If you're interested in transitioning to barefoot living but have relied on cushioned shoes, Lems provides an excellent entry point to the minimalist lifestyle. You'll experience immediate benefits like a broader toe box and a zero-drop heel, while still enjoying sufficient cushioning as you adapt to a new foot strike pattern. Additionally, Lems offers the flexibility to incorporate orthotics for extra support if needed.
What sets Lems apart is their diverse range of unisex shoes designed for various activities such as exercise, hiking, and work, all while maintaining a stylish appearance. It's worth noting that not all Lems Shoes adhere to a zero-drop or foot-shaped design. The options with the widest sole cater to wide to extra-wide feet, while those with a wide sole are suitable for average to wide feet.

Why Lems Barefoot Shoes Are Different

How Lems Began
Frustrated with the shoe options out there, founder Andrew Rademacher took matters into his own hands. He studied shoemaking, reimagined the way shoes should fit, and after years of prototypes, released the first Lems shoe – the Primal – in 2011. Ever since, Lems has been all about putting your feet first.
Designed for Natural Foot Function
Lems Shoes are built to mirror the true shape of your foot, not force it into something unnatural. No more tapered toe boxes, no more high heel rise – just real support for healthy movement, stronger muscles, and better balance from the ground up.
Move naturally. Feel the difference. That’s the Lems way.
