To get the most out of your Lems Waterproof Boulder Boots, the manufacturer recommends that you order a half-size up from your normal US shoe size. If you plan on wearing thicker socks with these boots, then consider ordering one full size larger than your normal US size. For example, if you normally wear a men's US size 11 shoe, consider ordering an 11.5, or possibly a 12 (in the case of the latter consideration), in the Lems Waterproof Boulder Boot.

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 boot, we suggest removing the included (optional) boot liner/insole; this action does not, in any way, affect the performance of the boot. 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.
