If you’re already a fan of the Primal 2, then consider the Primal Zen its heir apparent. We took the components you love in the Primal 2 - the wide toe box and the flexible IBR outsole - and built a shoe on a new platform that wraps around your foot like a glove. For a more comfortable feel, we also added 2mm of extra sole for added protection and durability. 

We didn’t call this shoe “Zen” for nothing. In shoes this comfortable, all of your worries will just slip away. This super minimalist, kicking-around-town shoe offers a wider outsole width than the Primal 2, and a touch more cushion while still keeping the weight off, at just 8.2 oz. The Primal Zen's slick construction also includes an attached tongue that won't fall out of position, and slightly stretchy laces to give you the perfect fit across the top of your foot. The cork footbed guarantees your feet will stay cool and comfortable, with or without socks. With so much comfort designed into this shoe, you'll truly feel like you're wearing nothing at all!

VEGAN MATERIALS

Comprised of microfiber and breathable air mesh, we made sure that all materials, down to the laces and glue, are 100% vegan.

ULTRA LIGHTWEIGHT

Our proprietary IBR outsole is what makes Lems incredibly lightweight and flexible - giving your foot the sense of weightlessness.

ZERO-DROP

Places the forefoot and heel flat to the ground correcting posture, aligning your spine, and encouraging mid-foot strike.

WIDE TOE BOX

Unlike traditional footwear that squeeze the toes together, our foot-shaped toe box allows for maximum room giving the toes ultimate freedom to wiggle and spread.

    All shoes should be made like this!

    This is my first pair of wide toe box shoes and I absolutely love them. I've had plantar fasciitis and neuromas in both feet for 20 years...WHERE HAVE THESE BEEN!?!?! I put these on and unbelievably I don't need orthotics and an unreal amount of foot pain faded away ove the course of two weeks of plain old use. Phenomenal. My only critique of Lems would be do better advertising. Maybe I would have found you earlier. Shoes are just as described, flat, comfortable fit. No blisters and no hotshots. Feel real durable and well constructed. I liked it so much I bought a second pair to make sure I always have a pair ready in case you change anything abou them. Great job!

    Size up

    I like the shoes but maybe should've ordered a size up from 10.5 to 11.5

    I'm normally a 10.5 Wide and felt these were a bit tight around the top of my foot despite loosening the laces. I figured they just needed to be broken in a bit but that meant I would be disqualified from warranty. Would like to try these again in a bigger size but the price is hard to swallow again.

    Would recommend to others but consider a size up just in case, or you know, buy two pairs and send back the other? But who has that kind of cash to throw around these days.
