Chelsea-känga för kvinnor

I love these boots. They feel comfy. They slip on my foot easily. But I ask myself are they meant to be worn barefoot? At first I thought yes they are ,but then my ankles were continuously rubbed raw by the elastic gusset. So I put on a thin wool sock and the boots were still fitting well and ankle problem solved. If I buy again I would probably order a 1/2 size larger to accommodate a thicker sock.

These shoes are a good transition from wearing summer sandals or bare feet to wearing something a little warmer but still very comfortable and lightweight. I ordered 1/2 size larger than my usual size, as with all my Lems shoes, and they fit great.

Have been having trouble with all my old shoes hurting my feet or hip all the time. Have spent big bucks on other shoes, custom made and Birckenstock Chelsea boots as well, but they were still causing foot/hip pain. These Lems Suede Barefoot Chelsea Boots have been wonderful, no more foot or hip pain and I can wear them all day! Yay! My particulars are post menopausal, which is when all my shoes started being uncomfortable/painful, a very wide front foot, longer 2nd toes and high volume feet. These barefoot boots are the best! Note, I did go up a full size from my normal 8.5 to a 9.5, the 8.5 was too short for my 2nd toe on my slightly longer foot and I wanted to wear these with wool socks. So I recommend at least a half size bigger than usual and maybe a full size if they are for winter.
