The best of Lems is no more...I think.
This is hands down my favorite Lems shoe. I've worn them almost daily for years with minimal wear and I always receive compliments. The break in period took a while perhaps but I'm fine with that. They can be worn on so many different occasions - with jeans on the weekend or at work with khakis. Even look cool with shorts. I bought one of the last pairs that were half price a while back when it looked like they were being discontinued, but I say again, these are by far my faves. I also have a couple boulder boots (to tall in height and short looking in length but still solid), boulder boot mid which has really nice not-too-shiny leather and are good for work, but I favor the chukka suede over them all as well as the offerings I see on the website. Should have written a review earlier!
