Lems Waterproof Boulder Boot

*Sizing Note - Order 1/2 SIZE LARGER than your normal US size. If you plan on wearing thicker socks, then consider ordering 1 FULL SIZE LARGER than your normal US size. These boots are fitting more snug than our original Boulder Boots (Leather + Nylon) due to the added membrane. View the sizing charts here.

OUR #1 SELLER GOT A HELLUVA LOT BETTER

The Waterproof Boulder Boot has long been our most requested shoe, and we’re confident that they’ll be worth the wait. Speaking of weight, this boot still maintains the lightweight frame you’ve come to know and love from Lems — even though we’ve added a unique waterproof membrane, these puppies will still hit the scale at a featherlight 12.9oz. 

We also took some time to rethink the overall construction of our latest release, and reinforced everything; from a thicker gauge thread to an overall stronger outer construction, this is our toughest pair yet. And yes, before you ask, they’re zero-drop. Ready to roll through a river, plow through an ice pack, or anything else on your agenda? Good, because so are our Waterproof Boulder Boots, which keep your feet shockingly clear from clammy conditions due to a breathable waterproof membrane that stops water from penetrating into the boot, while still allowing the heat from your feet to escape. This kind-of-a-big-deal boot also utilizes a pre-treated leather upper, that can be reapplied with waterproofing wax/spray to help extend its water repellency.

The Waterproof Boulder Boot is the one shoe that does it all without ever missing a step. You can easily pack it, but you’ll also feel good wearing it everywhere, everyday. And just so you know — this boot was designed with an incredible amount of detail and care, and we can’t wait to see where you go in it.

**Due to the nature of the treated leather used, there may be some color variation; some pairs may be slightly lighter/darker than the photos shown, and have a more weathered look right out of the factory**

   
WATERPROOF
Rain, sun, snow? We’re ready. Not only can you skip through streams and keep your toes dry, you can up the ante on where your travel takes you this winter, thanks to your new favorite snow-proof pair, complete with a gusseted tongue.  

OILED LEATHER UPPER
We’ve utilized a 100% full-grain leather with an oiled finish, that is pre-treated to be water repellent. To increase the water-repellency and extend it over the life of the shoe, we suggest using a waterproofing wax such as Otter Wax and reapplying 2-3 times per year.

   
IBR OUTSOLE
Our injection blown rubber outsole is what makes Lems incredibly lightweight and flexible. Deemed as the perfect travel companion, this boot can pack down to the size of your favourite puff jacket. 

ULTRA LIGHTWEIGHT
These everyday shoes are some of the lightest on the market. You might be tempted to think you’re not wearing shoes at all, but don’t be fooled; we’ve got your feet covered. 

  
ZERO-DROP
Places the forefoot and heel flat to the ground correcting posture, aligning your spine, and encouraging mid-foot strike. 

GUSSETED TONGUE
Whether you prefer your laces loose, or tied up tight, thanks to the gusseted tongue you’ll always be protected from the elements.

SIZE ORDERING GUIDE

• When using the table below, consider your normal U.S. size, the size that you would most often wear in other brands
• Sizing preference can vary based on many things including: width of your foot, sock thickness, etc.
• If you need more width or volume inside the shoe, all Lems shoes can be worn without the insole
• If you need less width or volume inside the shoe, you may try using a thicker insole than the one that is included with the shoe
• All of our shoes are unisex (except the Trailhead & Mesa). For example, a Boulder Boot in Women's 9.5 is the same exact shoe as a Boulder Boot in Men's 8
