I was looking for an alternative to Rossi/Blundstones with more space for toes. These fit the brief. They have been comfortable from the moment I put them on and fit my low (off the shelf) orthotics. I don't know how they will wear with time, but for comfort I recommend them.
janine h.
Absolutely love these boots. So comfortable and perfect for the upcoming winter. I do need to wear longer socks with them as they are a looser fit around the ankles and tend to chafe my legs. apart from that, i have no issues with them and highly recommend
David B.
Love these boots. They are now my everyday go-to shoes. The toe box is nice and wide with a good fit elsewhere. My advice is to spend time getting the size right. Thanks.
Steven M.
Without a doubt the best thing that I've ever done for my feet. I could feel the improvement after the first day, and each day after they just got better.
Maxine M.
After reading the fit guide I ordered half a size bigger than my normal women's US8.5, that is US9. I returned them and ordered US9.5 which work really well, allowing me to wear thicker socks if I want. I am looking forward to wearing these boots on my next walking holiday.
The returns procedure is very efficient and any queries are answered promptly.
Braden C.
Unfortunately I did not read the sizing guide. I wore these for a day and thought by the end of the day that these aren't that wide or roomy. Then went back on the bprimal website to look at ordering a bigger size only to find the advice to order 1/2 to a full size up. Dammit! Ah well. Definitely heed this advice. I can't return them now, so I'll have to sell them privately. Don't be me.
Robyn S.
I love the look of these boots and wore them all day straight away. The advice to order a half size up is wise as I originally ordered my usual size. BPrimal made the exchange process easy… very happy and bought another pair in obsidian to see me through winter.
Terence B.
Great service and quick delivery.
The boots are very comfortable thanks to the wide toe design and the flat heel.
The advice of going half a size larger than my normal fitting proved to be be spot on.
My only suggestion would be to include a bit of soft padding at the top front of the ankle, as the thickness and stitching digs into my shins.
I am rubbing in some leather conditioner there to soften it up, so I am hoping it will improve with age.
Sarah J.
I'm normally an 8.5 women's but ordered 9.5 and glad I did. Very comfortable I have the primal zen so used to that sole. Rugged and great for outdoor use so far, waiting for the weather to get colder so I can wear them more!
Estelle T.
I was nervous about the sizing but thanks to the team at BPrimal helping me out, I ended up going half a size up from my usual size and it was a perfect fit!
I don’t wear super chunky socks but if I do I can always take out the insole.
These boots are so comfortable and beautiful. My Blundstones have gone in the (charity) bin! Happy feet!
Emma M.
These are for a preteen who gets very very cold feet and numb toes. They're super happy with them, living in them and loving them, comfy to spend a full day in from the first day. Feet are super toasty, though it's not cold yet.
Rodney R.
Good solid boot super comfortable and light. My new all rounder shoes.
Renee C.
The boots look great and the sizing advice, to go up 1/2-1 size, was spot on. Early days but will see how they hold up in the garden! Very comfortable!
Jane P.
So light and comfy. I wear work boots all day - these boots makes my feet so much happier.
Pri X.
I tried a W9 and W9.5 but as they run small, I am now waiting for a W10 in Espresso to come back in stock. I look forward to this as the shoe is gorgeous, the colour, quality etc. bprimal also facilitated such a positive and smooth shopping experience for me, I look forward to supporting the business
david s.
these boots are great! ....extremely comfortable ...haven't been off my feet since I got them (apart from bedtime!)
Steve
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 can’t fault them but do put in the effort to get the right size.
Katrina C.
These boots look and feel amazing. I loved them as soon as I opened the box.
I am recommending them to everyone I work with.
Barb H.
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
Tim S.
Currently in the Arctic circle northern lapland. -22 degrees and still comfortable and warm. Great light weight boot that feels like a shoe.
Lachlan
Absolutely brilliant comfy boot, walking on air!
Linda H.
I own many shoes from bprimal - boulder boots, primal 2, joe nimble adventure toes, joe nimble city toes. All of these have been very comfortable and have also lasted well. I bought the Chelsea boots to wear for my work, which involves a lot of walking in paddocks and freshly ploughed fields where I monitor crops ! They are really far too nice for this use but I cannot wear the blundstone boots that other farm workers wear because they feel heavy on my feet and they pinch my toes. So far I have worn the Chelsea boots for two days. They feel lovely and light on my feet, yet also give my feet some protection and my toes can move easily, they are not pinched, and also being a boot rather than a lace up at the end of the day my feet were still clean. The dust and bits of soil and gravel did not get in at all. I am going to improve this further with the use of some gaiters.
Julie R.
using these boots for gardening working brilliantly, very comfortable. Enough protection when using garden tools but good flexibility for feet in bending, kneeing and digging positions
Ulrike M.
Very happy LEMS come in waterproof. I have a narrow foot and was a bit weary if the boot will fit, that's why I went with my real size 8 instead of the recommendation to go half a number size up. It ended up being too small. Easy and fast return and exchange process. 8.5 is a little bit too big but fits perfect with thicker socks.
Liz H.
Great boots, very comfortable, and I like the look of them.
Roberta R.
Roomy, soft, like a glove for my feet!
Caz P.
My favourite ever pair of boots and I am new to barefoot shoes! They are super comfy, fab look and I am totally in love. AMAZING, personable customer service too. Great company and product.
Sharee J.
2nd pair of Lems and will be wearing them forever!
Wil R.
I love a Chelsea style boot and never saw it as an option in the natural style. These fit my foot properly and deliver the desired result of protecting my feet. They are that nice my wife thought they were going out shoes.
Emma Z.
Utilising this boot for a work load is brilliant. Lower back pain is nil to non existent. I just don’t want to take the boot off they are so comfy
Vicki S.
I am happy with these boots but find they are not true bare foot, they also have an uncomfortable footbed when the insole is removed.
Very suitable for those who have not been wearing barefoot shoes for sometime prior to buying Lems.
Because my lumbar spine is impinging 3 nerve roots I can only wear my Lems for short periods otherwise they would be comfortable for every day use.
Maura W.
I love these boots. So very comfortable and light. They mould to my feet even though they are zero drop. I needed work / paddock boots that were also comfortable and good for my feet and these are the only ones I've been able to find that fit the bill
Rebekah R.
Fit great, very comfortable.
Lachlan M.
Bought for farm work, extremely comfortable, plenty’s of room in the boot, like putting on a glove, no more foot pain.
Jake A.
I bought these for my Mum, according to the chart she was a 10.5 , they were too big so we exchanged for her regular size which is a 9. The 9 is a bit squishy but doable , if it wasn’t for the 2week turnaround she would have exchanged again for a 9.5….overall they look great & are very comfortable.
Flower G.
The digital sizing tool is innacurate and hasn't taken my toes into account when e n suggesting shoe sizes for this model is of shoe. I'm usually a 9 in women's. The tool suggested between 8.5 and 9.5 so I chose the 9.5 to be safe and they ate long enough but the toe box is in the shape of a Roman foot so my toeswhich are longer than my big toe hit and rub. It's so difficult buying shoes online and I'm not sure I'd risk the next size up if the toe box is the same... I really wanted these to fit.
Alicja G.
I didn't expect them to be so comfortable, I thought, that I would actually feel the ground.
They feel very soft and kind of cushiony inside. I love the space for my toes and over all quality.
They are definitely my favorite shoes now.
Flower G.
I measured my feet accurately and also used the scanning tool to see what size I was in this brand but turns out both those methods are innacurate. Normally a 7 in men's 9 in women's I recommended 7.5 in men's by my measurements and the scanner. Those were too small so I exchanged for an 8 in men's.... Those are too small so now I'm going to exchange again for a 9 in men's 11 in women's! Taking me two full sizes above what I would normally wear and 1 and a half size above what was recommended using the provided technology. Here's to hoping the final pair fits...
Pamela O.
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!
Danielle M.
cool boots but small, they rub my toes :(
Jessica J.
So far so good. Love how light they are! Space to spread my toes, which is wonderful. Still getting used to barefoot shoes, but I think I’ll be a convert.
lucy k.
This is the most comfortable boot I have ever worn. Highly recommend. It is light, sturdy and looks amazing.
Lambertus B.
Good quality and quick delivery.
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.
Jess M.
Love these boots! So comfy and match with everything. I'm normally a size 8 and I got a size 9 in these boots :)
Lambertus
Good quick service
Shari G.
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 updated. I hope for the hefty price I get a good few years from them. Treating them to protect the leather was a bit of a process I think I may have used the incorrect protection (Dubin??) so "the look" and color changed significantly after this treatment and it did seem to require a lot of product. But I don't care too much about the change in appearance as how comfortable they feel is absolutely outstanding.
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.
Joshua P.
Go up a size if you wear thick socks. Was initially a bit "ahh these are kinda ugly" when they came out of the box. Wear them for a few days and they look like blundstones, they look 'worn' after a few days. These are so comfortable. Easily the most comfy winter shoes I have ever owned. Love them!!
Hattie A.
I love these boots! I only wish I’d bought half size bigger … but I love them anyway
Rhett M.
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.
Amr M.
Can walk in them for hours and they feel like walking in comfie slippers. so impressed ordered a second Lems ( different style).
Love the flat sole barefoot feel.
John B.
Great elastic side boots to add to my extensive Lems collection Took the advice provided and ordered a half size bigger than my other size 11 Lems but found them too big BPrimals easy exchange system allowed me to swap them for size 11s I find these are still a little big but with thick socks they are a comfortable fit.
karen k.
Took a few wears to break in took the insole out after two wears as felt a bit tight but will try it again with them in . Great for winter
Vincent C.
I love them can't wait to receive a smaller size, these are chunkier than my other favourite barefoot shoe brand.
I found it really hard to size accurately even with the the printable size chart and online reviews, it would be good if they had of had a comparison to other leading brand barefoot shoes.
Maria R.
Brilliant use them for everything, my job requires all types of terrain and the boots fit the bill.
Margaret D.
I love my boots, they are so comfortable, I forget I have them on!
Amaya A.
I adore these shoes. I have been wearing them daily since I got them and imagine I won’t ever wear anything else in winter. Perfect. Waterproof, comfortable, easy to run in, good grip. Perfect
Sonya
Excellent zero drop boots! Very good quality and warm. I have a regular width women's 9.5 size foot, if the shoe is a small fit I will order a 10. Based on the recommendations I ordered a 10, with a thick sock they fit well with a thin sock they are roomy but I am happy with the size as I prefer them to be a little on the roomy side as opposed to the snug side. Highly recommend!
Liam B.
Slip on and Ahhhh! Best shoes ever
Mark N.
Boots are as promised! They actually feel like they are already worn in, excellent quality and sizing was as per scaled chart, although I feel like they will stretch a bit. I have been wearing conventional work boots and have been suffering a sore knee. After wearing these boots, pain has considerably subsided, these were an excellent choice.
Johanna P.
Love my boots. Had to exchange for a larger size but worth the wait. Comfiest, lightest boots ever. Recommending to all my friends!
Joy D.
Very comfortable
Light and easy to wear
Wide foot great
Nicola P.
Love these boots. They look great and my feet feel very cosy and warm even when it's frosty out. Had a bit of trouble with the sizing - I ordered a full size up but they were still a little small on my (larger) left foot. The next size up is a little roomy but I plan to put in an insole to make them a bit more snug. Exchange process was a breeze and very happy now!
Vanessa K.
Very happy with my new Lems barefoot boots - they’re comfortable, easy to slip on & off, are a nice design & colour and I finally have dry feet for Winter!
Lyn H.
So light and comfortable from the very first wear, these are my first barefoot boots and I really love how they feel on my feet
Tanya S.
I love these shoes. From the moment I got them and tried them on. I have been wearing them every day !
Helen M.
Great pair of boots. Sooo comfortable and practical.
Mollie C.
I am so happy with these boots! I bought a womens US10 when I'm usually a 9-9.5 and they are roomy, I might have been ok in a 9.5. The leather wore in really quickly, and they are so light. The colour is great, and they don't have that clown like shape of some barefoot boots, they blend in and look like a lightweight version of regular work boots. I have worn them everyday since they arrived, on the farm, into town and walking on gravel tracks. I'm looking forward to seeing how long they last, but so far I'm stoked. Thank you to the bprimal team for your help!
Jenny B.
I ordered a pair for myself to wear on our 1 acre property. My husband tried them on and I had to order him a pair immediately. He took his to NSW and literally lived in them the whole time we were away. That included 3 days of walking around in Sydney. He said they were the most comfy boots he'd ever had.
MargeMargaret P.
I love my new boots. Used the size chart and the fit is spot on. High quality and warm, I know I’ll wear them for years!
Helen
Good fit and extremely comfortable. Very happy with these boots.
Tanya S.
These are new with Lems. I had mine on pre order. They are super comfortable. Light. Warm. Love the colour. Perfect to wear with Jeans, Leggings, Dresses etc.
Gregory T.
Taking the online advice and going for a half size extra , the boot fitted like a glove with a little room to move . It was deceiving when i took them out of the box . I immediately thought they looked too small . Yet to my surprise i was air guitaring within seconds . these are the first pair of boots where i don't have to wrestle myself to get on or off !

comfortable straight away
Sharon L.
Beautifully made boot.
I followed the sizing instructions exactly, however having a narrow/slim foot the boot swims on my feet and feels more like a pair of large gum boots.
Has a lot of room above the foot as well as width and length.
More suited to wide/high feet.
Emily M.
I erred on the side of caution and ordered a whole size up and I shouldn’t have- they would be very true to size. Despite this- these are the most comfortable boot I have ever worn. I’m on my feet all day and these are easy to wear, comfortable and can handle any outdoor condition which I love.
julia s.
although they were on back order they arrived quickly and fitted like a glove. very happy
Amelia R.
I was waiting for these boots to restock for quite some time, well worth the wait. I'm really happy with them. I've made the switch to barefoot about 6months ago and my boots are the last pair of shoes I needed to replace. I went from Blundstones to these and I could never ever look back. Great waterproof so far, open toe box is amazing, feels like the amount of space in the toe box of Birkenstocks. Although they are physically much sleeker than birkies. They are light and when walking on rocks you can feel the outline of the shapes underfoot. I am normally size 8; I upsized accordingly to size 9 and am very happy. If the inner sole were removed I could get away with 8.5 but being new to barefoot and living in Daylesford (cold Victoria) I prefer the extra padding of the insole for thermal and comfort reasons. For a barefoot boot, I haven't found a more aesthetically pleasing boot on the market. Great all round alternative to heeled boots like Blundstones
Steve M.
Early days yet but so far so good. Have been doing 25 K a week ( 1 hour every morning) in Altra’s for the last year trying to rehabilitate my weak , stiff orthotic dependent feet. Now wearing these zero drop boots for work 38 hours per week. Quite comfortable and I think they could wear well. I wear out the right side heel on Redback boots rapidly but my Altra’s show no apparent wear after close to 1000k walking around an oval carrying a weighted rucksack. Because I don’t walk with heel strikes anymore, I think these Lems boots will further improve my feet and be reasonably durable.
Joshua-Rey R.
My new daily driver. Though i still take it off when actually driving. Still prefer driving bare feet.
True to size when wearing thin socks
Ann M.
I’ve tried them in the wet on a long walk. My feet stayed dry and oh so comfortable.
Still getting used to having room for my toes. What freedom!!!!
Jerry B.
Great footwear and this new design is a wonderful addition to the collection. Just right for Winter!
Justin Schooth
Product is as described. Comfortable, good grip and as waterproof as an elastic sided boot can be. An awesome substitute for traditional Blundstone style boot (and better quality). The only downside to Lems products is their sizing. I have purchased 5 different styles of Lems shoes and have a different size in each one !
Widefoot
Instantly feel good with quite wide feet too. Colour is nice and goes great with jeans.
