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.

Reviews Summary

Customers say these shoes offer exceptional comfort and a spacious toe box that feels natural. The lightweight design and zero-drop sole appeal to those seeking minimalist footwear. Many reviews highlight the quality construction and durability, with repeat purchasers praising long-term wear. However, sizing runs small—most recommend going up a half to full size. Some note the fit feels snug around the midfoot and sides, though removing the insole provides relief. A few mention concerns about sole durability with heavy use and stiffness compared to other minimalist shoes. Overall, users appreciate the comfortable, flexible design for everyday wear and various activities.

The plush side of natural foot movement
The Zen is a well-made shoe and surprisingly lightweight given its profile. The sole flexes well at the toes, and the upper hugs the heel and midfoot while leaving the forefoot with plenty space. I have a wide, high volume, mountain shaped foot with low arches, and I find this shoe accommodates me well.
I bought these for urban rucking and recovery days around town. I spend most of my time barefoot or in much more minimalist shoes than these, so they were a bit of a shock at first. The stack height felt high and the insole felt very plush. But that was the point, I wanted something to ease the impact of heavy ruck sessions. And they are great at it!
I would recommend these to anyone looking to fill a similar role, or for people transitioning from conventional high-drop, squished-toe shoes. Side note, I would love to see what Lem’s could cook up to compete against shoes like the Primus Lite or the Prio.

it's an excellent shoe.
the only problem is - laces. i hate laceys. but for a laced up shoe - it is amazing. as i walked around in them i was wondering, "do they have a loafer like this?!" I looked and "no way!!" I finally got my Drifters and you have no clue how happy i am! no more hard crappy deck shoes or dress shoes!! I can tell you one thing for sure - never discontinue them! Everyone knows how much i love and hate every shoe i own - until this one! Now it's full time ads telling everyone THIS IS THE SHOE BRAND to get! I was so happy with the loafers that i bought a second pair! (that's 3 pairs in that last 3 or so weeks!). as long as you make this shoe (the loafer!!!), I'm going to buy nothing but it! I might just have to buy 10 pairs in case you cancel it. DO NOT CANCEL IT! it's gold! The ONLY thing i would say is they run a bit small. I wear a size 10, i returned (easy) and got a 10.5 - it was perfect. I am never sure how any shoe company decides on size - they all seem to be different. No big deal at all - you just have to figure out what size you need in their line of shoes. 10.5 is flawless for me!

Love them
These are incredibly comfortable. I initially bought them as weightlifting shoes, but they've become my go-to everyday footwear. I'm planning to purchase another pair.
