300 km without pain: from Morton's neuroma to the Camino de Santiago

300 km without pain: from Morton's neuroma to the Camino de Santiago

“Exactly a year ago they fell into my hands—or rather, onto my feet.

But it wasn’t until now, after completing the Northern Route of the Camino de Santiago, that I felt like these boots deserved a standing ovation….

Because, trust me, if you’ve also been dealing with pains like the dreaded Morton’s neuroma, this will interest you.”



And a lot.

That’s what Felix says. Let me tell you his story.

For years, walking more than two kilometers was torture. Every step felt like someone was squeezing his metatarsal with invisible pliers, right behind his toes.

He tried everything: insoles, physical therapy, “orthopedic” shoes that looked like they came from a NASA catalog…

Until one day, almost out of desperation, he stumbled upon the barefoot world. And it changed his life.

But careful—there are nuances.

Pure barefoot is wonderful.

In fact, the ideal for your body is to go barefoot, just as Mother Nature designed us.

But there are also times when you need extra protection.

Especially if your feet are already worn out, like Felix’s were.

Are you really going to take on a 300-kilometer route across northern Spain, with rain, mud, and rocky trails… wearing sandals?

You can, I have a friend who would do it without a problem—but for the rest of us… not so much.

And that’s where Lems’ crown jewel comes in: the Boulder Summit Waterproof.

These boots are not pure barefoot.

And I say that loud and clear.

They have a more robust and thicker sole than other minimalist options.

But they’re zero drop, wide and flexible in the toe area (you can play piano with them), and they won’t let in water, even if you step into a stream.

Over Felix’s 300+ kilometers: not a single issue.

Not a single blister.

Just firm, secure, and—why not—happy steps.

Some boots simply do their job. Others save your journey.

Right.

Camino de Santiago, tired feet and tricky terrain—don’t overthink it:

The Lems Boulder Summit Waterproof are your one-way ticket to comfort.

These boots are like a portable shelter for your feet… you wear it, and let the world come as it may.

And if you’re into the trekking-barefoot vibe, don’t miss this video by Ángel with more options to hike the world pain-free:

It’s not magic. It’s barefoot done right.

Efectiviwonder.

Health starts with your feet.

    Como todo vuestro calzado rezuma calidad por todas partes pero, estos precios!
    En botas de montaña se calcula que una suela suele durar unos 1000km. Siendo así, con estas cada kilómetro saldría a casi un euro

      Buenas,
      Quiero aclararte que en las botas con amortiguación tradicionales suelen estimar esos 1.000 km de vida útil porque la espuma interna pierde progresivamente su capacidad de absorción de impactos.

      En el calzado barefoot, al prescindir de esa espuma, tienes una respuesta más directa al terreno y una suela que mantiene su rendimiento prácticamente intacto durante mucho más tiempo.

      Pasando a las Lems Boulder Summit Waterproof, el perfil de desgaste es aún más favorable porque utilizan una suela de goma completa con tacos de 4 mm de profundidad.

      Datos clave:

      Precio: 240 €

      Durabilidad mínima: 3.000 km (y seguramente me quedo corto)

      Coste por kilómetro:
      Con 3.000 km: 0,08 €/km

      Con 4.000 km: 0,06 €/km

      ¿1 € por km? Un mito urbano. Aquí no hay espuma que se chafe con el tiempo: solo goma durísima que apenas se desgasta. Disfruta tu Lems, dale caña al terreno y ahórrate muchos cafés al mes.
