An excellent shoe- I bought them for a trip to Asia. They are comfortable for lots of walking and look classy enough as a good casual shoe. They fit my wife feet comfortably - and I would buy these again.

Shoes are well build, still getting use to barefoot shoes. Wearing them incrimentaly as advised to get use to them. Closure of shoes around my ankles are still abit hard but have no dought to will wear in.

I love these boots. Love the peek of tartan at the top, love the style, love the comfort, love them! These were almost perfect straight out of the box, the only issue was that the heel cap rubbed a little. I just had to “crack” them (press the cap a few times when they were off my feet) and then they were perfect. I also skip the top eyelets as having the laces done up all the way put pressure around my ankles/lower calves.

Lems - Boulder Boot - Black (Unisex)

Natasha P.

I bought these before going on a trip to Austria and Switzerland but didn’t get a chance to break them in beforehand. My first time wearing these I got a small blister on my right pinky toe but that was on a 36 degree, humid day where we walked over 16000 steps, so it’s really my fault for not wearing them in properly. Since that first day, they’ve been amazing - no blisters or sore spots, comfortable to wear all day, and they look great with anything I’ve worn. They’ve also held up very well wa...

Lems - Kourt - Whiteout (Unisex)

Perfect under tennis style shoes - they stay put, feel comfortable, and the back comes up high enough to protect against rubbing/blisters but not too high as to be obvious.

Natasha P.

Bought these to wear on holiday with my new barefoot shoes. I hadn’t worn toe socks before so was a bit uncertain about wearing them for the first time whilst overseas and walking long distances but they’ve been great. They’ve stayed in place, I don’t even feel like I’m wearing anything between my toes and best of all, my toes don’t feel cramped or pressured like with standard socks. They’ve been perfect with my Lems Kourt shoes.

Thanks guys, this has been a great experience. Nimble Toes arrived in less than 2 days. The "What is my size" app did its job as when I put on the 10.5's it recommended, it felt like a shoemaker had made that shoe exactly for my foot. My toes and feet are getting better sensation, even the muscles on top of my feet. This is great for me as I've had many injuries or surgeries in both ankles/knees/hips and have sensory issues especially in my legs and am still limited to walking. Also the lower...

Bought a pair for myself and I love them so much I have bought a pair for Mum for Christmas. My toes LOVE being able to spread out, it’s so good for balance, and my shins and calf muscles love the zero drop!

Love my new Lems Chelsea Boots - super comfortable and no break-in period. They’ve become my everyday shoe for winter - they keep my feet dry and warm. And they look good enough that I can wear them into the office. Bought the same size as my Lems Chillums and could have gone down half a size as these are a little wide around the middle of my foot and heel when I wear thin socks. However, they fit well with thick socks. Highly recommend!

Kelvyn Y.

Excellent shoe. Like wearing them a lot. Haven't quite worked out what to do with the suede - make it water repellent or leave it alone. The first wet outing has produced water splotches, maybe I need to wet them all over and even it out.

Lems - Chillum Suede - Bedrock (Unisex)

Marg C.

I did try another smaller size (after advice) but knew as soon as I tried them that they were too small. It took a while to get my next size up sent, but now I am happy. Comfortable and plenty of toe space. ☺️

Amr M.

Wide fitting and super comfortable. Outdoor walking as well as indoor. Used their suggested waterproofing nix wax and have no problems in day to day beach side walking. Worth it.

Madeline M.

I got these shoes on the recommendation of my podiatrist - I have wide feet and needed a shoe with a square toe box to help minimise the progression of bunions. These are so comfortable. It’s the first time my toes haven’t felt squished into a shoe - I didn’t even realise how uncomfortable my other ‘podiatrist designed’ brand shoes were until I tried the Lems. They look great and work well with work/casual outfits. They’re nice quality.

Ben J.

Have I worn any other shoes since I received these (very promptly) in the mail? No, I don't think I have. I just keep wearing them, and they just keep being comfortable and I just keep having dry feet.

I’ve just returned from a visit to the outback of the Northern Territory of Aust , the boots were perfect in the hot dusty desert , and for climbing around water holes . I was amazed how the wet boots did not slip on the rocky out crops around the water holes . The boots performed so well in the 38 cel heat . After a hot day on the trail my feet were not sore at all. Great Boots !

Lems - Waterproof Boulder Boot Summit - Nitro (Unisex)

Nicola F.

A very sturdy and comfortable shoe. I found the toe box to be narrower than other shoes i tried which alleviated the excess shoe material from cutting into the top of my foot as i walked.

After research about improving balance, I purchased these shoes and have found them to significantly improve my balance - took a little time for the body to adjust it's mechanics to the zero fall. After a month they are doing a superb job and as a wonderful 'extra', back pain I have lived with for a long while has disappeared.!

Trying these as work boots instead of the boulder boots. The boulders have only lasted 6 months, been through 3 pairs so far. Hopefully these last 6 months or more. Couldn't go back to "mainstream" shoes though. Love barefoot shoes.

Elanor W.

It took A LOT of back and forth to get the right size - the process of exchanging was fine though (just lots of waiting is all so required some patience). I'm hoping that was just because I'm a newbie to Lems maybe from now on I can just order my size and get it right the first time because I would definitely invest in more. These boots feel like velvet on my feet! I kid you not the best feeling shoes I've ever owned (only had a few weeks). I do wonder how they will last, I'll keep you all updat...

Lizzi R.

Have worn them everyday since they've arrived! Partly out of love and partly because as they are leather they need time to break in. I'm normally a size 38, 7.5US and after reading the advice of others ordered a while size up, so ended up with 8.5US and they are perfect. I found the soles a bit stiff, but again reading the comments, I removed the insole and then they felt perfect!

Lems - Boulder Boot - Russet (Leather) (Unisex)

Jarrod D.

Simply the most comfortable boots I have ever owned. My previous Blundstone and Redback boots were causing toe joint pain that I thought was just me getting old .. . . But my partner suggested going for a barefoot fit - type of boot and the Lems were the best option. Super comfortable, they look the part and even allow me to grip onto a tin roof when working. Will be getting the same pair when these eventually wear out.

I bought these as a cold weather boot for one bag travelling and they do the job perfectly. Three weeks in mid-west USA in December/January with temps down to -10C with ice and snow on the ground and occasional wet weather. They were the only footwear I needed and went with all my clothes. I wore them with thin socks on the plane and merino ski socks outside in the cold and they were very comfortable. US security requires removal of shoes so being able to slip them on and off easily was great. I...

Malinee S.

Bought these shoes for my 2 year old for childcare as they are in shoes all day long there and I didn't want his toes squished in conventional shoes. These are also half the price of other natural foot shape toddler shoes. They're a bit tricky to get on at first as there is no tab at the heel to help pull them on but it's does get easier as the canvas softens up. Not sure how long the tread will hold up against the abrasive astroturf type surface in the outdoor area but a grippy sole is not real...

I bought a pair of these to replace the insoles in my Saguaro's and they fitted perfectly. My Saguaros are 39 and the Freet insole is 39. The Saguaro insole was too thick, did not seen zero drop and seemed to have slight arch support. The Freet one however was perfect. Zero drop, no arch support and a great thickness.

I selected the 10.5 size women and I had previously purchased joe nimble with a US size 9.5.. and these are perfect, but the Lems brand are slightly bigger for me but will be ok and extremely comfortably. I was struggling to find another joe nimble pair to choose.

Great quality shoes. My son says they're comfy and his main compliment was they're "great for running". They are such a better fit than the shoes he had been wearing-his toes aren't scrunched up in these bprimal ones.

Cass L.

I brought the same size as my Brooke’s and they were the perfect fit. They are super comfortable and I enjoy feeling the ground while I’m hiking. The only downside is they seem to be really long in the first two toes and I found that I was tripping a bit during my first hike with them. Other than that they are great

insoles are most appropriate for those trying to approach barefoot minimal running. They dont impose very much control but do take the sting out of minimal shoes such as Trail Glove / Vapour Glove and allow a more natural gate, The cushioning they do have allows a natural feel to running or walking. It is possible to just use them without thinking. or conciously roll the forefoot from supination to pronation , exercising the foot while doing it. Other insoles I have now feel too intrusive

My first barefoot shoes. They are so comfortable and I can wear them all day. Good for walking and standing for a day's work. I am very happy with them.

Great boot, very well made and very comfortable. I would suggest you go a full size up, as my original purchase was way to small. On the upside, the size exchange was really easy and taken care of very quickly. Highly recommend.

Jenny K.

I love my Joe nimble shoes I wear them to work all the time and I work on concrete floors and no pain.. The Chiro says my feet have changed in a short time and the arches are getting better everyday I wear them. So comfortable just as they say wearing no shoes at all. Very light and flexible, I wear a size 9 normally but happy with the 9.5 eur. Have just received my next pair trying out the Lems for exercising and everyday use.

Joe Nimble - nimbleToes - Womens - Black

Leah P.

I am really happy with these shoes, they are exceptionally comfortable, I have oddly wide feet, they're 24.3cm long, but 12cm wide across the toes, I got the size 40, and I wore them all day, they're a little small around my toes, but so much better than regular shoes. I think they should stretch out enough to be a perfect fit eventually, and it was 36°celsius here today, and my feet stayed completely fresh and dry which I was shocked by, I definitely recommend them if you're thinking about pur...

The 1st pair arrived with no problems. They were too small even with insoles out. Got in touch with bprimal with no fuss was given an order to return for free. Don’t have a printer, was given a thing on iPad to scan at post office, no trouble. Next size up arrived about 10 days later . These fit great. Very happy from start to last delivery, they kept in contact with me at all stages. Thank you 😊

Great shoe with good sized toe box. I got slightly larger as I'd tried to buy another shoe and it was too small; however, wish I'd gone with my normal size but can make it work. They look stylish and I like that its made out of recycled material.

Freet - Feldom - Black/Orange (Unisex)

Tallace B.

Comfy right out of the box. I sized up after seeing other reviews and these just fit. Not tight at the toe when I walk but definitely no room to spare. But as I'm self conscious of my big feet I'd rather a 'just fit' than any extra room at the toe. A nice retro design look.

Lems - Primal Pursuit - Orion Blue (Unisex)

Arun

Wear them nearly everyday for work. So comfortable I’ve started wearing them out as well. I was a bit worried about the size and durability but they’re more spacious than a toe squisher of the same size and about as durable. Sole will likely not last as long but only because it’s thinner. Real standout though was the service. I initially contacted bPrimal just to try get a hold of anything in a 15 and the staff both worked really hard to get me something and kept me in the loop the whole time.

Lems - Chelsea Boot - Cedar (Unisex)

Marissa B.

Had to order a size up from my normal size through the size exchange offer with the site, exchange was smooth and communication prompt. As for the actual fit, I'm a wide 23.5cm foot and the 37 was too small. The 38 toe box was the right kind of roomy but had to adjust with the bungee cord around the body of my foot and the velcro at the back to get a good fit. Very happy with them now, thanks team!

Freet - Zennor - Black/Grey (Unisex)

Lisa L.

I bought these school shoes as my sons' school requires them to wear black leather lace-up shoes, formal in style, and most commercial shoe stores only sell shoes with pointed/restrictive toe boxes. I want my sons' feet to develop naturally, so that they don't develop long term joint/posture problems related to their shoes. They have worn these new shoes to school all day without any discomfort or issue, which is unheard of for brand new shoes. Very happy with the purchase. I will be replacing t...

These were one of the first pairs of barefoot shoes I bought and I love them. The sole is a little thicker than some other barefoot shoes, which is perfect for wearing all day on all surfaces. I’m a nurse and I’ve suffered for years from plantar fasciitis pain. I used to wear regular ASICS running shoes. Now I’ve transitioned to barefoot shoes and wear these all day at work and I’m pain free. I’ve had these for about 18 months and am now buying a new pair because my new puppy ate them 😩

Ruth S.

Only negative is I should have gone up another 1/2 size bc a little small for my length. Plenty of toe width room which was my main concern. I needed to replace a pair of shoes before a 20km event. Didn’t have enough time to properly break in (purchased a week before) but these were fantastic. I’ll be buying more in the future
