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.

    First Experience with Lems

    I typically wear a size 11.5 to a 12 for traditional shoes, and went with a 12 for these. They're light / breathable, very comfortable after a few days of adjustment, and blend in well with other common sneakers.

    I have rather wide feet, and could have potentially gone up half a size for a slightly better fit. After a few days of breaking them in, however, the 12's are still so comfortable that I plan on keeping them. Definitely recommend for an everyday sneaker.

    Awesome shoes that look and feel good. I do however feel like the laces are going to be a problem. They don’t stay tied very well on a single knot…

    Waiting for a bigger size

    I'm waiting for my replacement pair to do a proper fit and feel review. I ordered my size in the Woodland Primal Zen and they were small. I've ordered a size up but I had to get the Cobra because the Woodland was out of stock. More later!
