Lems - Outlander Waterproof - Evergreen (Unisex)

I’ve done 150 kms in them. They are indeed waterproof, light yet sturdy. They do not require any break in period however I had to make adjustments for the minimal drop from heel to toe but they felt comfortable throughout. The threads on the outsole are thinner than regular hiking boots without any loss in traction. Descents were surprisingly easier due to the lower profile. The boots were more flexible, a big plus feeling the terrain though on rocky surfaces I felt gravel underfoot without discomfort. No blister issues. Unfortunately, I had to replace the laces as they too short.

Awesome shoe for my foot! Got them as work shoes in the Victorian bush

Love my Lems!

I hit the jackpot with the Lems outlanders, they needed no ‘breaking in’ time, they are as comfortable as wearing a pair of good, reliable old sneakers!
Looking forward to taking them on my next thru-hike in SW WA.
Faye was extra helpful when I emailed asking for sizing advice, and even though they were a pre-order pair of shoes, they arrived with more haste than I expected.

Anything I wear I will wear until it falls apart. Out of all my shoes over my lifetime the only ones I haven't been able to destroy have been Doc's but we all know they are exhausting on your feet with the weight and incredibly uncomfortable without an insole.

I got these a few months before going overseas where I was doing a trek through the mountains and walking the whole time to make sure they were broken in and as good as the claims. I also live on a farm so I'm on my feet all day and in all kinds of weather.

I've never worn a pair of shoes that had literally no break in, they were so comfortable I'd forget to take them off when I walked in the door at the end of the day. It's now been almost a year since I purchased them and they are almost exclusively the only shoes I wear and if you cleaned them up they'd look brand new. The tred hasn't even slightly worn which surprised me, no stitching coming away from any high pressure bend points. They're still as comfortable as day one. The only thing as everyone says, the shoe laces are too short. But honestly I just tie a knot at the tips of the laces and slide them on and off anyway.

I hope by the time I finally manage to break these shoes this model is still available because I absolutely love them.

Love them!!! I want the switchback sandals next!!!

Really comfortable right out of the box.
Great for hiking or city walking. I also find them good for running. Light and supportive.
They are waterproof, but I found the outside fabric absorbed moisture that wicked inside. I have given them a waterproof spray and hope that hat fixes the problem

This is the second time I have bought these walking boots. Good lightweight boot for long treks. Laces need a double knot as they are quite slippery. Prefer the laces on Lems

I am absolutely loving my new shoes. Super comfy for a bushwalk or out and about.

Straight out of the box these are the most comfortable shoes I've ever worn, by far.
They arrived while I was at work and I put them on, after work I went out for the night doing a fair bit of walking and not the slightest bit of rubbing or feeling like they need any breaking in.
They weren't as thin as I expected which honestly I'm glad about.
I've had an issue where I don't stand correctly, I roll onto my outer sides of my feet and research kept suggesting I go barefoot design. Normally even after a full night's sleep I wake up with aching feet. Putting these on it felt like my feet breathed a sigh of relief, the space to spread out was instantly a relief. When I got home I didn't even think to take them off. No aches from pressure where I normally have, and I could feel I was already walking in a more correct position.
I am normally a women's 7.5 I went 8.5 as recommended to go up a size, I may have gotten away with an 8 but I feel pretty happy with the size choice.
Highly recommend, pretty sure I'll be getting rid of all my other shoes.

These shoes are super comfortable and a great fit, also importantly warm for winter also.

Loving these boots so far. Super comfy and great when it rains.

Love these shoes! Super comfy. Look great. I was on the cusp of sizes, so went up a size and glad I did.

The best shoes I've ever had!
In my job I hike a lot in National Parks and these shoes are the most comfortable shoes I've ever owned. No need to 'walk them in' at home. Not one 'pinch' or 'blister' straight to work, and they have not bothered me once!
I did the foot scan for size online, but was sceptical how accurate that would be, so I went to a store and the size given to me online was spot on! So no need to worry when buying online!
Buy them... you will not regret it! ☺️

I ordered a size 9 outlander waterproof boot which was 1 size bigger than my regular shoes and had to replace them with a 9.5 which are fine. The exchange process was flawless and I’ve used my boots on my regular morning walks of 8km and they are super comfortable and I can’t wait to try them out on a proper hike in a couple of weeks .I’ve purchased lems shoes in the past from beprimal before and they are great. I highly recommend them.

Love it if it came standard with some longer laces, shoe build and quility is great and very comfortable. Very good tread for wet grass.

Great boots

These boots are so comfortable!!! They seem to be of excellent quality. I cannot wait to take my first hike in them!!!

Nice looking boot. Originally went a half size lower than size app indicator because my other Lems shoes felt a bit loose, but size indicator was right and had to exchange.
Keeps my feet pretty cozy without needing thick socks in (Australian) winter. Room for my toes and lower to the ground than my previous hiking shoes. I can't really speak to the waterproofness, as I haven't worn then in too much rain.
The other really issue I have is the laces being a bit short to tie when through all the eyelets.

Really pleased with the product and the service was great, the product arrived very quickly.

Love these, jumped straight in and no need to break them in they feel great. Lightweight and comfortable. I was surprised by how narrow they are for what size I got. They fit me fine but I have to wear the laces pretty loose which means they aren’t long enough to tie up properly. Easy fix, new laces, but I’d consider going a half size up if you have fat feet. I’m not sure if I’m right, but I think the half size in shoes is just a wider version, not a longer version. Good service, got to me when they said they would.

Do not buy these if you’re expecting hiking boots, like I was. They are a good looking comfortable boot but not built for actual outdoors in my opinion. This is because:
- they’re not very grippy (wet rocks and roots are a nightmare)
-the lacing system is terrible and very difficult to keep tight (no ankle hook rivets - now I know why in all the promo shots they’re barely laced)
- no under foot channel for gaiter strap
- some poor construction (the lace strap on the tongue came unstitched within the first few hours of use).

All in all these are more like a wide toe box version of high top vans rather than anything intended for hiking or outdoors. I do think they look good but definitely is not what I was expecting or what I actually need. Especially for something that costs as much as good hiking boots. Disappointing.

These are fantastic boots for hiking if you are familiar with the Lems range. I wore these for a 5km, then a 18km, then an overnight totally 25km and found no wearing in issues at all. I will be doing the 123km Cape to Cape in WA in April and I have no concerns at all for my feet in these beauties! I wear mine purely with Injinji socks. I have previously worn my size 11 Primal 2s for training, gym, running, walking and been very happy. Noticing the toe box difference between the primals and the Outlanders (Primal xwide VS Outlander wide) I reached out to the Bprimal team to confirm size recommendation for the Outlanders. The recommendation to size up 0.5 a size was correct and I definitely make the recommendation to others who find Primal 2s a perfect true fit for their wide foot. Only issue i have found is the laces are too short to have the top looks and still tie up. Additionally, the laces have the classic slip, so double knotting/looping is essential or perhaps replace with longer laces.

Hands down the best shoes I've ever purchased. The style is incredible, and quality of build is fantastic. I've come from wearing vans basically my whole life to these. I'm wearing these as an everyday casual/hiking boot when needed. I work in retail and I'm on my feet 10 hours plus per day and for the first time, my feet aren't sore.
Comfortable, natural feeling, stylish, quality. It feels like I'm more barefoot than wearing no shoes at all. If you're like me and are used to having to size up for wider feet then go with your regular size. There's plenty of width in these bad boys. The only complaint I have is that I think these shoes have ruined all other shoes for me now. 11/10

The Lems outlanders were exactly as promised.
Instantly comfortable, grippy in the soggy rainforest i walked in.
I personally really also like the look of them.
I think I'm probably gonna be a customer for life.

Great boots and prompt service. thank you!

Very comfortable and light.
