I received a pair of the Black Boulder Boots for Christmas and have been wearing them whenever I am out, but not at work. I really like these boots. Very roomy and comfortable and they look nice as well. They are the first pair of minimalist footwear that my wife complimented on their looks. They look better in person then on the website, in my opinion. It’s too soon to determine the durability, but they seem well made and show no signs of excessive wear so far.
Pros: Very Light weight, very roomy toe box. Look nice. Nice and secure on the foot, they don’t move around or rub. The removable insole is a nice touch for personal preferences.
Cons: the only issue I have it the opening seems narrow and I have some difficulty getting the shoes on with socks, especially warm thick socks. It might be because the size 43 covers both 9 and 9.5 in US sizing. I really have to take the laces down and loosen the rest to get them on. They might benefit from speed laces toward the top. Not really a big deal though.
Overall I definitely recommend them. I’ll be taking a good look at Lems, next time I need another pair of boots or shoes. (I really wish they made an all leather boot).
