Lems Boulder boots normally have a very wide toe box. I’m not sure of the difference between this new model and the original. But their wide models are amazing.How are they for width?? And do you have a standard width? If there is such a thing.

Lems Boulder Summit First Impressions:
They are very tough for me to slide my foot into. I hope that changes overtime as well.

I have the original Boulders in a 10 and they fit great. I picked up the Outlanders in 10, per their sizing guide and they are considerably tighter.I’ve had my originals for 2 years now and they are still pretty stiff getting on. They loosen up after I’ve had them on for a bit but they tighten back up when I go to put them on the next time. If I get these new ones I’m tempted to get a half size bigger to help with that and being able to wear thicker socks.

Given these new Boulders have the Outlanders base/soles, sizing up might not be a bad idea. These new ones seem like they could be a perfect mesh if sized correctly. I really like the fit on the Boulders and hate the tread and vise versa on the Outlanders.
If I remember correctly, Lems did recommend sizing up with regard to the Boulders and waterproof Boulders before this new boot was introduced.
To be honest, I also have had to exchange my share of boots due to me ordering the wrong size and I don't want to steer you wrong.
I have the Altra LP boot and love it for dry conditions, the waterproofing on one boot leaked within the first month of easy use tho. If it’s dry out these are my boot of choice. Heavy few will soak them tho once that waterproofing breaksThis season I am running the Altra Lone Peak All Wthr Low. I actually only got them for my first back country hunt in Wyoming. They performed well, but I also find them coming apart a bit too soon. It was hard use though so maybe I am being unfair. The laces kept coming undone and that was frustrating so I got a set of BOA laces to try. Anyway, I haven't made it to the white tail woods this year but I am planning to bring the Altras. I typically run an even more minimal shoe, so I am curious how the thicker sole of the Altra will help with foot warmth.
If the weather is right, I also want to try these:

I feel like these will be awesome for stalking as I feel like a wood ninja. But haven't hunted in these yet, so we shall see.
To the top.
Any of these things designed to get wet but dry really fast?....like a "jungle boot" I guess is somethings comparable
The waterproof 1s have a membrane like gortex?

How did you rectify your situ with the boot coming apart? Did you go with the BOA in lieu of laces? How did you like em? And what flavor of sock? Sole on them?Quick update: The Altras worked great as a whitetail hunting shoe. I found them great for hiking into spots and then the thicker soles (thicker than I normally run) offered a bit more warmth.
The sock shoes were in fact amazing for stalking. Even if the ground is a little wet these guys were good. I imaginge it is a lot like hunting in mocassins. Anyway, for $20 or so they're definitly worth a try!
The Altras did not continue to deteriorate, so I didn't address it. I did not like the BOAs on these but I changed to a cord lock, like so:How did you rectify your situ with the boot coming apart? Did you go with the BOA in lieu of laces? How did you like em? And what flavor of sock? Sole on them?
I've got a few pairs of Belleville boots, just not this particular model. The footbed doesn't fit my pronation well but that's a me problem, not the boot's fault. All in all a well-made duty boot on par with Bates or Rocky or Altama, which all happen to fit my personal feet better.Any experience with these dudes from anybody?.......... https://www.bellevilleboot.com/index.php?l=product_detail&p=151
Not that model but yes. Very well made boot from my experience. Mine were from a local military surplus storeAny experience with these dudes from anybody?.......... https://www.bellevilleboot.com/index.php?l=product_detail&p=151
