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.

Reviews Summary
Customers say these shoes feature an exceptionally wide toe box that provides comfort and freedom for their toes. They appreciate the lightweight, flexible design that feels like wearing slippers or walking barefoot. Many mention the zero-drop sole and minimal cushioning, though some wish for more padding. Users consistently praise the breathable materials and comfortable fit, with several noting they can wear them all day without discomfort. Common feedback includes sizing running small, with many recommending ordering a half size up. While most find them durable and well-made, a few report quality issues after extended wear. The shoes work well for various activities from office wear to light hiking.

    My favorite shoes

    I now own 2 pair of these. One for yard work and one for casual wear. They are super comfortable and have really helped my feet feel better since I started wearing them. The metatarsalgia has improved a lot. Great shoes and a great value!

    Love these

    Switched from Altras to Lems several months ago. These are my everyday shoes, including working as a nurse in a hospital. Love how wide they are and how well my feet can move in them.

    Great shoes

    Nice looking pair of shoes that are comfortable even without the insoles in place.
