Description

Introducing the Lems Chillum, the lower-cut cousin of the beloved Boulder Boot. Made with a variety of high-quality materials, including wool for added comfort, this lace-up shoe is perfect for both casual everyday wear and stylish outings with friends. Experience the ultimate combination of style and comfort with the Chillum.

ULTRA LIGHTWEIGHT

These everyday shoes are some of the lightest on the market and are intended to feel like you're wearing nothing at all.

CORK FOOTBED

By adding an ultra-thin 0.8mm cork top layer, your foot will be feeling the benefits of natural coolness and comfort, with or without socks.

ZERO-DROP

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

WIDE TOE BOX

Unlike traditional footwear that squeeze the toes together, our foot-shaped toe box allows for maximum room giving the toes ultimate freedom to wiggle and spread.

Lems Chillums

Fantastic shoe, very comfortable, roomy and take no time to break in. I love these shoes.

Store staff were extremely knowledgeable and helpful. Thank you.

This is my first pair of barefoot shoes. Been wearing them for 3 weeks. I wanted something casual so this is why I chose this model. They were comfortable when I tried them in store but after wearing them a few days, I realized they were a bit too narrow for my feet. One of my feet is extra wide due to a bunion. I bought a shoe stretcher and it has definitely helped for my foot to be more comfy. Like mentioned by others, these aren’t breathable and run hot. I wear them with thin merino socks and after ~30 minutes my feet are hot. I plan on getting the Primal Zen or Primal 3 for longer walks since they have breathable materials.

Love the chillum!

Comfortable right out of the box, I really enjoy the cork insole. The green colour is even better in person!

Great for dancing!

Got these for dancing and the tougher bottoms is great for wood surfaces.

They can get a biiit hot but I am using them to dance for multiple hours. Overall really comfortable and highly recommend

So far so good

Bought these about a month ago. It is so refreshing to actual feel what I am walking on, texture, changes in elevation. They are super comfortable. As part of a healthy transition however, I started wearing them less than an hour a day and am working my way up from there. At first I wore them too long and started getting some foot / ankle discomfort. My feet have been supported by orthotics in "normal" shoes for decades, so I have to be mindful of that and transition slowly, in conjunction with foot strengthening exercises.

Quickly reducing dependence on orthotics

The staff in the store were knowledgeable and very helpful. The shoes are high quality and cool looking! I have been surprised how quickly I seem to be transitioning from my need to wear orthotics.

So comfortable!

Very comfortable pair of shoes. Not quite as barefoot as I’m used to but man these are great. I love the green colour and it looks great in a multitude of situations. Seriously considering another pair in a different colour but I own too many shoes already. I definitely need to try more Lems now. Highly recommend these.

Not Bad

Figured I'd try these as I was looking for a barefoot style shoe with a thicker sole. They are comfy and fit well. Only downside is that there seems to be a thinner padding at the back of the heel on one of the shoes. Not enough to cause a blister, but enough to feel that something is off. I wouldn't blame that on the seller and just chalk it up as a manufacturing defect since it's only on one side. I still wear them most of the day and they seems to be holding up well so far.

Super comfortable cute shoe

When I first tried on the Chillum, I was shocked at how cushiony the sole felt- for a minimal shoe, this is not the norm. Transitioning to minimal shoes at age 53 I need a little more shock absorbency than the average minimal shoe- Lems shoes provide this, Chillums are no exception. They look like any white canvas shoe except wider in the toe box.

I wore these on a tour in Greece. A lot of walking on cobblestone streets - no problem. And they looked good for dining out. I highly recommend them.

I've had so many compliments on these shoes. The best thing however is how very comfortable they are! It's hard to beat the barefoot feel with no pain walking on hard pavement.

I wish I'd known about these years ago. Been wearing them extensively for long walks at home and abroad, and I'm obsessed. I'm planning to get other colours and styles in the coming months. I sized up a half size based on reviews, and for winter and boots I will likely go up again another half size to 10W from my usual 9 in "regular" shoes to accommodate heavier socks, but these work fine with light socks. My feet are too wide for most conventional "wide" widths, and these feel great but look more or less like conventional skate shoes, which is a great combination. I'm spreading the word to friends and family!

Comfortable barefoot shoe. More “normal” looking toe box than my LEMS runners and Chelsea boots.

I do like these shoes, but the sizes are absolutely insane. The Lems website says to go a half size up, so I did that, but when I got them it felt like they were a full size too small. I normally wear a men's size 10, but I went up to a 11.5 for these to fit. When I got the exchange, I was skeptical because they still felt kinda weird compared to my other barefoot shoes, as if the design was wonky, but when I actually wore them out, they were fine. They are definitely much thicker than my other barefoot shoes, I wanted something a little more forgiving than my Vivos to wear to work, and my feet have been comfortable in these. I took out the inserts as my foot is a bit heavy on the gas pedal on the drive to and from work because of the extra thickness.

It's a good looking shoe, a nice marriage of casual and formal, and they feel good on the feet if you want the extra cushion for long days.

I have only worn my Lems a few times. I love the wide toe box. That part is very comfortable. The soles are too flat for my comfort. My feet were very achy after wearing them. Would prefer a bit of cushion.

Glad I went up a 1/2 size! Fit is great. Toe box is wide and my pinkie toes are happy.

I really like these. I went an entire size up and they fit well with lots of room for toes to move freely. there's a good amount of cushion that makes walking on in the city for hours at a time more comfortable, didnt really feel there was a break-in period which is nice. only thing I noticed that's a slight downside for summer is that the shoes trap heat so the feet feel a bit on the warmer side throughout the day

Lems Chillum is super comfortable and cute at the same time. My friends keep asking me what is the brand name of the shoe ü§£. I normally wear size 6 but the 6.5 is perfectly fine . I even wear it or without the Wild toe separator. Love the shoe!
