For customers that find the Trailhead and Mesa too narrow, the Primal Pursuit may be just what you need, and probably the highest anticipated style to hit the Lems lineup to date! The Primal Pursuit features the same fit and feel as the Primal 2, but with a bit more oomph, like the Trailhead/Mesa.

The new Trail Traction Outsole provides more grip on the trail, with a slightly higher stack height, providing a bit more cushion for more sensitive feet, yet they won’t weigh you down. 

Think of the Primal Pursuit as a hybrid of the Primal 2 and the Trailhead/Mesa. We incorporated all of the features you have grown to love about these shoe models into one new and improved style!

The Primal Pursuit combines the fit and feel of the Primal 2 with its zero-drop and wide toe box, with the functionality and durability of the Trailhead/Mesa for more rugged Pursuits - see what we did there? ;)

The lightweight materials include an air mesh upper that allows for maximum air flow to wick away moisture and keep you presentable for a post-run brewski. The Primal Pursuit features the same zero-drop heel and wide toe box as the Primal 2 that allows the toes to behave like they are meant to - free and splayed.

You’ll never have to load your weekend getaway pack with multiple pairs of shoes for all of your adventures and social activities, the Primal Pursuit has got you covered for all of it!

This full-rubber, rugged outsole is designed with recessed grooves and singular lugs, giving you the traction you need for any sticky situation!

Lightweight, breathable air mesh covers the upper where the foot flexes, allowing for maximum comfort and mobility.

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 offer exceptional comfort with their wide toe box and zero-drop design. Many reviews mention versatility, with users wearing them for hiking, work, and casual outings. The shoes run slightly small, with frequent suggestions to size up. While most praise the durable construction and good traction, some note the toe box could be wider and the mesh lets in water. Common feedback includes appreciation for the balanced cushioning that works well on both trails and pavement. Reviews highlight quick-drying capabilities and breathability, though some mention this makes them less suitable for cold weather.

    Best work shoe ever

    I just went to reorder these and realized after checking my history that I have worn these to work for a year and 3 months! No wonder my feet were starting to get tired. I work in an Automotive shop. In the office and out in the work bays. Before I found these I used Altras to work in over the last 11 years and they never lasted very long. These are the best minimalist work shoes EVER! Please bring them back in black. As a side note all of my shoes are LEMS. I have been buying them for a very long time
