SIZING & FIT GUIDE

Our Fit recommendation for this shoe based on customer feedback: Fit is small. Most people order 1/2 size or 1 size larger than their normal US Size.

If you don't know your normal US size, or would like to double check sizing for this model, please use the sizing tools we have provided here like this:

1. Print out our Printable Size Guide for this model and stand on it - making sure your printer is set to 100% Scale. Choose the size where your longest toe finishes. If you are on the line, consider if you will be wearing thick socks, or prefer to have less or more space in your shoes and choose accordingly.

2. Use our Strutfit online sizing app to check your feet measurement and it will tell you what size to order - Click on "WHAT IS MY SIZE?" above. You will need an a4 sheet of paper and a smartphone for this. Once you have done this once, it will also tell you what size you need for all the other shoes on our website as you browse through other models.

3. Use the sizing chart provided which shows the insole length and width of the shoe which you can use to compare the measurements against another pair of shoes that fit you well. Or you can compare them with a sizing chart from another brand and work out your size that way. This is not a fool-safe way though, as the volume and material in the upper of the shoe can also make a big difference to the fit so best to use this in conjunction with one of the other sizing methods.

We don't recommend manually measuring your feet to work out sizing, as in our experience most people measure incorrectly without the use of a proper tool such as a brannock device.

I really like these shoes. They are comfortable. They look good. I can stretch my toes wide and my feet get that good muscular soreness after a big walk, so i know my feet are getting utilised and exercised. Size wise, i used the print out size guide, I was at the upper limit of US12, and turns out they were a touch small. Swapped for the 12.5 which are perfect. My advice, go 5mm longer than your longest big toe on the size guide, rather than the first line you come to. I bought them to wear to work as a doctor in Emergency, they suit my green scrubs well. I love the freedom i get in these shoes, and they have a little more padding than some barefoot shoes, which is bang on. Happy!

JOSIAH C.

Great shoe for around town. Feels like a better version of vans. Not the most breathable so can get hot. With all this in mind I love the shoe.

Got 11.5 and normally and 11 US
Unsure if 11 US would have been better as they’re a bit spacious but could just be not used to the space in the toes.

Andi V.

These are my favorite Lems shoes and barefoot shoes in general. They're extremely comfortable, light, flexible, and stylish. They are great for skateboarding and much better than Vans. They are my go-to shoes.

H
Hannah E.

So comfortable… I’ve worn these for everything. Work (as a nurse), running, and as my normal daily casual shoe. Get compliments on them all the time. Love the colour, so practical, yet also a bit different, yet goes with everything. I’m travelling Australia for six months starting in July, and these are the only closed shoes I’m taking, so they’ll be my runners/walking shoes/hiking shoes/camp shoes/dinner shoes. Excited to see how they hold up!

Quality: Very Good
Sizing: Large
Mostly great

On the stiffer end for barefoot. Nice looking and fitting. Unfortunately one of the insoles is ill-fitting and keeps riding backwards causing my toes to slide off the insole.

Quality: Excellent
Sizing: True to Size
Super comfy but has a slight arch (which is not for me)

Extremely comfy, lots of toe space, and a flexible sole, while looking almost like a regular casual shoe.
My one grievance is that it still has a bit of an arch, but others might find this good.

S
Stephen S.

Shoes are very comfortable, it was recommended buying a size up and this was excellent advice

K
Ksenia K.

Excellent product!

C
Chanon M.

Black Friday deal didn't make much difference.
Shipping was slow.
Shoes are ok but I wouldn't recommend to a friend.
The sole seems to catch small gravel in the grooves, yet has a slightly slick hardness to it, which I can't trust for good grip.
I wanted to love them but the style seems suited to an old grandad.

L
Lachlan M.

Extremely comfortable

Mathias E.

The shoes both look good and are so comfortable. The manufacture quality is excellent.

Daniel K.

A great show for travel and casual. I used these overseas on a trip and only needed these to fulfil all the short hikes and journey's around regional parts of Indonesia. Love them!

H
Henri V.

Great comfort

K
Karen K.

Very nice finish, great to have the wide toe space and laces up well on my narrow foot and doesn't look too bulky. Great walking shoe - hope the good depth soles give more life than my Merrell trail runners which are lovely on sand and grass but start to wear fast on footpaths and roads.
Just as described and I like the olive colour too!

G
George U.

Excellent shoes. Always a bit unknown what you’re going to get online, but these are great. Super comfortable. Super good for wide foot.
I’m looking at buying 2nd pair👍😊

S
Sabine W.

Had to go up a couple of sizes but super happy with fit and feel.

I
Iain G.

Have suffered from feet/ankle/back pain for YEARS, and could never find a shoe that would help longer than a day or two. These are a great pair of casual shoes, use them anytime I leave the house outside of work (and have just ordered a pair of boots that will replace my working pair).

Went with the recommended half size increase and they fit absolutely perfect. Love the bigger toe box.

M
Mathew C.

REally like these shoes. Casual, stylish and comfortable.

D
David B.

Love the barefoot feel of this casual sneaker. Great at the office and morning walks so far. I ended up getting 1.5 over my normal size for a comfortable fit.

S
Sylvie

Super comfortable

S
Skye A.

Lovely shoes - followed the sizing advice and it's spot on - nearly true to size, 1/4 to 1/2 size up is perfect and fits the toe spacers in as well. The first shoes I can comforably wear all day - very nearly as comfortable as socks.

Derek S.

I only received these just last week, along with some Lems Kourt shoes. Worn these the most since then and they're great! Comfortable fit and feel. As light as you'd expect with Lems shoes. I'm an Aussie 8-8.5 but need the US 11 for a perfect fit with enough toe space at the end, which is larger than the template suggested. Bought the Boulder Waterproof Boots previously which have been awesome, getting 5-6 wears a week for work (and I'm on my feet all day with that) for a year now and still going strong. Had to upsize those to an 11, so went straight to that for this pair.
Getting into barefoot style shoes has been a godsend! As have Lems. Love em!!

S
Sally S.

As per the advice on your website, I got one full size bigger and they are perfect. As I have 3 toes all the same size I have no problem with the fit. And they are so comfortable to wear no matter what I’m doing. My third pair of Lems and they won’t be my last. Great service and delivery to. Thanks Bprimal.

S
Samuel

Comfortable from day one. I love the wide toe box and zero drop sole. Excellent shoes.

M
Matthew G.

These are SO stinkin' comfy, they have a lot more padding than other brands like Vivobarefoot but if you're like me and don't want the "full" barefoot feel than these are for you. Wide enough at the toe and zero drop but more thickness to the sole than a similar shoe ie. Vans.

One thing I'll say is be careful with the sizing advice being thrown around in the reviews. I'm a man and usually a US 11 and I got tripped up and actually ordered way too big to start (US 12.5) because of the reviews that said to order up, but they were too long in the tie.

Bprimal told me I should go with 11.5 and I should have gone with that from the start - 11.5 is perfect for me, I would follow the official sizing advice first and foremost for the best experience.

S
Samuel J.

Great shoe. Comfortable from the first wear. Flexible as advertised. Stylish and a nice make. Delivery was fast too. I'll be buying more Lems from bprimal soon.

B
Brendan H.

This is my first pair of barefoot shoes and I have found them very comfortable.
Will definately be getting more.

C
Craig W.

An excellent shoe- I bought them for a trip to Asia. They are comfortable for lots of walking and look classy enough as a good casual shoe. They fit my wife feet comfortably - and I would buy these again.

P
Pamela O.

This is my first pair of Lems and I love them! They are super comfy and a lovely shade of green. The toe box is wide enough that my toes aren’t squished and the heel is narrow enough that my heels don’t slip out. The sizing does run small - I normally wear W8.5-W9 but wear W10 in the Chillums.

Many thanks to the Bprimal team who provided really good advice on what size to buy, and also for suggesting these Chillums when my first choice of Primal 2 Olive shoes was unavailable.

S
Sue T.

Love these shoes!

🌱 LEMS SHOES SPECIFIC FAQ'S

I’m not sure which style to choose. Do you have a comparison chart?

We get it — with so many great styles, it can be tricky to pick just one! To make life easier, Lems has put together a handy chart that compares all the styles side by side. You’ll find details like weight, flexibility, traction, and stack height, so you can see exactly how each shoe measures up.

Check it out on our Lems Sizing and Fitting Info page.

How do I choose the right size?

The size chart for each product shows the inner length and width of each shoe model. Your toes should always have space to move freely: we recommend approx 12mm of space in front of your toes (no less than 6mm and no more than 18mm). Refer to our comprehensive Find your Perfect Fit page for guidance on exactly how to measure your feet and choose the right size. 

Still not sure? Reach out to info@bprimal.com — the team is always happy to help.

How Wide Are Lems Shoes?

Lems Shoes come in 3 Natural-Shape™ widths: MEDIUM, WIDE and WIDEST, depending on the model. Please refer to our Lems Sizing and Fitting Info page for the comparison between models.

What if you are out of stock in my size?

Some of our Lems shoes are very popular, and they sell out fast! If we are out of stock in your size and you are unable to preorder it on our website, please reach out to our team at info@bprimal.com. We are able to preorder Lems shoes, so we can help you place a preorder.

*Please note, dispatch for preorders is typically 3-4 weeks.

Should I choose a shoe with an IBR outsole or a full rubber outsole?

It depends on what you're looking for in performance and durability:

  • Injection Blown Rubber (IBR) outsoles are exceptionally lightweight, flexible, and comfortable—ideal for everyday use and casual activities. However, this lightweight design means they’re slightly less durable than full rubber soles, and may wear down more quickly if used on rough terrain.
  • Full rubber outsoles are more robust and rugged, offering better traction and durability—this makes them great candidates for hiking, trail running, or extended outdoor adventures.
How Can Lems Shoes Benefit You?

With their unique design, featuring a wide toe-box, flexible material, and zero-drop outsole, Lems shoes have the ability to aid in correcting common foot ailments, increase strength in the lower extremities, allow for greater balance, and help realign your posture. Plus, they are just down right comfortable.

I Have Never Worn Barefoot Shoes; Will Lems Shoes Work For Me?

Yes! You may experience some discomfort at first, but, know that this just means the tendons and muscles in your feet adapting to the lack of support that most contemporary shoe companies incorporate into their designs. This should subside over a short period of time.

We typically recommend wearing the shoes sparingly at first, and then progressing to longer durations of wear. It’s all about the transition! Trust the process.

What’s the difference between the Primal 3 and the Primal Zen?

The Primal 3 and Primal Zen are both everyday barefoot shoes with plenty in common — zero-drop, a wide toe box, breathable mesh uppers, and all-day comfort. Here’s where they differ:

  • Primal Zen: More relaxed fit with an attached tongue, firmer heel, slightly higher stack height, and an athletic look.
  • Primal 3: Snugger fit in the arch and heel, detached tongue for flexibility, softer heel, and a sleeker, more minimal appearance.

Both are great for everyday adventures — walking, commuting, or kicking around town. Go Zen if you prefer sporty style, or Primal 3 if you like a minimalist look.

Which waterproof boot is best for me?

Lems has several waterproof boot options, and to help you choose, they’ve created a comparison chart: Lems Sizing and Fitting Info. You’ll see all the key specs side by side.

Insole specifications - what is the difference?

Some of the Lems insoles are cork, and some are poly. All shoes are sold with the insoles inside the shoe - but they are interchangeable and can be easily trimmed with scissors if needed.

For more information on each insole thickness, go to the product page for each insole, click SPECS, and read more.

Do you have any shoes made specifically for women?

Yes! The Laguna is designed just for women, with a narrower heel collar and a slip-on style that’s sleek and versatile. For a slightly less wide option, the Trailhead has a D-width toe box — narrower than most other Lems styles.

Are Lems heavy-duty work boots?

Not quite. Lems boots are lightweight, flexible, and shaped to let your toes splay naturally. They’re not designed for the heavy-duty durability of traditional work boots.

Will Lems help with bunions, hammertoes, plantar fasciitis, or other foot issues?

Many customers with these foot conditions have found relief in Lems thanks to the roomy toe box, flexibility, and zero-drop platform. That said, it’s always best to chat with your doctor to see if Lems are right for you.

I have flat feet. Can I wear Lems?

Absolutely! If your flat feet feel good with minimal arch support, wide toe boxes, and flexible soles, Lems could be a great fit for you. Many people with flat feet find them super comfortable.

Can I Wear Lems Shoes With Custom Orthotics?

All of Lems shoes feature an insole within the shoes that can be removed to allow room for almost all custom orthotics.

Are Lems insulated for cold weather?

Lems shoes and boots aren’t insulated or temperature-rated. But pair them with warm socks or insulated insoles, and you’ll be adventure-ready even when it’s chilly. We recommend pairing with Bprimal Merino Wool toe socks to keep your feet cozy.

How Would You Recommend Cleaning My Lems?

For shoes featuring mesh or canvas, use lukewarm water and mild dish soap to hand wash your shoes. Please allow your shoes to air dry completely over 24hrs before wearing.

*Please note: If you soak your shoes in hot water for a period of time, this can cause the dye fixative or mordant to be removed and can result in the colour running. As Lems shoes have a rubber outsole, high heat washing can also shrink the shoes, so Lems do not recommend putting your shoes in the washer. 

For leather shoes, use a suitable leather care cleaner To dry your shoes, just leave them out at room temperature and not expose them to heat.

Do Lems contain latex?

Some styles do. Here’s the breakdown:

  • Contain latex in the elastic: Chelsea Boots, Drifters, Laguna.
  • Contain latex in the rubber soles: Boulder Summit, Outlander, Boulder Boot Grip, Kourt Grip, Primal Pursuit.
Do I Need To Order A Size Larger To Accommodate The Correct Toes?

In most cases you should not have to order a larger size to allow room for Correct Toes. We recommend removing the insole when you are wearing correct toes, to create extra volume in the shoe if you need it.  If you have a very wide foot you may have to order one size up to accommodate the Correct Toes.

What Is There Is A Problem With My Shoes?

We always look to be reasonable and fair in resolving any problem you have with your order from us. Please email info@bprimal.com with your order number and photos.
