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!

ZERO-DROP

Reviews Summary
Customers say these shoes offer exceptional comfort with their roomy toe box and natural feel. Many reviews mention the lightweight design and versatility for daily wear. While most find them perfect for all-day use, some note they run small and recommend ordering a half to full size up. The suede version gets frequent praise for its style and breathability. Common feedback includes appreciation for the snug heel fit while maintaining toe freedom. Reviews are mixed on durability, with most reporting excellent longevity while a few mention concerns about sole wear. Frequent comments address the initial break-in period, after which users report a perfect fit.

    So comfortable

    It’s taken me 3 tries, but finally they fit. This shoe runs much smaller than any other shoe I had. Usually, I wear a 10.5 Wide, but this shoe was worth waiting on the perfect size to work. After several tries, 12.5 finally fit the best.

    My New Favorite Shoe

    Absolutely loving this shoe. I was a bit disappointed with it at first, but then I removed the insole and it feels wonderful. The kind of shoe that make you want break out into a jog while you're walking down the street.

    BTW, people say sizes run small, but I think that's just because of the insoles. Once I removed it, it fit me just like any other shoe of that size.
