You might be asking yourself, “What does this minimalist boot have to do with adventure motorcycling?” The fact is, ADVMoto will review anything we think you would enjoy. I first placed an order for the Lems Boulder Boots not knowing I’d be writing a review for them, but I’ve grown to love them so much that I felt inclined to share my thoughts.
While many dual-sport enthusiasts wear semi-comfortable “adventure-style” moto boots, I’d guess that half, if not most, of us wear motocross footwear for optimum protection. After a long, hot day’s ride I want nothing more than to get out of my sweaty, constricting riding boots, and I’m sure you know the feeling.
So, what do you wear when you’ve reached your destination or campsite? Sneakers? Flip flops? Go barefoot? Here’s a better option: Lems Boulder Boots are perfect to slip into when you’re off the bike, whether you’re at camp or commuting to work. You can spend all day hiking in them, and the ankle coverage will protect you while trotting through poison ivy.

CHASING PEAKS IN THE HIMALAYAS
It was 2:00 a.m. on my fourth day in India. My eyes blinked open in the dark of a hotel room in Drass, a town in the Himalayas on the Indian side of the border. Yesterday was our first day riding on a six-day trip through the Himalayas, and my brain could not process everything I'd seen and experienced.

MAKING MEMORIES
Kevin and I initially met in the Marines. We have been riding together for a few years, and riding BDRs the entire time. Our first attempt at a BDR was in Utah, where we were completely unprepared and significantly ignorant of our capabilities. It led to some interesting moments conquering Lockhart Basin where we developed our backcountry motto: “Less Gear and More Water.” We document our rides on our YouTube channel, “Be Gone for Good.”
