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 6.8 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.

    Love the way my feet feel!

    Straight out of the box, these shoes did not require breaking in. They are marvelous, light, minimal, and cloud like. I walked a parade in them within a few days of getting them and my feet felt great the whole day. Also worked a couple of outdoor events the following weekend and they held up beautifully. No flat toe feeling ever! Comfy and ample toe box that’s also well ventilated/breathable so no hot feet. Honestly, my new go-to. Would absolutely recommend!

    Never thought I'd be able to buy shoes online.

    My whole life, I have had to try on shoes. Usually every shoe in every size in the women's department, then give up and start trying on the men's shoes. And then, usually leave the store empty-handed, or end up buying something that doesn't really fit. I don't wear dresses or skirts because I can't wear the shoes that go with them.

    I hate shopping for shoes more than I hate going to the dentist or eating lima beans.

    But along came Lems. I tried on two pairs, different sizes and types. One pair fit perfectly (like walking on clouds, etc), the other I sent back and traded for a second pair of the one that fit. Excellent customer service, speedy turnaround.

    Lems will be my shoes from now on.

    Cute shoes but there isn’t enough height in them for my feet, even with the cork insole taken out. I ordered my correct size based on the size chart but they were still too narrow, and these are supposedly their widest fit. I really didn’t notice how ill fitting these were on my feet until I took them for a walk outside so of course now I can’t return them. After just one 3mi/1hr walk around my neighborhood (walking on sidewalk) the bottom of the shoe was already wearing down and almost fraying at some spots by the ball of my foot. Not the best quality for $130 shoes. Super bummed they aren’t what I was hoping for. It was a gamble for me getting these since I really needed to walk in them to test them out and the return policy is clear.
