The Lems Waterproof Boulder Boot is a zero-drop, minimalist hiking and everyday boot built around a breathable waterproof membrane and a pre-treated leather upper. It keeps the brand's lightweight frame at about 12.9 oz per boot, with a reinforced outer construction and thicker thread for durability. It suits people who want a packable, barefoot-style boot for wet trails, travel and daily wear. Against conventional waterproof hikers it gives up stiffness and heavy lug support but wins on weight, ground feel and packability.

Owners rate it highly, praising the light weight, roomy fit and all-day comfort of a zero-drop boot that handles wet conditions. Complaints center on the thin sole and on waterproofing that fades without re-waxing.
The Waterproof Boulder Boot is a lightweight, zero-drop boot with a breathable waterproof membrane. The membrane stops water from getting into the boot and lets heat from the feet escape. It weighs 12.9 oz in a men's size 9.
The upper is pre-treated full-grain oiled leather. Waterproofing wax or spray can be reapplied to extend its water repellency. The boot is built with a thicker gauge thread and a stronger outer construction. The tongue is gusseted.
The fit is the Lems WIDE Natural-Shape. The insole can be removed for more volume inside the shoe or more ground contact. This is a unisex shoe, so the width is the same for men's and women's sizes.
