The Trailhead is our take on a minimalist hiking shoe equipped for any trail, trek or urban travel adventure. With its natural shape toe box, minimal heel drop, and lightweight design, it's sure to keep pushing your boundaries.

Whether you're climbing a 14er, going on a bike and brew tour, or even backpacking around the world, the Trailhead will be sure to take you far away from the ordinary. Designed for the trail but styled for the city streets, this low cut hiking shoe is the answer for your every move.

Stormy Night

We recommend ordering UP 1/2 size from your normal US size. If you have wider feet, we do not suggest this shoe.

Unsure of your size? We recommend ordering 2+ pairs at a time, as we offer a flat shipping fee of $5.95 & free exchange options for US customers.

This shoe is available in one width - MEDIUM Natural-Shape, as highlighted below:

https://cdn.shopify.com/s/files/1/0076/8812/6522/files/FitCharts23-MEDIUM_480X480

RUGGED UPPER

The upper is made of durable materials that stand up to the abuses of trails, and also daily wear and tear.

MOUNTAIN-TO-TOWN OUTSOLE

Engineered with a low profile rubber tread that combines the best of both worlds: ample traction on trails, AND excellent durability on pavement.

LOW HEEL DROP

With 4mm of drop, compared to the traditional 12mm of drop, the Trailhead naturally decreases heel-striking for a more natural gait and healthier posture.

FIRM CUSHIONING

When your foot is on too soft of cushion, you end up with pain and discomfort. We've formulated a firm EVA midsole that'll keep your feet happy all day long.

Reviews Summary
Customers say these shoes are comfortable and versatile, working well for everything from office wear to hiking and daily activities. Many reviews highlight the lightweight, durable construction and attractive retro style. The narrow toe box is frequently mentioned—some appreciate the snug fit, while others find it restrictive. A consistent theme across reviews is that these shoes run small; most customers recommend sizing up by half to a full size. Common feedback notes excellent traction, a break-in period for some, and impressive longevity with regular use. Several reviewers mention wearing multiple pairs over years, praising the quality and all-around functionality.

    Best fit

    The fit is true to size. More important is the heel cup fits me better than most wide shoes. I have a narrow heel and wide middleand toe area. I've always had to compromise to fit one end or the other. Most wide toebox shoes leave my heel wallowing around and not secure. The construction of the heel area in these is quite firm and cradles the foot nicely. I used the secondary lace holes at the top and it instantly fit just right. Very happy feet!

    Best Shoes I have purchased in a LONG time!

    I just received my Men's Trailhead "Stormy Night" in 9.5 and they are absolutely incredible! Best shoe right out of the box I have purchased in a long time. They feel very light and airy, but also I can tell they are built to last. extremely comfortable to walk in and the tread feels great. I can't wait to get out and do a hike in these. I will have to order another pair to use as my daily driver and these for my hiking duties on my way to the crag to rock climb. Way to go, Lems on a great shoe design! Very happy with my purchase!

    Mens Trailhead

    Comfortable right out of the box. My experience was the shoe runs a full size small, so I needed to exchange for one full size larger. They exchanged without any trouble.
