Like a sturdy version of a Primal 2 one of our most popular models

Suede Version is NOT Vegan

It took us nearly a decade of thoughtful design and prototyping to create the Primal Zen.  The Primal Zen offers the same minimalist casual shoe as the Primal 2, that is vegan-friendly and zero-drop, but with some added cushion and a more grounded base. Its newly designed outsole guarantees that ultra-light fit and feel you've come to love in the Primal 2, yet adds a bit more protection and durability with its platform that naturally wraps the shape of the foot. Its upper is built with a combination of breathable air mesh and microfiber, so your feet will truly feel at peace wherever your next journey takes you!

ALL HAIL THE ZEN MASTER

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 comfortable, with or without socks. With so much comfort designed into this shoe, you'll truly feel like you're wearing nothing at all!

      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.

      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.

       ZERO-DROP

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

      Great shoe, fantastic customer service from Footworks

      I have very wide feet in the midfoot and toebox area, so finding shoes that are comfortable is a challenge in itself, nevermind ones that look good too. The Primal Zen tick both boxes, and have basically relegated all my other shoes to the cupboard. I tried on 3 different sizes to get the best fit and Footworks were fantastic supporting the process throughout to make sure I ended up as happy as I could be.

      I will be finding an excuse to buy from this fantastic business again as soon as I can!

      Best transition barefoot shoe

      Briliant shoe, very light, great cushioning, good grip and very wide. I use it as a work shoe in a hospital and it is absolutely great.
      The best part of my experience is definitely the #footworksrunning company, as the customer service is one of the best in UK.
      I already purchased another pair, and my wife too. We will definitely buy the boots too for the winter, to have a complete package.
      Thanks you for bringing Lems in UK 😉.

      Extremely comfortable shoe

      The Primal Zen is one of the most comfortable shoes I have ever worn. Good ground feel feedback but also enough protection that country walks are not uncomfortable. Efficient ordering process and great customer service too.
