seasons I'll wear my Lems primals. I bought my usual size and they fit perfect.
