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!

SOFT SUEDE UPPER

Utilizing a full suede upper with perforations for breathability, this pair provides supreme comfort all day long.

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 offer exceptional comfort with their wide toe box design. Many reviews mention the natural barefoot feel while maintaining enough cushioning for all-day wear. The shoes tend to run small, with most suggesting ordering a half to full size up. While most praise the comfort and fit, some note durability concerns with the sole. Many become repeat purchasers, appreciating the versatile style suitable for both casual and office settings. The cork insoles receive positive feedback for comfort, though some prefer wearing the shoes without them. Reviews consistently highlight the shoes' lightweight construction and initial comfort right out of the box.

    So comfy

    Great for big feet. I’m rocking the US 14, size 47 lems. Been wearing for years, still the king of comfort despite me trying other brands.

    Men’s Primal Zen

    I could go on forever about my shoes from Lem’s. My first experience started with the Switch Back footwear. Then with cooler weather approaching in decided to purchase the Men’s Primal Zen, in the Granite color. The moment I put them on I knew that they were going to be crazy comfortable, and sure enough they are. I absolutely love these shoes. I even talked my wife to purchase a pair for herself, and she did and absolutely loves them. The support staff at Len’s are incredible and super knowledgeable. I look forward to each and every call I make to them . No I don’t work for the company, though I wish I did because I’d have every paid they had in my closet, hahahaha. Which ever pair you decide to buy you won’t be disappointed. I can’t wait until my next purchase. Thanks Lem’s
