Tibal and the team were very helpful at the Neutral Bay store. They were very accommodating allowing me to try on a bunch of different type of shoes to fit my needs. Would 100% recommend!
This cream is quite good, help for massage, I feel relieved when I use it.
Excellent shoes, good quality. I got for my kid, very comfy !!!
These are the best boots I have ever worn.
I've worn them most days in all conditions for the last 3 years and just bought more for a trip to Europe.
The best all round barefoot shoes. BPrimal recommend go 1/2 size up but for me the the 9.5 US were fine
I wear my Peak9+GTX for golf. Have never had wet feet, in Coffs Harbour thatâs a good thing. Very comfortable shoes. Have just bought a second pair so Iâm future proof.
Sadly not for me. Found them to hard on my feet, not enough flex.
Light and comfortable. Loving this boots, I was out all night but didn't have pain on my feet when I got home. My feet didn't feel too tired either. hopefully they are durable as well.
These shoes are probably a 3 star to be fair, but I went with 2 because of the massive disappointment with where Lems have gone with the boulder boot. I freaking love the OG canvas brown boulder boot, I've worn them for years and they are still going, albeit the sole is worn down and not as comfy when I got them several years ago.
What I hate most about the Boulder Boot Grip WP is the lack of flex which makes it feel and perform like a regular boot. Yes, it has a wide toe box and zero drop but you don't get the ground feeling or flex that makes sure your feet do the work and they stay strong and healthy. They are quite heavy for a barefoot shoe too, I was really surprised and its very noticeable compared to the canvas model. Ankle support is way too much, another no no with barefoot shoes - the whole idea is for the foot and ankle to get flexible and strong, they can't with rigid soles and padding around the ankle. Not a fan of the speed hooks either.
They do seem well made, solid, durable and look good but they're not a barefoot shoe. This boot is perfect for people transitioning to barefoot shoes from normal shoes. They are a good first step to get familiar with the wide toe box and zero drop, but I definitely wouldn't recommend for seasoned barefoot shoe wearers. I'm really disappointed Lems are going this way with the boot, I'd love to see them bring back the canvas, a more flexible and lighter model.
Thank you for taking the time to share such detailed and thoughtful feedback, Tony. We completely understand your disappointment, especially after having such a great experience with the original canvas Boulder Boots for so many years.
The Boulder Boot Grip WP is designed to be a more rugged, weather-resistant option, so it does have a different feel underfoot compared with the lighter and more flexible original Boulder Boot. We appreciate that this won't suit everyone, particularly those who prefer maximum flexibility and ground feel.
Your feedback about the weight, flexibility, ankle padding and speed hooks is really valuable, and we'll be happy to pass it along to Lems. We're glad you found the boots well made and durable, but we're sorry this particular model wasn't the barefoot experience you were hoping for.
Thanks again for sharing such a considered review and for being a long-time Boulder Boot wearer. đŖ

Bargain vs vivobarefoot RA.
They are quite low volume, but I wouldn't necessarily size up, as they are going to stretch. But yes, first wear, they are half a size small.
Quality all seems perfect, greatly exceeds expectations for the price.
Toe box width is good, mid and heel is perfect, not too wide.
Vivobarefoot RA had way to much width in mid and heal, and has very thin sole, so this shoe is my new favourite casual/formal shoe, it solves both of those. You don't need paper thin soles on your formal casual shoes.
Durability is unknown, I will update.
