Lems Shoes: The Holy Grail in Footwear for an Amputee

Lems Shoes: The Holy Grail in Footwear for an Amputee

Healthier ways to stay sustained at work

It’s not uncommon to race off to work, power through the day and focus on health after the fact. Maybe it’s squeezing in a bike ride after work or in the early morning.

THE LEMS TRAILHEAD: BEHIND THE DESIGN

The Trailhead came about from a need for a shoe that can do it all; walking, hiking, biking, traveling, and even light running. When this idea came to me, there wasn’t an all-around shoe suitable for trail and road use or a defined category for this particular style of footwear, therefore, we needed to create one and named it the Mountain-to-Town collection.
