Description

The Lems Trailhead V2 is available in styles for men and women and comes in several different colors.

Lems Trailhead V2 Features:

  • Sustainably made with one-of-a-kind, durable construction. 
  • Shoe upper is made with microfiber and air mesh, and the outsole is made with full-length rubber.
  • Outsole is made with a low-profile rubber tread that gives good traction on the trail and long-term durability on the road.
  • Midsole is constructed of ethylene vinyl acetate (EVA) and aids in weight distribution and stability.
  • Shoe lugs are strong and have a fashionable “gum” appearance.
  • Shoe heel offers a speckled look that complements the rough and multi-toned fabric.
  • Rubber outsole has solid traction and is thick enough to endure climbing over boulders and other difficult surfaces.
  • 4mm heel-to-toe drop makes these shoes nice and level to the ground and good for walking.
  • Natural-shaped toe box to give extra space for toes to wiggle and assume their natural barefoot position.
  • Can be worn with toe spacers.

Size

Unlike their other shoe styles, which are unisex and have a large, 2E width toe box, the Trailhead offers separate sizing for men and women. The Trailheads for men are a regular D width, while the Trailheads for women are a standard B width. 

While most customers find that the Trailhead fits true to size, others may need to go up a half size to accommodate the breadth of their foot. Lems suggests stepping up a half size if you have a bigger foot or desire a more roomy fit.

The women’s shoes are much narrower than the men’s. For this reason, as a woman who has bunions and wears a size 9, I ordered the men’s shoe in a size 8 because I want lots of room around my toes. Lems makes the Trailhead V2 for both men and women. However, the sizing of each are different, especially in terms of foot width.
