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!

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.

    Nothing minimal about this minimalist/barefoot shoe

    The two traits/qualities of the Primal Zen shoe I’m most impressed by are the shoe’s style/appearance and the not-too-thin outsole.

    Even though the Primal Zen is designed with a roomy toe box like most barefoot-type footwear, the Zen is styled in a way that it can be worn with shorts, jeans, or slightly dressed up without drawing attention to your shoes, as many barefoot shoes tend to do because they look a little “off” or odd. If you have or had barefoot shoes you’ll know what I’m referring to.

    I also really appreciate the thickness of the outsole, as it allows my feet enough sensitivity to feel whatever terrain I walk on but isn’t so thin that I feel like I’m wearing long-traveled flip-flops.

    The fit overall is comfortable without feeling sloppy.

    After just a couple months in the Zens I’m looking forward to lots of steps in these quality, stylish, and comfy Lems.

    Great show for wide foot

    I always went a half or whole size up since my feet are very wide. I went with the normal size I order (which is 1/2 larger than I need) and they fit perfectly.
