ZERO-DROP

FLEXIBLE

Made from our signature IBR outsole, the Primal 3 is an ultra lightweight and flexible option compared to traditional footwear.

Reviews Summary
Customers say these shoes are incredibly comfortable right out of the box with no break-in period required. The wide toe box, lightweight design, and zero-drop profile appeal to those seeking a natural barefoot feel. The cork insole provides cushioning and moisture-wicking benefits. Many reviewers praise the quality construction and durability, with some reporting years of regular wear. The neutral aesthetic works well for casual and gym use. Some note the flexible heel makes them harder to put on, while a few experienced durability issues with the mesh in high-impact activities. Overall, customers appreciate the fit for wide feet and report improved comfort compared to traditional shoes.

    Love the look

    The look of the shoe is great. I got the Primal 3 in eclipse(navy/white). It didn’t take long to get comfortable with the shoe. I have a few barefoot shoes. I thought the cork sole was super soft and the feel of the shoe is great. They aren’t “weird “ looking either

    Supreme comfort

    This is my second pair of Lems. The first was the Primal Zen Suede, which I've worn at work daily, since last September (7+ months). Just like that pair, there was absolutely no break-in period - they are incredibly comfortable the first time you put them on. The cork insole really makes a difference in cushioning to offset the zero drop. Durability is flawless, as the suede has no tears or rips, so I'm assuming the Primal 3's will have similar construction, albeit they are made with synthetic materials. My Lems have essentially replaced my years of being a loyal Vivobarefoot wearer. Highly recommended!

    Very comfortable. Plenty of toe room. Hard to see myself changing away from Lem's.

    Most Comfortable shoes I have ever Owned

    The Sizing fits perfectly, and my feet feel very happy in them. My favorite part is the cork soles, that seem to wick away sweat, and keep my feet dry all day long.
