If you’re already a fan of the Primal 3, then consider the Primal Zen its heir apparent. We took the components you love in the Primal 3 - 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 3, 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!

We recommend ordering your normal US size. Please note, the Primal Zen may run shorter than the Primal 3.

Unsure of your size? We recommend ordering 2+ pairs at a time, as we offer a flat shipping fee of $5.95 & free exchange options for US customers.

This shoe is available in one width - WIDEST Natural-Shape, as highlighted below:

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 are extremely comfortable right out of the box with no break-in period needed. They praise the wide toe box that allows toes to spread naturally and provides relief for bunions and foot issues. Many find them lightweight and flexible, perfect for walking, working out, and all-day wear. Users appreciate the supportive yet barefoot feel, with several noting improved balance and reduced foot pain. Common feedback mentions sizing up a half to full size for the best fit. Some note minimal cushioning and a few experience sweating with the cork insoles, though many find them durable and well-made for daily use.

    Perfect right out of the box! Rolled the dice when i received them right before I left to airport and slid them on for a a 10 day trip across the continent. Fit perfect, comfortable, and lots of room in the toe area. Defintiely not my last pair! You better believe my family all want their own pair now.

    Very comfortable. I found the shoe to be short.

    I usually wear a size 7 but needed to return for a 7.5.

    Otherwise very comfortable

    Love the shoes

    I absolutely love these shoes. My sister in law recommended them and I could not be happier. The only thing I will do is size up a 1/2 size, I wear a 8 1/2 next time I will order a 9.

    I love these shoes. Comfortable from the start and light weight. The color combination is different. I ordered a size up to be able to wear socks. Would definitely recommend these shoes.
