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. 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!

The Primal Zen has quickly become a go-to favorite in the fitness space. With its flat outsole, wide toe box and low stack height, it keeps you grounded and stable through every rep. Flexible, breathable materials move with you, making it a solid choice for weightlifting, cross-training, and high-intensity workouts.

    This is my second pair of Lems, I'm hooked

    Love the color for summer time wear. This is my second pair and I love the fit and the style. I have issues with the width of most sneakers due to a bunion. The wider toe area is perfect. They are comfortable and good for walking. I would not do a long hike as tread is not rugged but good for every day use.

    Really comfortable and solid--would recommend!

    I have several pairs of Lems, but all of them were boots until now. I just got rid of a pair of Xero trainers that I'd fully worn through the soles of and replaced them with these. They're super light and comfortable, but still feel supportive. In the Xeros, walking on concrete felt like painful slapping, but these shoes feel like my foot gets to feel the whole ground without also taking all the impact. I only knocked one star off because they come up quite high toward the ankle, so they feel a little less nimble and freeing the way my other more athletic shoes do. But if you're someone who likes that sense of support, you might love the higher rise. They don't chafe or anything, super comfortable tongue and heel support.

    Give your feet a walking hug

    I have never been much for going barefoot, but hate spending a lot on basic shoes. This is my second pair of Lems. My first pair (thanks to my daughter!) were Primal 3. I wore them out (Replaceable liners are a bonus!) on daily double dog walks. I had no idea a shoe could feel so good. So far, other than the sole color, I'm not feeling much difference with the Primal Zen. Both have the back pull tab (Bonus!). My feet are comfy and supported. I tried switching to leather sandals for an event, and my poor feet didn't know what to do! Felt like I was drunk walking...

    Of serious note...I usually wear a size 7. In Lems, an 8.5 is what fits. Pick your battles. Best shoes ever.
