Lems Chillum Suede Bedrock - Premium Comfort Shoes for Men & Women | Perfect for Hiking, Travel & Everyday Wear

A High-Quality, Zero-Drop Casual Shoe

The Lems Chillum in Suede Bedrock is a zero-drop, wide toe box casual shoe that incorporates a high-quality suede upper and a flexible, air-injected rubber sole. The attractive Chillum Suede, which comes with an optional (removable) cork insole, works great for around-town activities, including everything from running errands to spending time out and about with friends. The lightweight nature of this shoe (each Lems Chillum Suede shoe weighs about 8 oz.) and its easy packability make it a favorite among savvy travelers.

Low Overall Stack Height & Wide Toe Box

Built on the same outsole as the Lems Boulder Boot, the Chillum Suede possesses an upper composed of super soft suede with pinhole perforations throughout, which provides breathability, durability, and optimal comfort. The low stack height, wide toe box nature of these foot-healthy shoes means that your feet will be able to function as nature intended; that is, with toes free to lengthen and splay and with the ability to sense (and react to) the ground beneath your feet.

Pairs Nicely With Other Helpful Footgear

The Lems Chillum Suede works great in combination with other helpful natural footgear. The ample space within the Chillum Suede's toe box allows for the use of toe spacers for most sets of feet, particularly if you remove the optional insole that comes with the shoe. Other beneficial footgear that pairs nicely with the Lems Chillum Suede includes ,  or , and thin and textured .

To get the most out of your Lems Chillum Suede shoes, the manufacturer recommends that you order your normal US shoe size. For example, if you normally wear a women's US size 8 shoe, consider ordering an 8 in the Lems Chillum Suede.

If you're on the fence about what size to order, consider ordering both sizes and then simply return the size that doesn't fit as well for a refund. If you have concerns about sizing, feel free to contact us or Lems customer service.

Sizing Tip #1: To create additional roominess within the shoe, we suggest removing the included (optional) shoe liner/insole; this action does not, in any way, affect the performance of the shoe. Optionally, and to enhance balance, posture, agility, and general foot/body awareness, you might consider adding thin, flexible Naboso insoles instead.

Sizing Tip #2: Correct Toes toe spacers will often add width and length to the foot. If you’re planning to wear Correct Toes with your footwear, we recommend sizing up, especially if you are on the border between sizes.
