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!

SOFT SUEDE UPPER

Utilizing a full suede upper with perforations for breathability, this pair provides supreme comfort all day long.

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.

    Very cute, but needing to be broken in a bit

    Super cute coloring and the toe box is nice and wide, very comfortable there. But I got blisters on my heels the first time I wore these, even though the sizing is correct and they don't feel too tight. So, they need a bit of breaking in but I'm hoping that they then feel comfy enough for every day wear!

    Primal Zen

    Love these shoes! Super comfy toe box. I do wish I would have gone up a half size though. They are a bit snug.

    Womens Primal Zen Suede Graphite

    This is my first barefoot shoe. I have problem feet with arthritis, high arches, tender big toes if there’s any side pressure, and moderate hammer toes. I have usually worn Brooks runners with ABEO inserts, i.e. lots of support. However, I don’t feel as stable with so much thickness under my feet and I wanted to work on strengthing my foot muscles, so was looking for a barefoot shoe with a bit of cushion. These are good. I love the toe room! I wear them around the house and for errands, but for exercise walks on concrete or long sessions standing in the kitchen I need my Brooks, at least for now, or my arches get sore, so not quite 5 stars. Maybe that will change as my feet get stronger. They do run short. I normally take a 9 or 9.5 wide. My Brooks are 9.5W. I had to go up to a 10 in these and they just fit. My toe is very close to the end and touches some, but nothing hurts. I might have been able to wear 10.5.
