The Trailhead is our take on a minimalist hiking shoe equipped for any trail, trek or urban travel adventure. With its natural shape toe box, minimal heel drop, and lightweight design, it's sure to keep pushing your boundaries.

Whether you're climbing a 14er, going on a bike and brew tour, or even backpacking around the world, the Trailhead will be sure to take you far away from the ordinary. Designed for the trail but styled for the city streets, this low cut hiking shoe is the answer for your every move.

Stormy Night

We recommend ordering UP 1/2 size from your normal US size. If you have wider feet, we do not suggest this shoe.

Unsure of your size? We recommend ordering 2+ pairs at a time, as we offer a flat shipping fee of $5.95 & free exchange options for US customers.

This shoe is available in one width - MEDIUM Natural-Shape, as highlighted below:

https://cdn.shopify.com/s/files/1/0076/8812/6522/files/FitCharts23-MEDIUM_480X480

RUGGED UPPER

The upper is made of durable materials that stand up to the abuses of trails, and also daily wear and tear.

MOUNTAIN-TO-TOWN OUTSOLE

Engineered with a low profile rubber tread that combines the best of both worlds: ample traction on trails, AND excellent durability on pavement.

LOW HEEL DROP

With 4mm of drop, compared to the traditional 12mm of drop, the Trailhead naturally decreases heel-striking for a more natural gait and healthier posture.

FIRM CUSHIONING

When your foot is on too soft of cushion, you end up with pain and discomfort. We've formulated a firm EVA midsole that'll keep your feet happy all day long.

Reviews Summary
Customers say these shoes are extremely comfortable right out of the box with no break-in period needed. The wide toe box provides excellent room for natural foot shape, though many note they run small and recommend sizing up half to a full size. Users appreciate the lightweight design and versatile styling that works for everything from office wear to light hiking. The grip and tread perform well on various surfaces. Many customers become repeat buyers, with some owning multiple pairs. Common feedback includes praise for the zero-drop design and overall construction quality. Some mention the toe box could be wider, and a few find the soles stiffer than expected.

    Best shoes on the market, if you like retro-sneakers. Too bad they did away with the best colorway. The navyblue with gold laces was the best.

    Great show, quality can improve!

    I love Lems and I love the design of the Trailheads. They are super comfortable and I like the fact that I can wear them for light hikes and they don’t look out of place in a nice restaurant, which makes them a great travel shoe!

    I would give them a 5/5, but the quality has been lacking. On my first pair, the stitching around the toe unraveled on both shoes. On my second pair, the blue webbing material at the toe has a hole in it on the same spot on both shoes. This tells me there is something wrong with either the design or the quality of materials used.

    I would like to get another pair, but I won’t do so until there is an improvement in these issues.

    Just bought another pair

    This is easily the most durable shoe I've ever owned. It's been almost three years of near daily wear, and they're still holding up. They're great on a hike. The soles are nice and firm, and the tread is good. They're low tops, so the ankle support is what you would expect. I mostly use them to walk my dog around town, typically a couple miles a day. Other sneakers tend to fall apart within a year. Excited for the color of my new pair.

    Great kicks

    First pair of Lems and they’re unexpectedly very comfortable. I read other reviews and sized up, one whole size, and they fit perfectly. It’s been a treacherous winter here in the Northeast and the treads have served me well on ice. Will definitely buy another pair of Lems.
