Barefoot shoes have been gaining popularity again recently. Among them, LEMS—founded in Boulder, Colorado, in 2011—has carved out its own unique path with its nostalgic American design and understated construction. I could sense that same vibe in their new collection as well.
Boulder Summit Leather Boots ¥ 38,500
This boot-style shoe features a full-grain leather upper. It has a breathable, fully waterproof membrane built into the lining, making it suitable for a variety of situations. From light trail runs to everyday city wear, this versatile pair exudes an unmistakable American vibe. With a zero-drop construction, a 16mm-stack-height sole, and a 5.5mm insole, the just-right thickness is quintessentially .
Sales begin on Saturday, July 11, and it looks like they’ll also have stock of the classic “Primal 3,” the trail-oriented “Trailblazer,” the low-tech “Chiram,” and the slip-on “Malibu.” Since many of these models are great for everyday use, trying them on might just make your daily walks more enjoyable.
