Cute and comfortable. I’ve been wearing these shoes to my restaurant job and am going home with a lot less pain and inflammation in my feet. Really happy with them

I think these shoes are awesome, right from the start they were comfortable very light and just what I wanted so if you are thinking about purchasing please do you won’t be disappointed

The toe spacers have already made a difference, I wear them all the time as my big toe was starting to go over the next toe! No pain now and hopefully my two is starting to realign itself. I use both just in case my other foot decides to develop a bunion too. I highly recommend these fir anyone with bunions. Biprimal dispatched them quickly.

My Son has been wearing these summer shoes for 7 years and he wont wear anything else when the weather permits. My only concern is that they sell out so quickly. Five star shoes.

Vivobarefoot Ultra Bloom Kids - Blue Aqua

These sandals are excellently designed and made. I especially like the Elite strapping system that allows you to really ‘dial in’ the fit. I ordered slightly small and had to exchange them for one size up - but that’s because I didn’t allow enough space on the printed sizing template! Which leads me to praise bprimal for their efficient exchange policy. It’s so helpful for ordering minimalist shoes which are only available to most of us online. Especially as I live in Aotearoa/NZ. Excellent sand...

Shamma - Warriors - Ultragrip (Unisex)

Tim C.

Men’s 11.5 fits me well, I’m usually size 44 in Ecco brand. Same fit as Primal Zen. Nice and wide. Lovely soft leather with no break-in period needed. Quality is as good as Ecco, but Lems have much wider toe box.

Lems - Kourt - Whiteout (Unisex)

Kristi D.

The Lems sizing chart is useless. I'm 2 sizes different to what that says, but great shoes nevertheless with the right size. I love everything about them, walking 5-8kms per day in them for the last 2 weeks.

Lems - Primal Zen - Night Sky (Unisex)

Martyn H.

The socks are comfortable and reasonably easy to get on depending on the condition of your toes. My little toes are tucking under the adjacent so takes a little work. I can also feel there is some resistance against the tuck when wearing standard shoes. Make sure to keep your toe nails smooth to reduce chance of fabric ripping when wiggling toes in to place

Bprimal Performance Five-Toe Socks - Regular Weight - No-Show - Black

Karen M.

My mum bought a couple of pairs of these and I love them, so bought a couple more. Definitely recommend. I am a size 7 and the small fits perfectly.

Bprimal Everyday Five-Toe Socks - Mini-Crew - Regular Weight - Black

Adrienne M.

These are the first pair of Lems I have bought. Won’t be the last! They are absolutely excellent- comfortable, stylish and practical for me at work. This pair of boots needed no wearing in - they were comfortable as soon as I tried them on. I am so impressed with them. Very happy customer!

Lems - Chelsea Boot Waterproof - Obsidian (Unisex)

Tegan D.

These are easily the most comfortable shoes I have ever had! The sizing info is spot on, the soles and ankle supports are immediately comfortable with no need to "wear in" which is amazing. Waterproof as well so perfect for whatever adventure you are planning!

Lems - Waterproof Boulder Boot Summit - Coal (Unisex)

Alexis K.

Love these, jumped straight in and no need to break them in they feel great. Lightweight and comfortable. I was surprised by how narrow they are for what size I got. They fit me fine but I have to wear the laces pretty loose which means they aren’t long enough to tie up properly. Easy fix, new laces, but I’d consider going a half size up if you have fat feet. I’m not sure if I’m right, but I think the half size in shoes is just a wider version, not a longer version. Good service, got to me...

Lems - Outlander Waterproof - Evergreen (Unisex)

Lynn R.

This is my first pair of Lems shoes and I wasn't sure of the American sizing. The size 10 boulder boot is quite large and wide for me. However, I went on my first trek today with them and they were super light, comfy and grippy enough. On the improvement side of things, I would prefer an all leather lining which would be more hard wearing.

Lems - Boulder Boot - Russet (Leather) (Unisex)

Kyra C.

So love these shoes, very comfortable and fairly easy to put on or just walk in with the heel under foot !! Would be great if they came in darker colours too :)

Lems - Laguna - Seafoam (Womens)

Andrew B.

I usually take a size 12 or 12.5 u.s depending on the brand. I went with a 12.5 for these as most people rate them as fitting small, and they fit perfectly. I found other barefoot shoes too hard on my feet and I developed painful corns. The little bit of cushion in these makes all the difference.

Lems - Primal Zen - Asphalt (Unisex)

Peter B.

Very impressed. I followed the advice to get a slightly bigger size than I normally buy. Perfect. Feet feel comfortable and balanced. I have my eye on 2 other styles and now I feel I can trust their sizing info I'll get along and order them.

Lems - Chelsea Boot Waterproof - Espresso (Unisex)

Jeff L.

Ridiculously comfortable out of the box. Fit was perfect. Used the online size assist (photo & A4 paper method) to confirm what I thought would be my size and turned out to be very accurate. Great looking boots and can't wait to see how tbey are when "worn in". Couldn't be happier 👍

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

Jo S.

These are THE most comfortable boots! I often put them to quickly go outside and then find I just keep them on once inside as they are as comfortable as my UGG boots. Easy to get on and off. Super soft inner sole, love the wide toebox, great ankle support. Other recommendations say to size up which I did at first and then had to exchange back to my regular size (amazing exchange policy). Highly recommend!

Lems - Chelsea Boot Waterproof - Espresso (Unisex)

Shirley R.

Great shoes, have been putting off buying online because I still prefer to try on. However these shoes are very comfortable. I am a casual crossfitter and B grade basketballer and these shoes have suited both activities. For my next shoe I would go up a size as my big toe is close to the edge of the shoe. This does not seem to affect my toes however so I have kept them. My previous barefoot style shoes (not this brand) were a tad too big and that was a more noticeable issue.

Lems - Primal 2 - Black (Unisex)

Jacinta M.

I was looking for an alternative to Rossi/Blundstones with more space for toes. These fit the brief. They have been comfortable from the moment I put them on and fit my low (off the shelf) orthotics. I don't know how they will wear with time, but for comfort I recommend them.

Lems - Chelsea Boot Waterproof - Espresso (Unisex)

Janine H.

Absolutely love these boots. So comfortable and perfect for the upcoming winter. I do need to wear longer socks with them as they are a looser fit around the ankles and tend to chafe my legs. apart from that, i have no issues with them and highly recommend

Lems - Chelsea Boot Waterproof - Espresso (Unisex)

Steve P.

These are super comfy, light, flexible and seem to be well made. Having only had them for a short time I can only speculate. I repair appliances and wear these at work so they are going to get wet, rubbed on concrete on their sides, and generally mistreated....if I get a year out of these I'll be well stoked! So far so good 😄

Lems - Primal 3 - Black (Unisex)

Craig P.

I spent a great deal of time researching what would be the best fit for me. I have been wearing vibram five finger for years and wanted a sandal that would fit me like a glove and be tough enough to handle the challenges. The Shama Maximus ultra grip feels great so far. I’ve only had them for a few days. With a vibram sole I expect longevity and great grip. Happy to use these sandals in all situations

Shamma - Maximus - Ultragrip (Unisex)

Natasha W.

Excellent prompt service. Item as described. Fits like a glove, so comfortable. This is my 3rd pair of barefoot shoes. Can't go back to wearing regular shoes now. First time purchase from you, will buy again. Thanks

Vivobarefoot Primus Lite Knit (Womens) - Obsidian

Toni E.

Such a lovely well made boot. Much studier than I imagined. I find the right ankle gets rubbed by the gusset though I think my ankle is the issue. Socks sort that out and I imagine it will stretch. My daughters gave me a voucher so waiting for the Sydney store to open. Would highly recommend. :)

Lems - Chelsea Boot Waterproof - Obsidian (Unisex)

Kevin R.

Received these shoes quicker than I thought which was great.They are very comfortable a great fit going up another size as suggested 10.5 to 11.5 perfect just love the slip on feature they appear to be well made not that I am any expert .I would recommend these to any one who is after a shoe with a wide toe box and zero drop that you can pull on in a couple of seconds

Lems - Drifter - Abyss (Unisex)

Marl D.

Love these boots. I haven't had the chance to try out their waterproofness yet but they are super comfy and seem very well made. I went up half a size as I like a slightly looser fit. They seem true to size.

Lems - Waterproof Boulder Boot Summit - Coal (Unisex)

Martin H.

A little narrower than expected. I've been barefoot for a few years and my feet have spread. These shoes are not as wide as expected but with inner soles removed, there is just enough room for my feet. Grip is fantastic, very comfortable. Sizing is on the small side so 42 is snug but still fine for me.

Freet - Feldom - Black/Grey (Unisex)

Derek S.

My shoes are outlasting my insoles, so new ones are a plus! Had to go half a size above what I ordered in shoes as the size I needed was out of stock, but found that these fitted in just fine with a little jiggling and careful placement. Back to super comfy again!

Bernardine T.

Ordered through Gail on the phone Gail is very helpful and made everything smooth and easy also her recommendation of size was spot on. Bprimal socks are excellent but just wish there was a slightly thicker version as well.

Bprimal Everyday Five-Toe Socks - No-Show - Regular Weight - Black

Saskia S.

Extremely comfortable right from the get go! First time a pair of shoes has fit my foot instead of me trying to fit my foot into a pair of shoes. Absolutely love the Lems Primal 3! Also appreciate the service that Bprimal offers - US imports costs are extremely expensive and it worked out cheaper to purchase via Bprimal rather than from Lems directly and having to pay for shipping and taxes.

Lems - Primal 3 - Olive (Unisex)

Lucy P.

Great shoes! Like all the other lems I’ve owned they’re super comfy, but these also have the extra cushioning I needed for high impact workouts while still being a minimal shoe. My one gripe with Lems shoes is that the laces always come undone regularly during the day no matter how well I tie them (could just be a me issue, but the material is slipperier than laces on other shoes I’ve come across and I haven’t had this problem with them). Quick fix is to replace the laces with gripper ones, thi...

Lems - Primal Zen - Night Sky (Unisex)

Thomas P.

Great first pair of zero drop shoes. A word of caution, the sizes run a little small compared to normal shoes for to the different shaped toe box. I recommend going at least a half size larger. Unfortunately I first wore mine to work and could not exchange them for a slightly larger pair.

Lems - Primal Zen - Asphalt (Unisex)

Michelle L.

My first experience of toe socks for hiking and I love them. So much more movement and an increased feeling of stability. Not firm on my foot but not too large to be uncomfortable. I know what I’ll be asking for on my birthday!

Bprimal Performance Five-Toe Socks - Womens - Regular Weight - Mini-Crew - Pink/Navy

Jazz E.

Bprimal said these Lems Primsl 3 were on the small side so I went a ½ size US up and the fit is perfect. I’ve never worn barefoot shoes before so was careful not to overdo it (I’m 67), but I love the feeling of earth I’m standing on and how my feet are adapting to the surfaces as I move. They are really comfortable, I look forward to putting them on every morning.

Lems - Primal 3 - Black (Unisex)

David K.

1st time buyer of Lems and I am very impressed so far. I suffer from CMT and as I get older the importance of 'feel' for the ground cannot be overstated to assist with balance. These new boots provide that and in turn I am a lot more stable when walking on uneven ground. Thanks Lems

Lems - Boulder Boot Grip WP - Dakota (Unisex)

Mark W.

The boots were quite expensive and I was apprehensive about the size as the system recommended a size much larger than my regular shoe size. However the boots are a perfect fit and the level of comfort and quality exceeded my expectations.

Lems - Boulder Boot Mid Leather - Umber

Michael C.

I love these! They look even better than they do on the photos. I will be buying more Lems in the future. Definitely use the sizing tool, it measured my foot size for these shoes perfectly.

Lems - Kourt - Whiteout (Unisex)

Andrew W.

A regular day at work for me is >10km of trekking through steep terrain, and these boots are even more comfortable than I'd hoped. I was nervous about buying shoes online for the first time, but the fit was perfect.

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

Karen P.

Love them! I had admired my farriers boots when trimming my horses and she gave me the details. I loved the size guide that made me confident enough to order my first pair of footwear bought on-line. So glad I did. They arrive in good time, well packaged and the fit perfectly and are next level comfortable. A happy customer here !
