If anyone has any advice for BIFL , wide toed winter boots that are also waterproof , available to be shipped to canada, dont use goretex, AND have good traction on ice or steel cleats? please let me know.
Edit : I forgot to add I dont buy from lem’s shoes. Ever again.I plan on walking like 10 or 20 KMs in -30 °C weather with these almost every day. Yes in the snow, mud, rain, or ice. Whatever I encounter.
Also something that I notice about that boot is that there lat met to med met based on this picture of a foot https://www.researchgate.net/figure/Foot-sole-area-measurement-The-surface-areas-of-9-different-individual-regions-were_fig3_325610182
My feet are extremely wide through it s entirety .
From the lat arch to med arch of my foot that is probably wider than the distance from the lat met to med met for my foot. So there is the possibility that barefoot boots might be a best option for me since they are probably the most malleable shoes in the world so they should be able to hug around my sole without squeezing too tight.
They probably won’t be BIFL, but I recently bought the Lems Summit Waterproof boots. They have a “foot shaped” toe box and a relatively wide fit. I should be able to let you know how they fare on ice and snow within a couple of weeks.
They list a bunch of Canadian stockists on their website on the store locator page. I won’t give a direct link because my comment already sounds enough like an ad.
Ah sorry damn I forgot to add I dont buy from lem’s shoes. Ever again.
Bad experience?
veery bad. I oost 900 dollars cause of them…
Well this just makes me want to know more! I don’t know that much about the company, but I didn’t think they had any shoes or boots that expensive. Or was it a multi-pair fiasco?
Ya I bought 3 pairs and I tested them on carpeted floor , as they said, and when I returned all the shoes cause they didmt fit they didnt refund me for ANY the shoes. And remmeber that lem’s return policy says no exceptions for international orders that are returned and not refunded for so…
