Sustainable, breathable, and built for everyday movement – the Lems Primal Eco in Fossil is a unisex minimalist shoe designed to deliver comfort, performance, and eco-conscious style. With an upper made from up to 50% recycled materials, this earth-toned essential is perfect for everything from trail strolls to urban adventures. Built on Lems’ WIDEST Natural-Shape™ last with a zero-drop platform, it promotes natural alignment, proper toe splay, and a grounded feel with every step.

Sharing the same grippy Injection Blown Rubber (IBR) outsole as the Primal 3, the Primal Eco offers excellent traction and flexibility. Welded overlays reinforce durability, while breathable mesh panels and a gusseted tongue keep your feet cool and protected. Finished with a moisture-wicking cork insole and a soft polyester lining, the Primal Eco in Fossil is the go-to shoe for those who move naturally and tread lightly.

Features:

  • Eco-friendly upper made from recycled microfiber and breathable air mesh

  • Lems WIDEST Natural-Shape™ fit for full toe splay and natural movement

  • Zero-drop platform to support healthy posture and alignment

  • Lightweight Injection Blown Rubber (IBR) outsole for grip and flexibility

  • Welded overlays for increased durability in high-stress zones

  • Mesh panelling for enhanced ventilation and breathability

  • Gusseted tongue to prevent debris entry and improve comfort

SIZING & FIT GUIDE

Our Fit recommendation for this shoe based on customer feedback: Fit is true to size. If between sizes, we recommend ordering up.

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 bought these in early December 2024 and haven't been able to take them off. They are so comfy and stylish in a retro way, with plenty of room to accomodate my toe correctors (I have bunions on both feet), and versatile enough to go with jeans, dresses, shorts. I have rather high arches, and was wondering about the zero drop design. Have been walking all over Sydney in them without getting sore feet, they didn't require any "breaking in".

Was worried they'd show dirt easily, being a pale cream/beige, but they've been fine so far. Taking them travelling overseas for the next few months.

p.s. I'd initially bought these online, and went to the physical store at Neutral Bay to change one size down. The shoes are true to size, but I had thought I needed a larger size. The staff at the store were friendly and helpful.

Beautiful Shoe!!

I love the way it fits and the comfort around the lacing to allow for the perfect amount of tightness without needing to pull much. I’m excited to see how long they last as at the moment the materials look robust with dexterity.

🌱 LEMS SHOES SPECIFIC FAQ'S

How Wide Are Lems Shoes?

Lems Shoes come in 3 different widths, depending on the model. Please refer to this page for the comparison between models. Lems Shoe Comparison

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.

Do Lems Shoes Come In Half Sizes?

Yes! Lems currently offer all shoes except the Primal 2s in half sizes.

What Are Length And Width Differences For Half And Whole Sizes? 

For each half size, a shoe will increase approximately by 4 mm in the length and 1 mm in the width; for each whole size, a shoe will increase by about 8 mm in the length and 2 mm in the width.

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.

I Suffer From Bunions, Hammertoes, Plantar Fasciitis, Etc...; Will Lems Shoes Work For Me?

Though Lems shoes are not for everyone, we have had a lot of success stories from customers who have suffered from a myriad foot ailments such as these, tried Lems shoes, and ultimately found relief. 

I Have High Arches/Instep; Will Lems Shoes Work For Me?

Lems have designed their shoes to fit as many foot shapes as possible, but sometimes they just do not. It is difficult to give a definite answer to this one, but we feel that the best way to know is by trying the shoes.

My Doctor Instructs Me To Wear Custom Orthotics; Will Lems Shoes Work For Me?

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

Are Any Of Lems Products Waterproof?

Yes! Lems have a large range of waterproof models. If you were looking to enhance the water-resiliency of any shoes, Lems recommend using any sort water-repellent product (Nikwax, Scotchgard, etc.) to help with that.

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 leather care cleaner like the Otter Wax Leather Care Kit. To dry your shoes, just leave them out at room temperature and not expose them to heat.

What Is The Warranty On Lems Products?

Lems shoes are typical lifespan of 300-600 miles, however, some people will get more or less life out of their shoes as there are many factors to consider when it comes to wear and tear including walking gait, frequency of use, and the surfaces you are walking on to name a few. If the item you have purchased from us is defective, or becomes defective within 90 days of original purchase, we will exchange it for free or provide a refund.
