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. 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!

The Primal Zen has quickly become a go-to favorite in the fitness space. With its flat outsole, wide toe box and low stack height, it keeps you grounded and stable through every rep. Flexible, breathable materials move with you, making it a solid choice for weightlifting, cross-training, and high-intensity workouts.

    Toe box is way wider than my Xero Shoes HFS. There is more support in the mid sole/ankle. Much better for rapid cutting movements while weight training for athletics.

    Best shoes I've purchased in a while.

    I bought these because I like to try less popular brands of shoes. I had previously thought that Xero was my brand of choice, but I have decided that Lems are my favorite now. They were confortable out of the box and I use them for work and working out. I can run in them and lift weights too.

    Cool, but I like the Primal original better

    Great shoe. I am a Lems consumer for life. I have had many original Primal pairs of shoes, however, this is my first Primal Zen. I like them. They are certainly comfortable, but I prefer the original Primal (now the Primal 3) mostly because the Zen toebox feels a little too open and airy. The fabric over the toebox seems like it might breakdown easily, but time will tell. Overall and excellent shoe. I am just a fan of the originals that made Lems stand out from beginning as a leader in minimalist shoes.
