Women's Chelsea Boot Tuff

Super comfortable

As a flower farmer I spend all day on my feet. I've spent years working my way through Blundstones and Red Backs trying to find comfort, durability and something that can get me through an entire day. I always end up with sore knees and hips and boots that wear out far too soon. I've finally turned to Lems and am so far very impressed with the comfort. I've been wearing them all day for the last few weeks and so far am avoiding all the usual aches and pains that come at the end of a long day. Two things to note - size up slightly. The first pair I ordered were too small and I hadn't yet seen all the reviews mentioning this fact. The exchange process was very easy, however. Secondly, the boots are pretty warm. I bought them just as we slid into summer and they're probably more suitable fall through spring. No big deal, I'm going to splurge on another pair of Lems that are more suited to summer.

My new go-to shoe

I love these boots! They fit true to size and are so comfortable. They were a little hard to put on/take off the first few times, but once the ankle loosened a bit, they're quick and easy to slip on. I would recommend wearing crew socks. I wore ankle socks with them once on a 40-minute walk, and the top irritated my skin a bit, but not to the point of blistering.

Light and comfortable

I received these boots almost two weeks ago. The cork foot bed is very cushioning and comfortable right out of the box. I took the advice of a lot of other reviewers and ordered a half size up from my normal 8.5. I was a little worried initially that maybe I should have ordered a 9.5, but after several days of fairly light wear, they started to stretch out. Then I went to work and after a week of hard wear, I now wish I had ordered my normal size. The boots have stretched out a lot - depending on the day and conditions, I use a range of sock thicknesses, so on a cold day with thick socks, the boots fit pretty well. On a warm day however, there is quite a bit of extra room in the boots. A couple of other things: the toe box isn't as wide as I thought it would be and the heel is strangely loose. I’m also not the biggest fan of the mottled tan color. I am keeping up the hope that Lems comes out with a dark brown Tuff like the waterproof version. Otherwise, these are a nice-looking, comfortable work boot. We’ll see how they hold up!
