Women's Primal Pursuit Mid Waterproof (Discontinued)

From the minute I received these, I knew they were going to be my favorite day hikers. They feel like a hug for my feet. I did have to order a half size up for the best fit.

I simply adore these shoes! I got a pair on a whim at Happy Hiker in Albuquerque last spring. They are lightweight and so comfortable! I bought these for work, as I often walk 5-7 miles a day at my job and was looking for something that could keep me dry in the rain, but weighed less than my clunky Salomons. I never realized how much pressure my old shoes were putting on my toes until I experienced the open toe box of Lems. It has completely resolved the soreness and swelling I was experiencing at the end of a long work day. My gait also improved because I was walking more naturally.

I love the slight scoop/divot around the ankle area, as it allows a little freedom and movement to that part of my leg, which often gets sore with mid to high ankle boots— but I don’t have that problem with the Primal 2 Mids!

I’ve had multiple people compliment them for their looks, too. I ordered two backup pairs in different colors to use for work, yard work, and camping. If I find a product or clothing item I really love, I like to keep a spare just to be safe, and these were so awesome I decided I needed TWO sets of spares. They really do work for almost any situation. Can’t recommend them highly enough!
