Lems Chillum Features

Comfort and Fit

Made with the same materials as the popular Boulder Boot, the Chillum is an exceedingly lightweight, minimalist shoe that’s perfect for those transitioning to a barefoot shoe. The ultra-thin, 0.8mm removable cork footbed provides a slight cushion for all-day comfort, like a memory foam. Its flexibility and wide toe box also allow for your feet to naturally spread and feel the ground without compromising the soft comfort and stability across a variety of activities.

Traction

Tough outsole provides great grip and traction across various terrains, including wet and rocky conditions. However, these are not made for strenuous and extreme outdoor activities.

Durability

Made with a mixture of quality materials, this shoe provides great durability across various activities and is long-lasting, making it a great choice for both indoor and outdoor activities.

Support

With a slightly thicker outsole, a removable cork insole, and quality materials all around the upper, the Chillum is guaranteed to support your feet throughout the day.

Protection

The reasonably thick, proprietary rubber outsole not only provides comfort but protects the feet from outside elements. While you can still naturally feel close to the ground, you’ll be able to walk for long periods across rocky surfaces without feeling bumps and spikes.

Breathability

Made with a soft mesh, moisture-wicking, odor-absorbing, and fast-drying material, this shoe gives great breathability for all activities and climates. It’ll keep your feet nice and cool throughout warm weather!

Style

Not only are these functional and practical shoes great for light hiking, biking, and running, but they’re also super stylish and are perfect for the office, date night, or just an everyday shoe! Customers especially love the shoes in white as it pairs perfectly with any outfit!

Flexibility and Responsiveness

The mix of quality materials make the Chillum extremely flexible and responsive.

Lems Chillum Construction

Outsole

9.0mm LemsRubber™ (air-injection rubber) outsole is thick and sturdy to provide the ultimate protection from outdoor elements. Customers report the extreme durability and protection this shoe provides through the construction of its outsole.

Midsole

An ultra-thin and removable 0.8mm cork top layer with 3.0mm PU underlayer that provides a slight cushion for long-lasting comfort.

Upper

The upper is made of suede, canvas, and wool material with a polyester lining. Another special option is the Blackjack color, which uses vegan microfiber instead of suede. The soft mesh material also delivers great, all-around breathability.

Lacing System

Soft and easy-to-tie laces that make slipping the shoe on and off as convenient as possible.

Conclusion

Overall, the Chillum is a perfect shoe for beginners who are transitioning to barefoot shoes. The mix of quality materials makes this the most lightweight, flexible, and comfortable shoe on the market without compromising its sturdiness and durability. Customers especially love its versatility and how stylish it is for any occasion!
