Boulder-based Lems Shoes announced the lineup for its 2026 Spring Collection, bringing to light the latest in its “shoes shaped by the foot, not trends.” The Spring 2026 Collection keeps that promise with lightweight, flexible styles that move naturally and feel as good as they look, said the company.
“Spring is a time for movement, fresh perspectives, and getting outside,” said Andrew Rademacher, Founder and CEO at Lems Shoes. “With this collection, we focused on styles that feel natural on the foot and effortless to wear. For the last 15 years, our goal has been the same: let your feet do what they were meant to do, which is move freely. This new collection does just that and emphasizes that simplicity really does feel better.”

The 2026 Spring Collection includes:
Trail Blazer – New Colors ($145): The Trail Blazer returns with three fresh colorways this season: Knightfall, Spearmint, and Rose (women’s only).

Built with a wide toe box, a rugged full rubber outsole, and a zero drop design, the Trail Blazer is a versatile shoe for hikes, hikes‑to‑runs, and everything in between.
Mesa Verde ($135): The return of the Lems Mesa…the upgraded Mesa Verde seamlessly blends athleisure style with everyday functionality. Based on customer feedback, it now features a zero-drop platform that encourages a balanced stride and a wider toe box that allows for the toes to splay naturally with every step. The breathable engineered mesh upper provides lightweight support and ventilation, keeping feet comfortable from morning workouts to afternoon errands. A full rubber sole brings durability and grip for light trails and quick transitions. Designed for the gym, travel, or a walk in the park, the Mesa Verde merges performance-focused details with a sleek, versatile look.
Primal Zen – New Colors ($130): The beloved Primal Zen collection debuts with an expanded palette of fresh spring colors: Mint, Nugget, and Cobra. The Primal Zen is a minimalist, vegan-friendly shoe designed to move naturally with your foot. Its unique outsole keeps it ultra-light while providing a bit of extra protection through a platform that follows the foot’s natural shape. With a relaxed silhouette and everyday versatility, it’s perfect for the gym, travel, or wearing around town.
Switchback Sandal Knit ($125): A refreshed take on a fan‑favorite sandal, the Switchback Sandal Knit blends breathable knit comfort with a streamlined, adjustable design. Designed to move with your foot and stay secure on varied terrain, it’s built for warm‑weather walks, river days, and everyday routes alike. The new Prism color adds a stylish twist with swappable straps, letting you mix, match, and customize your look.
Men’s Malibu – New Color ($105): A beloved casual style with a roomy toe box and an ultra-flexible feel, the Men’s Malibu adds the new neutral color Taupe to its lineup. This canvas slip-on is a go‑to choice for effortless comfort in daily life, from errands to coffee runs to porch hangs.
