Scent bird is dope.. I've ordered from them for over 4 yrs. The latest one I'm loving is Tom Ford's Tobacco Vanilla ' ❤ he's right, it's great to be able to try a small portion first in case you don't like the scent because some scents i love cost over $300 (Creed's Kilian etc) and I don't like wasting money

Yo can you cut the LeBron witness sevens in half please?

@elsobnumberone3306 2 месяца назад

Yo I actually bought a pair of these. You have always had such high praises for Lems, so I decided "The next pair of shoes I get, I'm trying them." And I have to say, they live up to the hype. They're the perfect all around shoe for me. I can wear them to work and walk around on concrete and pavement all day eith absolutely no foot pain. They breathe so my feet don't sweat. The toe box accommodates my feet perfectly (no toe squeeze!). And the fit and finish is perfect. I've never inspected a shoe out of the box and not found imperfections with them. Thanks so much for the recommendation and all of the free education on shoes. I've learned so much from your channel.

@fredseekingbibleturth 2 месяца назад

I had forgotten that you tried splay. I got a pair of splay, and I have to say they are supper comfortable. Although when I first put them on they were a bit narrow in the waist of the shoe. Thankfully though the middle stretched out quickly and became the most comfortable shoes I have ever warn.

@onefake 3 месяца назад

So excited to see what you discover in this series. I've been looking for years for that perfect shoe, pretty much in line with your requirements. My compromise so far has been the minimal drop. I've found plenty of shoes that are wide, comfortable, flexible and stylish, but they all have running style shoe drop. Not sure why it's so hard for companies to make shoes that look cool with near zero drop.

@patrickjclarke 3 месяца назад

Also, in 2nd place for me after the Nike Flex is the Flux ADAPT HIGH TOP TRAINER - GRAPHENE. Looks great, interesting hex-based cushion and super light weight.

@carltuckerson7718 3 месяца назад

My favorite casual barefoot shoe is definitely the Icarus Ascent gen 2! You should try them out, I think they fit what you're looking for to a T!

@patrickjclarke 3 месяца назад

love this series, as I too am on a quest! The closest I've found is the Nike Flex Experience Run 12 in wide. Flex isn't zero drop, but it's just enough, IMO. The toe box is perfect, it looks good black on black, has great ground feel, and is super comfy. it's a shame Nike doesn't do more Flex products.

@michelleborchardt199 3 месяца назад

I bought a pair of women’s in white, which are WAY comfortable! They may not be sleek, but look less like “work shoes” in the white color way. I wear them on the daily when I walk/hike with my dog and they’ve held up reasonably (the tread is wearing after 6 months on the bottom, but average for most shoes for the terrain and length of walks).

@walterbryan1798 3 месяца назад

@vickiignaszak5041 2 месяца назад

I've never tried barefoot shoes but with my hypermobility I really need support in a shoe. Personally I find a birkenstock hard to beat. The birkenstock bend is like the oswegos you cut in half awhile ago, except with laces. I have 3 pairs and it's pretty much the only thing I wear now.

@zetachaox 3 месяца назад

I tried these on, they do look a bit wider in person. I think some paneling like in the boulder boot would've slimmed them visually. Unfortunately they felt tight around the base of the laces so I had to send them back.

@MrCzamczak 3 месяца назад

While I was looking for Lems Boulder Boots, which was hard to come by being from central-eastern europe, I came across Camper Chasis High as an available alternative. I'm pretty pleased with my purchase and I think those might be pretty close to ticking all of yours boxes. Woul'd love to hear what you have to say about those!

@jamesheaney5150 3 месяца назад

I was skeptical about zero drop/barefoot shoes for a long time. You actually convinced me to try one, and I haven't looked back . I have 3 pairs of Lem's: The Boulder boot, Primal Zen, and Nine2Five. They're great, especially since I'm too old to worry if they look clownish. The only situations they don't cover are the muddy hike and rocky shoreline. I'll take a look at the Barefoot Rangers.

I have about 10 pairs of lems. However, my go to casual shoe that they have is their chillums. They are fabric and not leather so I wouldn't say they are as durable. but they are super comfortable and come in several different colors.

Thats what i came to this channel and subscribed for. Still love the content and what ya doing

@seadsejfovic9127 3 месяца назад

theres a difference between boots and sneakers in this sense... he doesnt mark them down for the cloth lining or subpar leather (like he did for the boulder boots) because thats to be expected for a sneaker. As far as sneakers go these are up there in terms of quality and comfort, you are overpaying a little bit for made in china shoes, but that because they dont have good competition in this niche.

@winc06 3 месяца назад

I bought a pair of these about 3 months ago and they are so comfortable. However I recently scuffed the toe and it peeled off thin piece of rubbery feeling skin about the size of a nickel instead of just scratching it which made me think it was not really leather. Kind of reassured by your show, but I have never seen leather do that.

@unattributed1641 3 месяца назад

Do you have the Thursday sneakers or the Grant Stone sneakers on your list? I think you've looked at the Thursday's before, but not the Grant Stone.... IMO, the Grant Stone is a bit pricey, but given the quality of their boots they are probably worth checking out.

@Fistafandula Месяц назад

Not sure if you will check an old video comments but I recently saw the Reef Swellsole Neptune shoe and it looks like it has potential for this category.

@IThinkNowListenUp 23 дня назад

I'd like to see Greats cut in half. The originals were very comfy for my wide feet, looked good and were good underfoot. Sometime after year 2 of Greats founding, they changed how they feel underfoot and the footbed is horribly uncomfortable for 'all day comfort' for my feet. I still wear my beaten gen1's over my newer gen2's - I feel like they are riding off the marketing, hype and comfort of their generation 1 Royales and now are over-rated.

@kthmtchll 3 месяца назад

Something that really irks me about Lems is that despite advertising their shoes as wide, they don't release data for the width of their shoes in their sizing charts (even if you ask them). This means if your feet are actually wide (like mine, 9-10 EEE) you can't guage if the shoes will fit. I bought the boulder boots out of desperation cause there's barely anything else on the market that both claims width and is remotely stylish, and they still came out too tight. Withholding that info is very disheartening for all the people that actually need wide toe boxes and aren't just in it as a lifestyle thing. Edit: Not to mention hitting you with a $100 import fee upon delivery that they don't advertise beforehand (at least in canada) does little to help sentiments.
