Description Features Sizing Resources A Grippy, High-Performance Walking & Hiking Boot The Lems Boulder Boot Grip Waterproof is a high-performance walking and hiking boot that’s designed to endure the rigors of the trail while keeping your feet happy, healthy, and dry. This durable, conscientiously designed boot incorporates a slip-resistant, non-marking, all-terrain rubber outsole that offers you incredible grip on a variety of surfaces and performs admirably in all kinds of climatic conditions. The unique outsole of the Boulder Boot Grip possesses siping grooves to enhance traction, and the genuine full-grain oiled leather upper includes a waterproof membrane and gusseted tongue. Wide Toe Box, Zero-Drop Platform, Lightweight Design Built into the Lems Boulder Boot Grip Waterproof are a number of foot-healthy design features, including a wide toe box that gives your toes ample room to splay, a zero-drop support platform that enhances foot and ankle stability, and a lightweight overall design that promotes higher-quality footfalls both on the trail and around town. The slightly thicker sole and taller stack height of the Boulder Boot Grip (13 mm without the optional 3.5 mm insole) make this a great “transitional” boot for those making the switch from conventional hiking footwear to more foot-healthy hiking footwear.

With its 100 percent waterproof upper, high-traction rubber outsole, and thoughtful speed hooks for quicker lacing, this boot is a clear contender for the most rugged foot-friendly hiking boot out there. The Boulder Boot Grip also pairs nicely with other helpful footgear, including Correct Toes, Injinji toe socks, Pedag metatarsal pads or Strutz Pro foot pads, Naboso insoles, and Zensah compression sleeves.

For example, if you normally wear a men's US size 11 shoe, consider ordering an 11 in the Lems Boulder Boot Grip Waterproof. If you are between sizes, order up to the next available size. If you're on the fence about what size to order, consider ordering both sizes and then simply return the size that doesn't fit as well for a refund. If you have concerns about sizing, feel free to contact us or Lems customer service. Sizing Tip #1: To create additional roominess within the boot, we suggest removing the included (optional) boot liner/insole; this action does not, in any way, affect the performance of the boot. Optionally, and to enhance balance, posture, agility, and general foot/body awareness, you might consider adding thin, flexible Naboso insoles instead. Sizing Tip #2: Correct Toes toe spacers will often add width and length to the foot. If you’re planning to wear Correct Toes with your footwear, we recommend sizing up, especially if you are on the border between sizes.
