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!

SOFT SUEDE UPPER

Utilizing a full suede upper with perforations for breathability, this pair provides supreme comfort all day long.

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.

    The best!

    As I have said before, the Primal Zen shoes are the most comfortable shoes I've ever worn and these are just another good option of a great shoe.

    Great shoe in a sleek material

    This is my 2nd pair of Primal Zens—1st in suede. I love the shoe, and I love even more that half sizes are now offered. I don’t really own suede anything, so it has been an adjustment to see how they respond to the elements. Unfortunately, even a little bit of dew/moisture seems to be staining to some degree, which is admittedly annoying, but I suppose that’s just what I get for deciding to get suede shoes. The next pair I’m eyeing are the leather Primal Zens. I feel they may fare better around dawn or dusk when the grass starts to get wet. Overall, though, a great, breathable and comfortable shoe with plenty room for your toes to wiggle around. I take out the insoles and wear them without the moment I get them and I love the “ground feel” I get with all my Lems. Hard pressed to ever look elsewhere for shoes when I love Lems as much as I do!

    Great fit

    I previously had a pair of the synthetic version which are a great shoe, but I always thought that it should be in leather... and there it is... can't really suggest any more improvements.
