These are my second purchase of these very comfortable shoes. I’m normally very hard on shoes. With sneakers I would buy 4E fitting but they always split near the soul due to my bunions I guess. Doesn’t happen with these Lems. I also have a pair of boulder boots which I love.

I bought these for my husband who has extremely flat feet and stiff ankles. As a physiotherapist, I looked at several types of foot wear before deciding on this brand and make. He is walking with improved ankle mobility and is feeling less fatigue in his lower limbs.
I will be recommending them to my patients.

YAY! What a great pair of shoes! I had developed corns between my two last toes and by the end of the day would be in such pain just walking. The wide toe box is exactly what I needed and pain and corns are gone! Thank you so much!

Never had BPrimal/LEMS before & loving them!! I have had VIVO in the past & Im enjoying the change over!!

Incredible, best running shoes I've ever had. I literally yelled out woth joy as soon as I put them on... as I've been searching do long for the perfect shoe.
Nice wide toe box... with a mid foot and heel area that fits perfectly snug.
Stack height is goldilocks perfect... assuming like me you think vivobarefoot is too thin and most other runners are too tall.
Size is true, don't overthink it... just buy a pair in your normal running shoe size.

I wore my Lems several days straight after they arrived. What a fabulous shoe! They are comfortable with thick or thin socks (happy about this!!) and the wide toe box is pure joy.

Only shoes I own and will ontinue to be while Lem make them. Fit my wide feet with toe spacers perfectly.

I broke my large toe decades ago. The titanium screw holding my toe together has had the bone grow over the top. This is painful with pressure and gotten worse over recent years. This shoe is the first time I've been able to go throughout the day with zero pain. I can distribute the weight of my foot across all my toes and don't have pressure on my big toe. I will be interested to see how they fair for quality since I normally buy leather, stitched soled footwear. They are super light, incredibly comfortable, and really enjoy the feel of the ground under my feet.

I did try another smaller size (after advice) but knew as soon as I tried them that they were too small.
It took a while to get my next size up sent, but now I am happy. Comfortable and plenty of toe space. ☺️

I am a 68 year old woman who does want to lose flexibility and fitness with age, these shoes along with some foot information I have gleaned along the way are now a big part of my on going well being. My balance has improved because I am now more conscious and have more contact with the ground while out walking and my toe and leg muscles seem to be getting a better work out, very pleased with my purchase thank you.

Love my Lems - Thank you :)

Best, most comfortable bare foot shoe I’ve had to date.
Looks great goes with all styles of clothes 100% happy wth them.
Great job.

Great shoes for walking with toe box even for bunions, super happy with them.

Excellent shoe, so comfortable and you feel lie you are really walking barefoot nut in comfortable shoes. I wear them everywhere and I would want to buy another colour!!
Yevhen K.
Pretty good quality. For sizing I used template provided by bprimal, and they feel good. Width wise in my experience they are as wide as vivo, but they have more volume. While walking, they feel quite soft compared to vivo.
Alison M.
My favourite barefoot shoes. super comfy, easy to wear, and they fit correct toes.
Aaron M.
First pair of barefoot shoes and will not be my last! I found the size to be true to what I wear in 'regular' shoes. I have been walking around on many different surfaces and have been very happy.

Shoes are comfortable and fit is good
Glenn M.
Hi, I've given top marks because the shoes are very comfortable and they arrived quickly. Unfortunately after only the first two days, the inside of the right shoe has parted (see my picture) in a high flex area. Other than that section, the rest of the shoes construction seems to be of high quality. Hopefully the fault was a small misstep in the construction process and the remaining joins hold up because I can see myself always wanting to wear these shoes. It would be good to hear from you how I can best fix this seam.
Cheers
Kristin H.
Amazing shoe, true to size chart and fast processing/delivery. Definitely recommend and will buy from bprimal again!

not the first time i have this type of shoe, so I knew my size in advance. great shoes

As a person that spends a lot of time on their feet running around. I can not rave on about how comfortable, strong and durable these shoes are.. I work in the hospitality world and can wear out shoes in a matter of weeks, so to be put on to these Australian owned company as a option to go with, I am stoked….
Don’t even think about not getting a pair……
Petah Martin
Bought these for my high school aged grandson as school sports shoes. He has never been a fan of conventional shoes and has always spent his out of school hours barefooted or in thongs if footwear is needed.
He LOVES these shoes and has requested ( and received) a pair of Lems Nine2Fives as school shoes.
He loves the freedom, flexibility, flatness and ground feel of both pairs of shoes and says he’ll never go back.

yes wonderful

Bought a pair of these to replace my Joe Nimbles(they are great). These are great too, so great that my son decided that he wanted a pair as well. Use the size guide and you won't go wrong.

Very good. The process was easy and quick and the goods arrived promptly.

This is the second pair of these Primal 2 I have purchased in this colour. They feel so good. They look so good. Wear with dresses etc or casual. And walk all day in them. Brilliant !
Cameron
These are my second par of Primal 2, with other purchases being the Boulder and Primal Pursuits. These shoes are great with some considerations for running. Like all more minimalist shoes there is a prolonged period that you need to adjust to the type of running. However I was able make the transition over the course of two shoes and was able to achieve Buffalo stampede 2022 Australia 42km. The shoes performed well with holding up in durability, although you do have to pick your footing to avoid bruising the under foot. The biggest issue was the mountainous design of the course along with rain saw these shoes lose traction at times. (Which is kinda expected with the heavy rain). I was planning to run with the pursuits but they arrived too late.
Bottom line, great shoes and will purchase again but just know the limitations of this great shoes. Cheers

Really comfy shoes
Max Stephenson
These were my first barefoot shoes. First of all, they fit perfectly. I was quite apprehensive about buying shoes online (as I am usually hopeless in person and always suffer the awkward first weeks breaking in new shoes). However, I found the guide to be straightforward and accurate. They slipped on and felt fine from day one. The shoes look fine, and they feel good to walk with. The main concern I have with barefoot shoes is how long they last considering the thin outsole. Time will tell... One word of caution, these shoes are very breathable so if you live in a very cold place like me your feet will feel it more. It also means a rainy day is not a good day to wear these. I wear these as my general shoes for everyday use, but switch things up in bad weather!
Paul Wheldale
Excellent shoe. Was apprehensive as I’d never worn a barefoot shoe and wasn’t sure of the fit. I am broad through my whole foot and typically wear a US14 in a 4E width. I brought a 14 and I have plenty of room throughout. No problem with space. Only thing is the outsole is wearing fairly quickly. Other than that, they’re awesome. Will buy again.

I love my Lems! This is my first experience with barefoot/zero drop shoes and after a month I really don't see myself ever buying another type of shoe.
They are so comfortable, and lightweight yet have all the functionality of any other shoe. You really don't get the relief feeling of taking shoes off at the end of the day because when you're wearing Primal 2s you constantly have that feeling.
My only concern prior to buying was that the toe box might appear too broad and look unusual. But my opinion has changed and I really don't see anything strange about the appearance.
Bronwyn Eather
Loving these shoes. From tennis, walking and onto the stage.
Sarah Divine
A tried and tested favourite. I love moving around in these shoes. My feet feel so happy! They are great for martial art style practices, too, as the sole is thin and flexible. I wear them for Qigong practice when the ground is too cold to go barefoot, or I'm on concrete.
Mike McGuire
These Primal 2 are really excellent shoes. For a basis of comparison on comfort I have both Brooks Glycerin 19 and Brooks Ghost 14. The reason I gave 4 stars instead of five stars is because like other shoe makers they leave short a couple of things that would make for perfection. Perhaps at extra cost they could add another model, say Primal 2 Deluxe or Primal 2 Extra. That Deluxe or Primal 2 Extra would add the 4E size but also retain a 2E size as the current model. When the insole was removed it would not expose the stitching on the bottom, as do other shoes. If that is too hard to fix they could include a very thin insole with the LEMS name and this would make for a much better platform for bare feet or very thin socks. I would also add a single thicker insole which 4E size would easily accommodate so if someone felt like something with a bit of cushion then the thick insole would deliver. If they did this I would buy a Pair of 4E with thick insoles used all the time in a shoe I might only wear every two or three days.
But as the Primal 2 stands I can say no more than the fact two days after my order for Olive Primal 2 arrived I ordered another pair in Black.

A wonderful shoe, my toes don't know themselves as they have room to move. My large bunion also fits in without any pressure placed on it.
Anonymous
Pretty good so far. One shoe is a little looser around the heel than the other. Perhaps my shoes have been held in place by my squashed up toes? Looking forward to seeing how they go over the next year. Overall quite happy.

My Physiotherapist recommended those shoes. It really improved my feet situation a lot. I followed my physiotherapist’s instruction to wear them 5 mins to walk as start till wear them for the long walk. The feet and muscles need time to adjust to put in the right way if you wore pointed and elevated shoes before. The sizing guide really helps.
Alex
Hands down the best pair of shoes I've ever bought. Finally, my feet feel at home in shoes rather than cramped in. Knee pain, gone. Toe pain, gone. Ankles, protected from sprains.
For those new to minimalist shoes and who haven't spent much time in bare feet, I suggest starting with a semi-minimalist shoe like Altras and then moving. I am transitioning from a mid-cushion Altra to Lems, and am able to wear my Lems more and more (half the time right now). I have no doubt that they will become my default shoe within a few months.

I didn't realize how cramped my toes were and how easy it was to fix the problem until l purchased these shoes out of desperation. All my foot problems have disappeared now. Thank you.

The most comfortable joggers I have ever worn, I have a small foot, but broad across the toes & find it very difficult to find a good quality fit.
These are by far the best purchase I have made.
Excellent customer service and fast postage..

Very happy to wear these shoes

I used their online shoe size guide by taking a photo and went with the size recommendation and its a perfect fit. Its a tad bit narrow at the heel but once youve broken the shoe in, its all good.
I use these shoes for everything, walking/running/sprinting, jumping, hiking and gym training as well as work.

Great. Lots of room for my toes!

I love these shoes so much I have two pairs. They fit perfectly and are sturdy but let you feel the ground. The only thing for me is I always have to change the laces to elastic ones so I can just pull them on. They are the best. Just get some.
Sarah Verdich
I love these shoes! They are super comfy, perfect fit . Plenty of room for my toes - no bunching or squishing !!
I will be purchasing another pair in another colour for sure !
Kylie Warren
After having a lot of toe box issues from substandard shoes over the years these shoes are my saving Grace.
The toe box is so roomy and the zero drop means that I can get back to building strength in my foot and leg muscles. I’ve been wearing them walking and at the gym.
Walking, the tread gets worn down quite quickly but great from general gym wear. Really happy with them overall.

These shoes are a dream to wear!

I lLOVE my Lems. I have the Boulder Boots and love them, but wanted a sneaker type shoe to travel and walk around in. I got them today and they fit perfect. A little wider than the Boulder boot, which is perfect for my foot. LOVE them. Thank you to the staff for all your support, as it took me a little bit to decide and finally get them.
Christina Sisnaiske
My third pair of these lems shoes. Very comfy and flexible. Only issue is for the price they wear out fairly quickly other than that they are an excellent shoe.

The black primal 2 are a very comfy zero drop, wide toe box shoe. They look great. There is good ventilation but I've noticed they let cold air in on chilly days. Nice quality. I'd buy again.

Absolutely love these.I’m super fussy with shoes and these didn’t disappoint at all.
Would definitely buy again. I found sizing was true to size.

I was hesitant at spending money on another pair of shoes but I am so glad I did. I have some neuropathy following chemo for breast cancer which has made comfort difficult to achieve. My LEMS have been amazing so far and I can see myself buying more!!

I have hypermobile ankles, collapsed arches, planar facitis, shin splints and anterior compartment syndrome, and my podiatrist recomended wearing these a little every day and they have been a game changer in my overall rehabilitation. I use these as a tool to increase the contact of my heel strike with the ground and honestly these are so comfortable. I am very happy with my purchase.

The shoe is great and fits true to size as advertised. I went for a 7km walk on the first day of use and the shoe felt as though I'd been wearing it for years, no breaking in period required!

I have been wearing my Lems Primal 2 for a couple of weeks now. I am very happy with these shoes. My toes are free to move, and my feet feel more stable and grounded, and less restricted than in traditional running shoes. They are comfortable, and they look good on my feet.
I have been wearing these shoes on long walks - the longest being 20kms. Before Lems, I was wearing 'normal' Nike running shoes, and I would develop blisters within the first 2-3kms. With Lems, I have had NO blisters whatsoever, which is a first for me!
With Lems, after about 15kms walking, I have experienced some pain on the bottom of my feet. But, I think this might be me getting used to wearing thinner soled shoes. I plan to invest in some gel insoles to see if it improves things, at least until I am more used to the Lems.
These shoes work best when I am wearing the Injinji toe socks - in 'normal' socks, my feet slide around, and my toes curl under. I actually thought my Lems were too small at first, as the 'normal' socks make my toes hit the end of the shoe when walking. With the Injinji toe socks, this doesn't happen. I would say that if you aren't getting on with the Lems, or you are still experiencing toe cramping, etc, try them with the toe socks as well, as the difference is very noticeable.
Finally, the team at bPrimal were really helpful, and gave excellent advice on my choosing the right size of shoe, and my shoes were Express delivered the next day. I would definitely recommend bPrimal as an excellent online shopping experience.
Chitra Saraswati
This is my first minimalist shoe; they are incredibly comfortable and look pretty good. I'm very happy with them.
The only issue I had was I got a size too big. I looked up my size using the table on the Lems website (after measuring my feet); I had to exchange it for a size down and so paid extra for shipping. I was aware of this risk considering I purchased this shoe online though.
Overall quite happy as the exchange process with bprimal was straightforward and painless, and the shoes incredibly comfortable. I highly recommend the product.

These are my very first zero-drop shoes, and I can highly recommend them. I find them very comfortable with plenty of room for the toes to spread. The heal support is a bit high, and I would normally end up with blisters after five minutes of wearing. But not with these shoes, they are very soft and do not cause any trouble at all. I am wearing them always with socks.
The sizing chart is rather confusing. My foot length is 24.9cm, and my guess would be to choose the size 7.5 (women's sizes), according to the chart. However, I made an enquiry per email, and Faye advised me to choose size 8.5.
The shoes fit perfectly. There is just enough room for a thicker sock if needed.
Rene Sinkjaer
Love my new lems, the extra wide toebox really is wonderful.
I had to put in a thicker insole for a bit of extra comfort.
So far its heaven.
Karl Fontaine
and these are great shoes. Worth every cent.

These were comfortable from the first minute i put them on. And they continue to be the most comfortable shoe i have ever worn. I work in them all day, i go for my walks in them. Highly recommend.

Bought these for my teen, who didn’t want anything ‘too weird mum’ but was willing to stick to the minimal shoe for foot health. She’s really happy with them and has also been wearing them to cafe work.
We had a slight hiccup in sizing, but the returns process with BPrimal was so easy.
Leisa Smith
Loved being able to talk to someone easily and get advise
Katie Humphries
Onto my second pair of these. They're great - very comfortable, and very normal looking! Would love it if they had half sizes, and I could even go for a slightly wider toe box, but still the best barefoot sneakers I've tried yet.
Anna spicer
My first pair of barefoot shoes. Due to relatively thick soles, they're easy as first pair to transition into. Still get lots of feel for the ground and very flexible. Wide toe box (one of the widest on the market?) yet doesn't look odd. I use them for gym, walking and general errands. Light too. Love them!
Judy Dawson
This shoe is snug, roomy and vegan, ticks all my boxes. I will never go back to regular shoes. My corn is nearly gone, my sciatica pain has almost reduced to zero as my body adjusts to wearing zero drop shoes. My husband and I love our Primal 2. My only gripe is I wish the back of the shoe at the arcillies heel wasn't so high.

They are excellent shoes and very comfortable. This is the third pair I have bought as I like wearing them so much. The only feedback you may wish to take into consideration is that the front toe section of the shoe splits a bit after a while - it has done so on my last 2 pairs after a few months wear, so although they are still quite wearable they look bit tatty there. Maybe a bit more reinforcement would help?
Glen Walton
Great service. Prompt delivery. Shoes are a good fit and very comfy.
Hope to buy Lems boots in the future.

Absolutely love my new shoes, they are the perfect size, so comfy. The customer service was outstanding too. Thank you
Tony Brown
The shoes are comfortable, now getting used to the ‘correct toes’ but with the toe socks on, everything is very good.
My first thoughts were ‘are the shoes too large’ those thoughts were put at rest once the shoes were on. One point I will say pity that Lems do not put 6 rows of eyelets which seems to be a standard with other manufacturers, with 6 rows it enables to have the lacing away from the centre of the foot! Will discuss my reasons in a phone call I will make after I send this email.
Regards,
Tony Brown
