If you’re already a fan of the Primal 3, then consider the Primal Zen its heir apparent. We took the components you love in the Primal 3 - 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 3, and a touch more cushion while still keeping the weight off, at just 6.8 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!

We recommend ordering your normal US size. Please note, the Primal Zen may run shorter than the Primal 3.

Unsure of your size? We recommend ordering 2+ pairs at a time, as we offer a flat shipping fee of $5.95 & free exchange options for US customers.

This shoe is available in one width - WIDEST Natural-Shape, as highlighted below:

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.

Reviews Summary
Customers say these shoes are extremely comfortable right out of the box with no break-in period needed. They praise the wide toe box that allows toes to spread naturally, making them ideal for people with flat feet, bunions, or plantar fasciitis. Many mention the zero-drop sole provides better balance and reduces back pain. Common feedback includes needing to size up half to a full size for proper fit. Customers appreciate the lightweight feel and describe walking in them as feeling like "walking on air" or "barefoot but more comfortable." Many have purchased multiple pairs and report wearing them daily for everything from 12-hour work shifts to walking and gym activities. While most love the comfort and style, some note the shoes can look wide or "fat" on feet, and a few mention issues with heel rubbing or needing more cushioning for serious walking.

    Love these so much

    I love these shoes so much - they are comfortable and good looking. I have flat feet, a long second toe on one foot and hammer toes on the other foot, and finding comfortable shoes has always been a problem. The wide toe box in these lets my toes spread out, and the zero drop sole is great for my back and hips. And my balance is better so that I’m not afraid of falling. I bought a second pair and in the fall I hope to add a pair of boots and a suede pair of these. I had to go up a full size, but the quick shipping and free, quick and easy returns and replacement made it easy to find my size.

    I ordered half size up

    I usually wear an 8. I exchanged them for an 8 1/2 and they fit perfect. Very comfortable and I am already wearing them a lot! Great quality.
