Easy, smooth and quick
Easy ordering and excellent communication from Colin. I got two sizes to choose best fit, the return of one was easy and I was refunded quickly. I recommend Footworks and I will buy from them again. I am very happy with my new and very comfortable Lems Boulder Boot Grip.

6 months on.
6 months on I'm still dead happy with my purchase. Met the folks themselves (and their dogs!). Lovely customers service and stopped for a general chat.
The boots I got are well made and fairly waterproof. Have treated them as any other leather and coated well with dubbin. 150+ miles later over all sorts of ground and the soles are as good as new, no signs of separation and barely any wear.
They lack the flexibility of other barefoots and the toebox is seriously big, but I still find them super comfortable, if a little difficult to make snug.

Highly recommended
I have used Footworks many times over the years and never been disappointed. I sent a message asking for a quick dispatch and the shoes arrived the next day. First choice for buying barefoot shoes. The only thing I would like to see improved is a bigger choice of brands, apart from that they're spot on.

How dare you ask for measurements!
Bought Outlanders but they weretoo narrow so I asked for insole measurements of other boots and somehow ended up feeling like I’d requested the secret ingredient in Irn Bru. Shame really — lovely shoes, just not much sole in the service. Got more help from strangers on FB. Sadly gave up after being made to feel stupid for asking. Not got the staff apparently. Returned everything & will spend my £ in a more accommodating barefoot shop! Lems should feel ashamed.
