For customers that find the Trailhead and Mesa too narrow, the Primal Pursuit may be just what you need, and probably the highest anticipated style to hit the Lems lineup to date! The Primal Pursuit features the same fit and feel as the Primal 2, but with a bit more oomph, like the Trailhead/Mesa.

The new Trail Traction Outsole provides more grip on the trail, with a slightly higher stack height, providing a bit more cushion for more sensitive feet, yet they won’t weigh you down. 

Think of the Primal Pursuit as a hybrid of the Primal 2 and the Trailhead/Mesa. We incorporated all of the features you have grown to love about these shoe models into one new and improved style!

The Primal Pursuit combines the fit and feel of the Primal 2 with its zero-drop and wide toe box, with the functionality and durability of the Trailhead/Mesa for more rugged Pursuits - see what we did there? ;)

The lightweight materials include an air mesh upper that allows for maximum air flow to wick away moisture and keep you presentable for a post-run brewski. The Primal Pursuit features the same zero-drop heel and wide toe box as the Primal 2 that allows the toes to behave like they are meant to - free and splayed.

You’ll never have to load your weekend getaway pack with multiple pairs of shoes for all of your adventures and social activities, the Primal Pursuit has got you covered for all of it!

Lightweight, breathable air mesh covers the upper where the foot flexes, allowing for maximum comfort and mobility.

ZERO-DROP

Places the forefoot and heel flat to the ground correcting posture, aligning your spine, and encouraging mid-foot strike.

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.

    Good not perfect

    Had a pair now for 9 months. Wanted a durable, do most things reasonably well shoe. Cycle touring flat pedals, hiking, canoeing, travel, short trails runs. They're almost there.

    Good fit and secure with good toe spread but a little too snug for hot weather expansion. That's probably due to my weird feet. Negatives. The mesh let's sand in. The laces come undone constantly. The heal counter wore pretty quickly and they suck up water and take ages to dry so not good as a thru trail or canoe shoe. I have a black pair and they just look mucky all the time so not great as a travel shoe. If Lems can just tweak those issues they'd be perfect as a do most things reasonably well shoe. Apart dome the heal wear they seem very durable and the grip is great on loamy Welsh soils and stony Spanish caminos.

    Great, too bad discontinued

    Love the fit and feel if this shoe, wanted a lite hiker and this checks all the blocks. Sturdy sole with fairly agressive tread, spent a weekend camping in them without issue. Tood bad this model is discontinued otherwise I'd get another pair.

    Spartan worthy for me!

    I like these for my Spartan races. Shame they are being discontinued! They only last 3 races and training though :-)
