Men's Breck Boot Waterproof

Wide foot needed these.

My feet are only exceptionally wide at the toe box. I recently increased the amount of grass I cut my many magnitudes. I was blistering, cramping and essentially hobbled by the unaccommodating footwear I was using. Much happier now and I'm gonna go ahead and buy another pair.

I wish these weren't being discontinued

I've worn these everywhere from camping in sand dunes to snowboarding in Nagano... These are the perfect adventure boots for me. The zip closure is a life changer on a high-top. I'll never go back to lace-only boots. The wide toe box actually fits my feet; unlike most other boots I've ever worn. I also really like the style, especially the Neptune version. They might not be everyone's cup of tea, especially if you only ever wear brown or black shoes... But I definitely prefer a bit more color. There's no gusset on the zipper, but I find that to be more of a pro than a con. This lets you unzip the side of the boot and get a ton of mobility and airflow when you don't need your ankles to be locked in. This lets them act as burly hiking boots in rough terrain and comfy slip-ons when you're just trying to get through a long-haul flight. I've had zero issue with moisture ingress through the zipper in DEEP snow or walking through deep puddles, but I can imagine they'll let moisture in when crossing fast flowing water... that said, most fast flowing river crossings I ever deal with are deeper than 8 inches anyway, so ymmv. I am glad they're at least keeping the insulated version of the Breck, but I would still prefer they kept the non-insulated version around. An uninsulated boot lets you regulate temperature yourself with different socks, the Thinsulate version gets relegated to colder weather only. I find this version of the boot to be far more flexible. I can't speak too much for durability as I've only had mine for 8 months, but so far, they still look new. All in all, with sadness, I plan on picking up a couple spare pairs of these non-insulated Brecks. Here's hoping they last a long time.

I usually wear Lems women’s size 9, however I wanted a wider toe box than the women’s version of this boot. I am loving the feel and the look of this boot and can’t wait to add more Lems shoes to my closet
