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.

Zen
Super comfortable and well made. A 1/3-1 size bigger fits better than expected.

Fitting discrepancies
These are my second pair of Lems, my first were the Breck Boots which I ordered in size 12 (my usual foot size) and found them to be far too big, more like a 12.5 if not a 13. I wanted to try an everyday walking shoe so I decided to get the Primal Zens and figured I would order a 11.5 to have better fitting. Sad to find that these were too snug.
I understand different models can have different sizing fitments but the range was a bit odd for me.
Due to being a Canadian and the fact that shipment costs for exchanges are endured by the customer I’m not really seeing the justification to send them in for a replacement. Won’t likely buy another pair unfortunately unless perhaps exchange/return costs are revisited by Lems one day I suppose.

WOW what a show
I have been a barefoot show wearer for 5+ years now but recently moved to a city and needed something with a tad more cushion. Still wide toe box and midsole, still zero drop (I think), and gives me the exact amount of cushion for walking on cement all the time. (good note: I have a really wide midfoot and they fit)
AND THEY ACTUALLY LOOK LIKE REAL SHOES!!!!

Not like earlier iterations
Bought a pair of these 2 years ago and loved them - full suede toe bed, the current version with nylon fill is not nearly as nice. Still nice design and toe box, but Miss the earlier materials.

Great product
I like the product. I stand a lot and would get lower back pain and now the back pain has gone away. My feet are getting used to the shoes because I used to have thick padding. I am going to buy some trail shoes next.
