Description Features Sizing Resources A Wide Toe Box, Zero-Drop Athletic Shoe The Lems Trail Blazer is a fantastic all-rounder—a sporty, zero-drop, wide toe box transitional shoe that also works great for all sorts of outdoor athletic endeavors. Built with both foot comfort and health in mind, the high-performing Trail Blazer is equally great as a go-to around-town shoe or as a durable trail companion. Indeed, use this thoughtfully designed sneaker as your primary walking, hiking, or trail running shoe, or combine it with a pair of jeans for your urban adventures. Breathable Upper, High-Traction Outsole Breathable and lightweight (each Lems Trail Blazer shoe weighs about 12 oz.), this foot-forward trainer incorporates a grippy Trail Traction outsole with recessed grooves and 3.0 mm singular lugs and a 100 percent moisture-wicking polyester lining. The 14-mm stack height of the Trail Blazer offers a nice blend of sole protection and ground feel for those who want slightly more material beneath the foot for vigorous athletic activities or for the purpose of transitioning from conventional footwear. Works Great With Other Beneficial Footgear The accommodating Lems Trail Blazer works great with a variety of other natural footgear. The ample toe box of this healthy-foot-shaped transitional and athletic shoe pairs nicely with Correct Toes toe spacers for most sets of feet, particularly if you remove the included (optional) insole. Other kinds of helpful footgear that you can use in combination with the Trail Blazer include Injinji toe socks, Pedag metatarsal pads or Strutz Pro foot pads, and thin and textured Naboso proprioceptive insoles.

For example, if you normally wear a women's US size 8 shoe, consider ordering an 8 in the Lems Trail Blazer. 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 shoe, we suggest removing the included (optional) shoe liner/insole; this action does not, in any way, affect the performance of the shoe. 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.
