After months of wearing the Lems Trailhead V2, here are my thoughts. While I wouldn't really call them a minimalist shoe, especially compared to their Primal 2 Shoes, they are a stepping stone if you are coming from the world of regular "tennis shoes".
A great read about minimalist footwear and running is Born to Run: amzn.to/39qk1Y4 If you are unfamiliar with the concept, give it a read.

I love Lems. I’m on my second pair of nine2fives. The Primal 2 is a great shoe too. The boulder boots are absolutely awesome and I’ll be getting a pair when funds allow.
Primal 2s are where it is at for me. I do love my Boulder Boots too. :)
i only really want the wide toe box maybe this is what i want
What I really like about your channel is that you will review things that aren't always super gun specific. And do it in a concise easy to understand way. I feel like the industry is really lagging behind when it comes to small but important pieces of kit or accessories that really makes life easier. Going to the range with really cool guns is great but what about the rest? What about the clothing to keep you warm, etc while you run drills? It's often overlooked.
For instance I finally broke down and bought a Maglula for loading double stack pistol mags. Easily the best money I've spent in a very long time for gun stuff.
It is in the details... :)
Get a shoe horn
lol that tracksuit was great
It made for a fun time. :)
Happy to see a new vid that isn’t talking about the virus.
Have you tried Salewa shoes yet? I’m trying to find a good review on those. Whatcha think?
How is the grip and durability of Trailhead soles?
Good. Better than the Primal 2s.
You got me thinking Ivan, what would be the design of an ultimate tactical lifestyle shoe? I'm thinking, a hardened instep for rope work, high stick soles, a balance of support and minimal weight...
That would be a fun project...

Hey, I just purchased these shoes but I’m seeing dozens of comments claiming that they’re lacking in durability & was wondering how they held up for you
How have yours been in the 8 months you've had them now?
@@JacksonAlvey Hey, I still have them. I’ve used them a handful of times mainly to do stuff around the city & I don’t have any issues with them. They still look good as new. I haven’t used them for hiking just because I prefer boots or something more rugged. But as a casual everyday shoe, they seem pretty solid.
@@guillermorodriguez2230 Awesome! You da man! Thanks for taking the time to respond. Good to hear they've held up ok at least under more casual use. I figure they'd be 95% for casual use/in town walking for me too. I've got some good Topo trail runners for hiking/backpacking. Cheers!
@@JacksonAlvey I love everything by Topo but they are so pricey. I didn't know they had trail runners. Will look into them.
EDIT: Just realized you meant Topo Athletic & not Topo Designs. Those are still awesome though. Glad I could help.
I'll check'em out, thanks!
Thanks for the heads up. Try some Altras if ya haven’t. 0 mm heel drop. Super comfy.
I've heard good stuff about some of their shoes, I've just never tried them.
Would the Altama OTB be considered a minimalist shoe?
Not sure, haven’t used those.
Would you suggest the Trailhead V2 for working out ? i.e. crossfit
You can, and I have, buy I'd rather wear the Primal 2. Less cushion and a wider toe box.
Still wearing the v1s. Definitely not a slip-on Don/Doffer. I’m barefoot as often as possible but still wear boots 🥾 depending on activity.
The new Outlander seems like a mid/high top of the v2.
Running is something I do to not only stay in shape but to clear my mind too. Or to go through things in my head.
There is something to be said for that. :)
My running bud has his 1st pair now and love's them. I wish they made the boulder boot in black for me to use @ work. Take care bud..
They do, I have a all leather pair of Boulder Boots in black. I like them so far.
@@KitBadger Yes they do. Just got a pair for work. Thx Bud..
New intro logo?? This is what I like to see
It was a just a test video I did with some friends. :)
I think it looks sharp.
Great looks shoes and boots. Where are they made.
They are made in China. Hopefully not Wuhan...
Thanks for review, I've been looking at these and the primal. Good to know that these aren't really minimalist.
I have a super-wide right foot... 4E width at least! The left foot, well, it's less wide. Needless to say, I'm not symmetrical. HA!!
Nice clip. Which of the two colors do you prefer🤔
Are you still a tgames competitor?
I've yet to try Lems. I've had FiveFingers for about 10 years now, one pair is still going strong after 8 years, and I'm on Tevo's atm. The Tevo's are good but a little too soft in the sole. Like the look of the boulder boots!
Just watch out! They are not very puncture resistant. Took them to Patagonia and found thorns in my feet multiple times
Are you talking about the Boulder Boots or Primal 2s Ben? I think the Trailhead would stop punctures. The other two, not so much. But I do like those first 2 better.
@@KitBadger I try for minimalist as much as possible but can't afford winter minimalist 😁. I'd like to try Kuuva's. They look pretty damn good.
My normal winter boot is an old squaddie favourite; Altberg's. UK company who have a factory in Yorkshire.
@@KitBadger Boulder boot, I love them but that sole consumed so many pieces of pine and thorns that I had to put my green superfeet liners in to try to mitigate it. The boots are comfy though, I would recommend for daily use but avoid using as a backcountry primary
I might have to try the Primals, Lems has the best toe box outside of Altra running shoes IMO.
I didn't get the V1 Primal because they narrowed the toe box and that was their winning characteristic.
Easily the best review out there on the Trailhead. Thanks much!
how do they handle rain/water?
Quality content as usual. Thank you.
Thanks for the kind words Evan.
what state is that?
Idaho.
Cool new intro!
Thanks, I don't know that I'll keep it, but it was something a friend was playing around with for me. :)
hello , what size should i get ? true to size ?
True to size in my experience.
I’ve worn Vivo Barefoot, Xero and Lems Primal 2 and Lems 9to5 shoes almost daily for a few years now. I love minimalist footwear. Lems is my favorite, but the Trailhead 1 was a dud.
I tried their Trailhead 1 shoe since I think the Primal 2 is a bit too thin for long hikes over rough terrain with a pack on, but they were way too thick and confining.
The Trailhead 2 looks to be a bit of an improvement, but not quite there yet...regardless I’ll have to take a second look at these.
Primal 2 is still my favorite.
@@KitBadger a beefier primal 2 would be nice
ALTRA TIMPS...
I haven’t tried those yet.
@@KitBadger more of a trail running shoe used by backpacking folks...probably apples & oranges compared to these now that I think of it...but they're durable and have a WIDE toebox!
Primal 2 are perfect for me. Boulders failed for me in all kinds of fit ways. Any shoes out there that fit and flex like the Primals but might be a bit more rugged, anyone? Thank for the review Kit!
Great video. Thank you
