CANVAS + ECO-CONSCIOUS? CLEARLY A WINNER
With an upper made of 100% organic canvas, our newest edition to the Chukka family was created with cotton grown from natural seeds on a certified organic farm. This farm rules so hard that they only use organic farming practices without the use of pesticides, artificial fertilisers, or other harmful chemicals. The lining? Well that’s made from 100% recycled polyester which came from recycled PET bottles. And, if you’re still not sold on how great these Chukkas are, even the shoelaces are made from recycled material. Believe it or not, your feet are about to get even more vegan-friendly.
But enough about what they’re made of, and let’s get into what they’re made for. Because everyone looks good in black, there’s basically zero scenarios where these wouldn’t enhance your outfit. Whether you’re disconnecting in nature or suiting up for date night, these zero-drop, wide toe box Chukkas are one of the only pairs you’ll need in your wardrobe, besides your other Lems, of course.

SIZING INFO
AustraliaI love the look and feel of these shoes. My only qualm is they rub a little at the back (quite rigid below the tag) however I saw on a previous review that this area softens with time. I plan on ordering another pair in a different colour but will go up a half size next time.
AustraliaGood quality and fit
Lems - Chukka Canvas - Blackout (Unisex)
Fit true to size, maybe a little narrower than other wide toe box but look much nicer. I like the little extra support in soleplate. The higher fit on the the ankle takes getting used to, it's a little stiff so have to wear it in. Buy I like them
I was introduced to minimalist shoes with the Vivobarefoot Primus Lite which is, I read after wearing for a few months, a pretty hardcore minimalist shoe. The Lems Chukka, therefore, feel a bit sturdier than what I had grown used to and would probably make it a better transition shoe than my Vivos were. The Chukkas are wide in the toe box and very comfortable as a result. The fabric of the upper feels strong - so much that on the first few wears it was quite rigid, but this seems to be softening with wear. The upper is also tightly knit and stops splashes of water getting through, but I wouldn't trust these in an extended downpour. The sole is flexible but not as much as I had grown used to, so for anyone new to minimalist shoes, this won't overload you with sensitivity in the sole if your foot. The sizing is a little tricky, I looked on the Lems website and measured my foot, and also had a chat with Faye on the bprimal site, and the best size for me ended up being 1.5 sizes smaller than what Lems' sizing chart suggested. Otherwise, my experience buying with bprimal was great; quick, friendly and reliable advice and great customer service.
