I bought the black leather Primal Zen for work. I’m on my feet all day and they are comfortable enough to wear an entire shift. My feet soles do feel a bit sensitive on the drive home when putting my foot on the brake, after a day on my feet, which didn’t happen in my old joggers. And I do want to take them off at home (same with my old shoes though). However for standing during work for 8 hours the Primal Zen are more comfortable with the wide toe box. I had been getting an ingrown toenail but since wearing these it has gone away. I enjoy the feeling of my forefoot being able to spread out and my feet feel free.
Trying to deduce my size:
- My medium insoles for size 9 to 10 shoes from The Athlete’s Foot measured 27cm which correlated with size 11 on the chart for primal Zen
- I printed out the Lems sizing guide and checked its accuracy and my foot measured between size W11.0 and W11.5
- My foot manually measured 24 cm which correlated with size 8.5 Primal Zen on the Lems sizing page.
- When I did the scan measurement with the camera it said I was 8.5
Very confusing getting two recommendations of W8.5 and two recommendations for W11!
I ended up getting the correct size for me (W10) because my partner had bought the Primal Zen in a different colour W10.5 which I tried on and decided I would fit a half size smaller.
In the Primal Zen description it is the most accurate suggestion - it says to choose half size up from your regular size, I would recommend half to one size up. I am size 9 in regular joggers and got size 10 in the Primal Zen.
