SIZING & FIT GUIDE

Our Fit recommendation for this shoe based on customer feedback: Fit is True to Size. We recommend to allow 6-14mm of space for your toes. The amount of space you have will depend on how the length of your feet compares to the sizing. The ideal fit for you will depend on how wide your feet are and/or if you prefer your footwear to fit snug or spacious.

If you don't know your normal EU 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.

Purchased for my son whose feet are too big for kids sizing and too small for mens sizing- these were perfect :)

Luise C.

These are my first pair of Vivobarefoot’s and I am thoroughly enjoying wearing them. Comfortable and well made, I am looking forward to seeing how the leather wears and has a more aged appearance in time. I would buy them in black, too if these were available in my size!

🌱 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 a 3.5m insole within the shoes that can be removed to allow room for almost all custom orthotics.

Are Any Of Lems Products Waterproof?

Yes! Lems now offer the Waterproof Boulder Boot. 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.
