Bprimal Footwear Reviews

Hands down the best shoes I've ever purchased. The style is incredible, and quality of build is fantastic. I've come from wearing vans basically my whole life to these. I'm wearing these as an everyday casual/hiking boot when needed. I work in retail and I'm on my feet 10 hours plus per day and for the first time, my feet aren't sore. Comfortable, natural feeling, stylish, quality. It feels like I'm more barefoot than wearing no shoes at all. If you're like me and are used to having to size up ...

I wear these shoes for the gym. They have great grip and are very minimal, but I can still spin on the bike much more comfortably due to the nubs on the tread than I have been able to in vivos. I've started doing pilates/weights with these shoes on rather than in socks as they're so comfortable and the grip helps me keep my feet more static. Love these - I would definitely recommend them!

Best Lems I've bought and I own a few different styles (Primal 2, Primal 3, Chillum). The shape fits my foot in all models but these aren't mesh or canvas and cradle my foot much better. I find the other materials collapse at the heel and leave an uncomfortable ridge that digs into the rear of my foot, but not with this model. They are well built, display excellent materials, look good in a professional setting, and are so comfortable I want to wear them all the time.

They are a unisex shoe so run half a size larger than the other models. For example I am a size 12us or 11.5 in barefoot. Shoes. These are a size 12 and fit like the 11.5. Good quality, build no lose threads or glue. Good median between comfort for a boot and ground feel.

My first barefoot boots & I love them. So wonderful to have so much room in a shoe that fits perfectly Love them so much I bought Shapen Divine ankle boots as well, so I have dark and light colours for all my clothes

Leather is very stiff, need to break it in & a bit difficult to get your feet in. I used the tool that recommends a size, probably could have gone one size up but am hoping that they will stretch a bit with wear.

I originally ordered one size bigger after reading reviews online and buying notes here, but the size up was too big and I swapped them for my usual size. I regrettably didn’t use the online sizing tool. The boots are super comfortable and kept my feet warm and dry while hiking in cold and drizzle. Perfectly lightweight and flexible. I hadn’t heard of Freet before purchasing these boots but would definitely look to them for other styles in the future. Love the boots.

Perfect shoes for care/school lasts until they need a new size and easy to clean. I’ve bought two pairs so far and I’m very happy will be buying a new pair for my son soon

Comfiest boots I've ever owned. No breaking in time. They fit toe spacers with no problems. I do believe these boots have contributed to my foot health improvements. I have three pairs now. Another black on back order. Well worth the money.

I just love these Lems Chelsea boots, they are so comfortable & look great on. The quality is excellent & I can’t wait to use them overseas on my upcoming holiday. The fit is spot on for both thick woollen socks or normal everyday socks. A big thank you to the customer service team at Bprimal who helped with sizing & boot recommendations.

I am most grateful for these and will always recommend them to those around me. The boots fit so well, I have no trouble wearing them all day with no pain in my feet. Hope to buy another pair as I am able. Thanks team for such a good job, blessings to you all.

Lems - Waterproof Boulder Boot Summit - Rugged Bark (Unisex)

Andrea W.

My foot size is a large 40EU on the measurement charge so I ordered a 41. This physically fit but felt too snug and there was minimal room at the front. I ended up swapping for a 42 and it fits well, quite roomy. So definitely size up one or two sizes. It is comfortable and doesn't look oversized or strange compared to other hiking boots. I do notice that it is less flexible than some other barefoot shoes I have, which is probably due to the grippier, tougher sole. All things considered though...

Freet - Mudee 2 - Black (Unisex)

Regan T.

Didn’t even need to break these in comfortable from first wear. Great fit and very light. I like the cushioning with zero drop.. I’ve had vivo’s in the past and the thin soles don’t suit the terrain I do my daily walks on. Love the updated jogger design they don’t look daggy like a lot of barefoot shoes. Highly recommend Lems.

Lems - Primal 3 - Black (Unisex)

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👍😊

Lems - Chillum - Spruce (Unisex)

Brian W.

At first I was very skeptical about ordering footwear on line but then impressed with bPrimal's system and process (using the A4 paper - very clever) and my son's recommendation got me over the line. The Lems boots arrived as promised and I'm very happy with the fit, comfort and quality. The sole is a little thicker/stronger than I expected - so I'm not as concerned about wearing them in tougher terrain as I thought I may have been.

I love correct toes. These are the 6 th pair I’ve bought over the last 10 years. Brilliant for my bunions and making my toes more aligned. I’d be LOST and terribly frustrated without correct toes !

I wear Lems Kourt in 8.5M/10W. The Bprimal team suggested a 9M/10.5W in the Drifter and it's perfect. I love the collapsible back of the Drifter so I can just slide my foot in like a slipper. Or I can pull the back but over my heel for a more secure fit. They're lovely and wide in the toe box, and I can fit my orthotics in easily. I'm so hooked on Lems transition styles - barefoot with a little cushioning.

Lems - Drifter - Kelp (Unisex)

Gail C.

I have really bad toe issues which caused a lot of pain everyday. I’ve been wearing them for just over a week and no pain.Will definitely be buying some more

Amazing boots, so comfortable. I bought a half size larger as I had the original boulder boot so bought the same size and I am glad I did as the size was perfect. I think the size 11 which is what was recommended would have been too small. The grip sole on these is a major upgrade from the original style.

Lems - Boulder Boot Grip WP - Dakota (Unisex)

Brian V.

I love my correct toes. The material is easier to clean and more durable than similar products from other suppliers. They are comfortable to wear. I particularly like that they can be customized to expand the spread between the big and second toe.

Enjoying first pair of LEMS and barefoot shoes. Much more room for my wider mid-foot. Stability on the ground increased and helping with Tai Chi practice. Continuing to wear throughout the day and will assess to buy more zero drop shoes allowing toes to move freely for bushwalking.

Lems - Primal 3 - Black (Unisex)

Sarah E.

I love the simplicity of the design and the value for price is unbeatable! Will continue to purchase the same shoe for my son as his feet continue to grow. Thanks for creating an affordable shoe for kids!

Bprimal Kids - Classic - Blackout (Vegan) School Shoes

Steven S.

These are very comfortable and stable walking shoes. They have quite a bit of cushioning so will disappoint the barefoot purist but I like the added protection on rough surfaces. You can use them without the insoles for a bit more ground feel. The quality is excellent and the foot shape is great for my slightly wider feet. The most comfortable shoes of this type I’ve ever worn. They would be perfect shoes for those transitioning to minimalist footwear as there’s not too much adjustment needed fr...

Very happy. They have lots of room for your toes which is exactly what I was looking for. I have been squashing my feet into shoes all my life and are now suffering the consequences. Trying to reverse or at least slow down more degradation of my feet. After listening to a podcast from a leading foot doctor I went searching for "wide box shoes" which she said was an absolute non negotiable ! There are not too many true wide box shoes to choose from and these were definitely the nicest looking. Th...

Lems - Chelsea Boot Waterproof - Obsidian (Unisex)

Yogita M.

Simply the best everyday barefoot shoe out there. Lightweight, truly thin sole with good ground feel, flexible, wide toe box but a good taper to the heel (most other shoes are wide in the heel so it ends up being loose!), and a stylish design. I have these in black and white, and I hope they never discontinue as there's nothing comparable out there. Joe Nimble if you're reading this, take note - and also, please bring back the ComfyToes leather shoes!!

Purchased for my son, he wore them to school the first day after I received the shoes and he wore them that whole day without any of the issues usually associated with a new pair of shoes. He said they were comfortable. I just changed out the flat shoelaces for round leather ones (to match the look of the school's uniform requirements) :)

Weronika W.

Great quality shoes with a wide toe box, but still looking good. Very comfortable, I can wear them all day and my feet are happy at the end of teh day. Nice thick zero drop sole, so my feet don't get cold like in some other brands barefoot shoes. Highly recommended!

I did a lot of considering ( on and off for over a year)which barefoot style boots to buy when I wanted to replace some old Chelsea boots. I couldn't find black ones ,so I was very pleased when these came out.I am very satisfied with the style and the look, as it is always a concern if you can't try them on first to see how they look. These have my full recommendation !

Love my lems, very well made, the wide toe box is a revolution for my feet. This is my second pair and intend to replace all my shoes with lems in the different styles. Highly recommended

Martin M.

This is my 3rd pair of freet (after pace and tanga), all freet have that comfortable feel and ready to use from the day 1. Look wise, york is really sleek and professional, something that i was looking for to wear in office environment. The leather is really soft and it looks it will get better overtime (kind of vintage looks i will say), also its water repellent and suede feel. Comfort wise, it's really comfortable and same as other freet, i can feel my sole (i like it that way, feel grounded...

Freet - York - Black (Unisex)

Maureen M.

These shoes were just what I wanted for gym work. I used all the sizing aids, including Personalised Foot Scan, and ordered according to the recommendation which was half a size larger than my normal size. The first pair was considerably too big but my regular size was out of stock so, because the shoes appeared to be very roomy, I tried going down a size. Unfortunately these were just a little too snug so I await in hope that new stock will arrive in my size. The bprimal team was extremely quic...

They fit like they were made for me. They are so much better than the other cheaper one-size-fits all options out there. I wear women's size EU38 and got the size small. I can't tell yet (few days of use) if they are helping with my Morton's neuroma but they are definitely of high quality and are comfortable to wear.

Correct Toes® - Toe Spacers

Kerry A.

Contacted help on screen, who unfortunately didn't advise me on correct size, so a mens 9 arrived. I needed a 7.5 womens. Had to return shoes after waiting 3 weeks for them, to then reorder and waiting another 2 weeks. But am very, very happy with the shoes, correct size and have worn them every working day since I got them. No blisters, or sore feet from new shoes. Have recommended them to anyone who has asked.

Lloyda F.

I love my new Freet shoes. This is my first pair of barefoot shoes and I have been happy from the first instant that I put them on. After just a few short weeks my feet hate having anything else on them.

Freet - Flex - Blue (Unisex)

Julie R.

So comfortable from first wear. Waterproofing seems excellent and ankle area which was stiff to start, softened very quickly. So far have only done a couple of short walks , (2hrs each) but no problems. Plenty of toe room, a little support around the heel which is what I need. Reccommend these boots.

Lems - Boulder Boot Grip WP - Dakota (Unisex)

Cath P.

The Jo Nimble wander toes are a real novelty after heavy, stout walking boots. These ones are light strong, incredibly comfortable while having very good grip and support. Like many other owners of barefoot shoes I hardly remember I am wearing shoes.

Joe Nimble - wanderToes 2.0 - Womens - Brown

Paulina C.

I would like to say I loved the thick leather, and the feel inside. I chose size with both measurement tools they have on the page and both resulted in size 39. They are quiet roomy inside, but I need to wear them with my toe spreaders too and thicker socks. The toe area is not high, so I think maybe the size was okay. And strangely enough, they fit me roomy but next to my other normal shoes, they are smaller!! Anyways, they are very comfortable, I love the freedom my toes have and feel like my ...

Comfortable from the first wear, the Summit boots are the best hiking books I’ve ever owned. I wore them recently on a three day hike in the Tasmanian wilderness and they coped with everything; water, mud, scree, rocks. The wide toe-box enabled more stability, than any of my previous hiking boots, on loose surfaces.

Lems - Waterproof Boulder Boot Summit - Rugged Bark (Unisex)

Samantha P.

Love these. The fit is really well and are super comfortable. I have just transitioned to bare foot shoes and have had no trouble with wearing these. I previously wore Skechers with a taller base. However, I have loved wearing these without any issues of sore feet, blisters or squishing toes. I pair these with my toes socks which work well together to give my toes space to move. My foot length is 25cm and I got these in a size W9.5.

Lems - Primal 2 - Cloud (Womens)

Deb R.

On advice I bought 1 1/2 sizes up as I have a wide toe shape. These boots are so comfy. I’m wearing them to school each day to break them in for travel to Europe in winter but really they have been great since I first put them in so I don’t think they need to be “broken in”.
