The way you move the shoe doesn't show it off enough. You're moving it too fast and it often goes out of frame. We don't need to see your face or hand gestures, we need to see the shoes up close as it has many fine details. Good review otherwise.

They aren't wide enough at all, I didn't want a barefoot shoe so it seemed perfect for me to get into a "higher end" anatomical toe box shoe, but they're simply not wide enough, in the mid foot or toe area. Construction seemed very nice, but I also returned mine. Hope they make a wider last one day because I probably would try another pair of they went wider, my feet seem to be in the upper end of width compared to other people though.

Hello, so how is the sizing on these - is it true to size ? DId you follow the sizing guide on site ? Any comment on whether to size up or down ?

Can ya use brown kiwi on them or they a suade type leather?

Been wearing bare foot shoes for the past 6 years and I just ordered these, I can't wait to wear them. 👍

More reviews my man. You’ve got the channel name. You gotta live up to it lol

Thanks for this review! if your feet are getting sweaty, how do they breathe? does the moisture build up and make them stink or does the moisture dissipate well enough?

Just ordered a shadow pair before they're gone. First time buyer. The most comfortable boots I've ever worn were Belleville C320s, which lasted me 3+ years, but still wore them for 5ish years Lmao. I think I wore the heel down into a zero-drop heel within the first year, and after that they just formed to my feet. They were light as a feather and tough as nails. Eventually I wore a hole in the sole down to the insert; They lived on as 'poo shoes' ie. slip-ons to leave my bunk for the shitter.

The Boulder boot is killer. To wear such a light weight boot in the NE winter and NEVER experience wet feet? Been waiting all my life for these. Going on my fourth season. Unless they stop making them - I’ll never wear another boot. (Actually have a black leather and tan non-waterproof version for dress-up)

i've had mine for about a year and a half, i've worn them so much that i've started to wear the stitching out lol. they are the most comfortable boots i've owned, they fit amazing

I have a pair of these and they are comfortable. But they’re not made in America. This is copy and pasted from their website. .” We design our shoes in-house in Boulder, Colorado which are then manufactured in a family-owned factory in China” I guess since the communist party is one big happy family I can’t believe that it’s family owned

As for your comment on the fit of the Trailstars, you can adjust every part of the straps. You can losen the strap around your toe to fix the problem of it being too tight. There is a video on the Shamma yt channel explaining in great lenght how to adjust the straps.

same thing happens to my shamma cruisers. I feel as if they are loose for some reason

Just ordered mine, thanks for the review :)

Classic

Do you actually wear these with no socks?

I'm a 10.5 in Chuck Taylors , 11 in Vans and a 12 in the Lems Boulder Boot.

How is the breathability in summer on the brown leather version?

Yea I have a pair of the leather boulder boots. I wouldnt call anything I have seen from Lems be barefoot. Not even really minimalist. They are better than normal boots, but marginally.

Sounds like it would be a great work boot then. I work in the woods, have to step on a lot of rocks, brush and logs, hike up hills and put on spikes to climb trees Do you think these would hold up?

Which Boulder Boot is best for summer hiking? I have this pair and LOVE them. Going on four years now!

They look really cool, like a vintage rugged item. I hate how vivobarefoot boots look after a while because they go for a modern design and that doesnt look very good with the wrinkles in the leather and when the color starts to fade in some parts. Ill buy these pairs next! I know they are not as wide or "pure barefoot" as Vivo but it should be ok because I plan to use them only on hiking from time to time

You fell for the emperor's new clothes?

Is it slippery 😮

Thanks. I had seen Rose Anvil's teardown of these awhile back and now yours definitely has these on my list. I am transitioning into barefoot shoes - wearing Altra Paradigms for daily run/walks and a pair of canvass Splays for warmer weather. But I don't have any cold weather b-foot footwear yet and these are going to be it. And they bring back memories too - same brown leather and moc toe as the Sears DieHard boots I wore way back in high school. Reminiscing and Subscribed!!

Great review! I have the Lems Chelsea boots and I love them. I’ll probably buy those too after watching this review.

True to size for sure on these and also my feet seem to get really hot in them .

I bought a pair of the brown ones the other day I'm a size uk8, and they fitted perfectly.

I've worn the boulder waterproof as my go-to winter boot in the building trade for the last couple of years. They are great quality leather that remains strong but flexible, are breathable but are indeed waterproof. Having the taller stack height means less penetrating cold from the ground when it's freezing and paired with alpaca socks they are a winning combo for those who are outdoors all day. My only gripe is the sole. With daily load bearing work, the sole has compressed in the forefoot area, essentially rendering them no longer 0 drop but if you were just walking around I'm sure they would last longer in this respect.

Believe the company is in Boulder, CO. But the boot is made in China.

Thanks for making this video, really helpful in decided whether to get these boots they look fantastic

Glad you had a great experience, finally ordered some based on this review. Worst customer service ever. Double charged me and sent me both pairs, then won't respond to emails or messages to fix. Absolutely terrible service for a first time buyer.

They say true to size on the site. I know they say size up on the boulder, but not these. The one you are holding is vegan aswell. The other one isn't. Nice review.

Genuinely you just rub some beeswax boot wax into those babies and they'll look beautiful

Have you tried the Lems Chelsea yet?

Yeah I got this same model as my first ever bearfoot shoe I planned to use them just in the weight room as I always deadlifted barefoot anyway but as I walked complete barefoot during the summer and wore these shoes for awhile in the gym I have started to really really dislike any type of modern footwear and I’m gonna get another pair here soon and switch almost completely to bearfoot shoes even at work I’ll be able to wear their bruin boot that is coming out I believe this Christmas time

how would you compare this to their chelsea

Hey may I ask you if half a size smaller would be a good fit? The support says half a size smaller than the boulder boot must be good to go

I think made in China actually, says on website I’m pretty sure

Great review, Ryan. I own the non waterproof Boulder boot for casual daily office use rather than for hiking. Would you recommend the Boulder for serious long-distance rucking? Thank you.

Thank you for this review. This was really informative and helpful! Thanks!

awesome review!

I am a remodel carpenter and have been getting interested in minimalist footwear as a solution to foot pain and long work days on my feet. I figure for heavy demo, I may have to keep some more traditional boots with heavy soles to protect my feet, but for the rest of the time I'm wondering if these could work for me. I'm really hoping fixing my footwear will chase away other developing pains I've been having.

I just got a pair of the leather ones (like your wife). The top of the boots rubbed the back of my legs sore. I'm wondering if she had any trouble with this issue and if so, what did she do to rectify it or how long did it take to break in? Thanks!

Thanks for the review! Have you considered the new Boulder Summits? Curious how they compare.

Murican company but made in CHINA!! LOL you Muricans are so funny.

How about saddle soap and leather treatment creams...???

Rolled up jeans cuffs...really...??wtf...! 🤮

What is your foot length in cm For size 12 Boulder. Im about to order online cant decide on 11.5 or 12.

Where the slippery on icy condition ?
