Awesome shoes that look and feel good. I do however feel like the laces are going to be a problem. They don’t stay tied very well on a single knot…

Description
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. Features • Fit: Lems WIDEST Natural-Shape™ • Stack Height: 11.0mm • Drop: Zero-Drop • Tongue: Gusseted • Vegan: Yes Primal Zen Sizing We find that the Primal Zen fits true to size, so you can order your normal US size. This is a unisex shoe, so the width is the same for both men's and women's. As with all Lems shoes, if you need more volume inside the shoe or increased ground contact, you can remove the insole. If you have any questions, feel free to contact our customer service team at [email protected].

I'm waiting for my replacement pair to do a proper fit and feel review. I ordered my size in the Woodland Primal Zen and they were small. I've ordered a size up but I had to get the Cobra because the Woodland was out of stock. More later!
Timothy M. M. · Oct 2026I currently have four different Lems models: three are size 11 but the Primal Zen's are 12 in order to fit the top of my foot which does not like too much pressure. They feel a bit long but size 11 and 11.5 did not work.
