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!

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.

    Comfortable and durable.

    The zero drop cork soles and wide toe box make these shoes super comfortable plus they look good and hold up to a bit of rough wearing. Would recommend!

    2nd Pair Of Lems - Tied For Favorite

    Seems very similar to the Primal 3. I got the Zen in a lighter color for Summer and they have been awesome.

    These shoes breath really well and stayed cool and comfortable all Summer - unlike other brands that use a lot of memory foam.

    Lems shoes are very well constructed and are very comfortable while standing and walking for several hours.

    Foot Issues Zen

    My feet noticed the difference immediately. My toes had room to spread! The transition wasn't bad, I had a little ankle and lower calf pain for a day. I walk 5 miles every morning on a paved trail with no issues. They are extremely light, the tread grips well, even on wet surfaces and they look great.
