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!
Fit & Sizing :
The Primal Zen fits TRUE TO SIZE, and you can order your normal US size! The Primal Zen has a wide toe box and a removable insole, so for those some who prefer extra depth or better ground feel may consider removing the insole.
Features & Technology:
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.

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.
