For a long time, the quest for the perfect minimalist boot was as mythical as the search for Sasquatch. We yearned for a boot that was the natural shape of the human foot, a zero-drop design that brought us closer to the earth, and a wide toe box with more open space than a Kansas wheat field. We searched and we searched, but all we found were clunky, restrictive excuses for footwear. But, just like Dorothy, we’ve finally found our way home, and it comes in the form of the Lems Leather Boulder Boots.

Lems Shoes understands that you don’t have to be a granola-munching environmentalist to appreciate the benefits of going natural. At a very reasonable £160, these boots are an absolute game-changer. Weighing in at just 9 ounces (for a men’s size 10), they’re so lightweight they’ll make your last fad diet look heavy. They pack down small enough to fit into the most cramped of daypacks and are ready for any adventure, whether you’re off on a wild goose chase for the elusive Bigfoot or just heading to the pub.

But the real magic lies in their design. The Boulder Boots promote healthy foot development, better balance, and increased mobility, all while helping to alleviate foot ailments that have plagued mankind since the dawn of the tight-shoed era. It’s time to stop the search, gentlemen. The mythical minimalist boot is real, and it’s spectacular.
