Bprimal Footwear Reviews

Christy Anna W.

Bought these for my kids who have wider feet and constantly experiencing problems with ingrown toenails. Hoping the combination of these socks and shoes with wider toe box will help. Bonus is that they love wearing them and find them very comfortable.

I love these shoes. I’ve been wearing orthotics for decades but have recently decided to work on strengthening and mobilising my feet and ankles and transitioning to barefoot shoes. I wore them around the house for a couple of days and have done 10,000 happy steps in them today and am feeling great! I’m in my 70’s so I reckon these would be good for just about anyone.

As per the advice on your website, I got one full size bigger and they are perfect. As I have 3 toes all the same size I have no problem with the fit. And they are so comfortable to wear no matter what I’m doing. My third pair of Lems and they won’t be my last. Great service and delivery to. Thanks Bprimal.

I initially had a half size too big but exchanging was easy and I'd paid for the size return guarantee. The size guide said "stand with the back of your bare foot BARELY touching the wall". Perhaps I took this too literally. Anyway, I loved the open toe box from the moment I first put them on. So comfortable for everyday wear. I tried them for a 3km jog, mostly on pavement, and didn't particularly like it. Think I'll stick to jogging in shoes with padding for now but I might try again sometime. ...

Lems - Primal Zen - Asphalt (Unisex)

Janine G.

Marvellous sturdy, well made shoe, very comfortable. These are a little narrower than my other barefoot shoes but are still very comfortable. Thicker sole means more cushioning for lots of walking on hard surfaces. Prior to barefoot shoes I wore a 41.5. Barefoot shoes I typically wear a 43 as I like them roomy. These I bought in 43 and is excellent size. Highly recommend, will definitely purchase again as needed.

Lems - Nine2Five - Black (Unisex)

Ella W.

Great option with plenty of time space. My son’s first reaction was “oh.. these are comfortable” and he’s enjoyed them since. Sizing chart was very helpful, as it is a size larger than he usually would have.

Bree M.

These are super comfy to wear! I haven’t done any significant hikes yet but can imagine they’ll be great. They’ve got just enough support and plenty of protection, But I still feel the ground under me somewhat which is great. I followed the size guide on here which suggested to size up and they’re perfect!

Lems - Boulder Boot Grip WP - Dakota (Unisex)

Andrew R.

Bought these shoes because they have vibram soles (as all other brands that I have used just wear out too quickly. So we will see) and they are just so so good. They are very comfortable. I took the insert out as I bought a half or full size too small for my feet. However, they are still comfortable.

Julia Z.

Bprimal has great customer service and Lems shoes are fantastic for zero drop, flexible and wide toebox. They are well priced and look less "Ronald McDonald" than other brands! Unfortunately these shoes are discontinued but I love them for hiking as my Primal 2 shoes have a thinner sole and gave me sore feet. If Lems were still making these shoes I would ask them for better fabric in the lining as it wears down quickly around the heel. These shoes have a mesh upper which is great on a warm d...

These are the second pair of toe spacers that I've bought from Bprimal. My left foot has a bunion, and I've been wearing a toe-spacer (a size bigger with a sock over the top) to bed almost every night for about 3 years. I wear the sock because I'd lose the toe-spacer over the night. These smaller ones stay on. If I don't wear them, I can barely walk; my knee and whole leg seem to be affected. They are expensive, but they last for a couple of years, and it's worth it not to have the painful foot ...

Bought the size 12 to find they were a little bit small and needed the 12.5. The process to change size was very easy and the shoes were delivered back to me in the correct size with no fuss and as quickly as possible.

Lems - Mesa - Safari - Mens

Sally S.

I love my Lems Boulder Boots. So so so comfortable and heaps of room for my toes to spread out and they look great. And their waterproof to. I got a half size larger than I normally would and I’m happy I did because they are harder on top than my lems runners. Just gave me a little more wriggle room. Thanks bprimal I love what you do.

Martin M.

This is my 2nd time bought the shoes from Bprimal, the first one was Freet pace and after 18 months I'm looking different colour that i can use interchangeable with my freet (which i can still use) I went with half-size lower than what suggested (8 rather than 8.5), and this size is the same with the freet. It's fit perfectly, i was expecting it will be too snug, bit it doesn't. I like the color, the material and especially it's really comfortable from the first go. I found this shoes make me...

Been having a look through barefoot boots for over 2 years now. Finally pulled the trigger. Worth the wait. Amazing boots with a wide tow box that I've been looking for!

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

Tiina M.

Love these shoes! Very comfortable, well made and the black and white look is stylish. They are just a touch on the small side; they fit my feet fine but I might need to go up half a size to accommodate thicker socks. I wish Joe Nimble would restore dress shoes to their range as their shoes are so well made.

Tiina M.

I bought these as I love mary janes but they are almost impossible to find in barefoot shoes. I am a size 38 - 39: I sized up to 40 for this shoe as per bPrimal's advice and it fits well. The toe box is very wide and roomy, I wish all my shoes had so much room! The sole is super flexible. The quality of the leather and manufacture are good given the price point. These are very suitable as dress shoes so it would be great if they came in more colours or a subtle pattern.

This is my 3rd pair of Lems primal 2 shoes since 2012. I live in them & love them. I've found them to be comfortable, & very durable. Buying from bprimal was easy, great communication & quick delivery. Sizing was spot on. Thanks, I'm a very happy customer.

Lems - Primal 2 - Cloud (Womens)

Josh B.

Was a bit sceptical about the product considering the price but I have to admit the shoes turned out better than I expected! The soles are super durable quality and the most comfortable shoes I've ever worn! I'm reluctant to wear my work boots after a week in these! The first day I wore them to a multi hour fair and had no sore feet after. I also realize now that my feet have actually felt claustrophobic for ages in other boots and shoes. Would definately recommend them!

Lems - Primal Zen - Woodland (Unisex)

Sharon W.

This is my second pair of Lems. I have had a number of barefoot shoes in the last ten years, including another pair of hiking boots. My new Bolder Boots are exceptional! ... super soft and flexible with a generous toe box so I can comfortably wear toe spacers if I choose. Even though the foot bed is deeper than some barefoot shoes, the ground feel is still there and the shoe allows my foot to respond to the terrain I'm walking over. Although I live in a part of Australia that is relatively dry,...

Michael S.

Have purchased these Lems shoes to replace the same ones I have been wearing for over 12 months now and have done a lot of power walking, the inside rear of the original pair has worn through the material at the heel and the rubber soles have just about completely worn off the tread but I find them such a comfortable fit and they suit my feet exactly in the size chosen, thank you bprimal and Lems Shoes. I can highly recommend purchasing from bprimal, the only thing I do not recommend is using th...

My favourite ever pair of boots and I am new to barefoot shoes! They are super comfy, fab look and I am totally in love. AMAZING, personable customer service too. Great company and product. 👍🏼

Lems - Chelsea Boot Waterproof - Espresso (Unisex)

Matthew G.

These are SO stinkin' comfy, they have a lot more padding than other brands like Vivobarefoot but if you're like me and don't want the "full" barefoot feel than these are for you. Wide enough at the toe and zero drop but more thickness to the sole than a similar shoe ie. Vans. One thing I'll say is be careful with the sizing advice being thrown around in the reviews. I'm a man and usually a US 11 and I got tripped up and actually ordered way too big to start (US 12.5) because of the reviews tha...

Lems - Chillum - Spruce (Unisex)

Karen H.

It is always a bit of a risk buying an unknown brand of shoes online but the size was exact. The shoes were immediately comfortable to walk in for hours on their first use. The quality seems good so far too. Thank you!

Lems - Chelsea Boot - Cedar (Unisex)

Karl S.

Def order a size up as they are a small fit. The team at bprimal gave me advice on this and they were right. These are super comfortable. So much so that I bought the same ones in black.

Lems - Primal Zen Suede - Graphite (Unisex)

Marli G.

First time buying footwear over the internet and it was made SO easy with their sizing software - genius! As for the boots they are amazingly comfortable and very durable. Had their first run camping and hiking and cannot fault them. Thank you! 👌😁

Wendy J.

Super happy with my first barefoot shoe purchase. Not knowing what to expect, the whole transaction was easy. Sizing instructions were very helpful and allowed me to pick the correct size. I’m usually a size 8 shoe, so the extra size up is perfect. Very pleased I also chose a customer focused local business for my purchase. 10/10 bprimal. Thank you.

Vivobarefoot Primus Trail III All Weather FG - Obsidian (Womens)

Tim V.

I am very happy with these shoes. They are great. Quality is excellent. They are very well made. Have a wide fit, so toes don’t feel squashed. I am using them as a transition shoe to barefoot shoes ( I originally went all out on barefoot shoes and it was too much when I had long periods of time on hard surfaces - concrete). So these shoes are in rotation and are really helping. Only thing you should know is that, for me, the inner sole made my feet feel a bit restricted - like there was n...

Stephen G.

I had been using bare-foot style trail-runners for recent hikes, but had found them a bit too thin and flexible for long walks. The Lems Primal Pursuit has been an ideal upgrade. The sole is reasonably thick, and this makes them much better for rough/rocky ground. The sole grips very well. The mesh top is vary airy, so your feet don't get too hot; very good for Australian summer hikes. I used the BPrimal sizing guide when I ordered (US 10.5) and found them to fit perfectly. I used these on a 22...

Lems - Primal Pursuit - Canyon (Unisex)

Russel G.

These boulder boots are the most comfortable footwear I have ever worn. I did go up two sizes on what I normally wear, after reading other reviews. This was a good move, they are a perfect fit. Mynormal size would have been way too tight. There is plenty of toe room. I also like how the soles feel the earth as it feels like barefoot,without the pain of a sharp stone or stick etc . Very happy with them. Thanks BPrimal

Just getting used to the Correct toes since receiving them 2 weeks ago. Very comfortable and look forward to Being able to wear them in shoes eventually for gym/ pilates etc

Amanda W.

Really happy with my Freet Richmond boots. I already had a pair of Freet (Flex), I bought the Richmonds in the same size and haven't found them to be too large. Toe box probably isn't as generous as the Flex, but they still feel comfortable. They also look really stylish. I feel like they will be long lasting. Overall I am pleased with my purchase.

I’m loving my new lems. I had a sea change about 3 years ago and walk barefoot on the beach most days. I found that my feet have become wider and longer. In my search for comfortable footwear for the rare occasions I wear shoes I stumbled across bare foot shoes. Really comfortable from the very first wear. Love them.

Lems - Chillum - Blackjack (Unisex)

Annie W.

Love my Lems! This is my first pair of barefoot shoes. I’m wearing them with bprimal toe socks and correct toes. I can definitely feel the difference so have been taking it easy to get my feet used to them, gradually increasing my time of wearing per day. I have intertarsal bursitis and they are making a big difference to helping me get through it. Great shoe, great fit, love them!

Lems - Primal 2 - Slate (Unisex)

Tony B.

I love Lems shoes and have been wearing mainly Lems Primal. They are by far the most comfortable all round barefoot shoe I've worn. My feet love them. Ive only recently porchased the Primal Zen. Haven't given them a serious test run yet, they seem a bit more robust than the Primal so im guessing there'll be a "running in period" but i love the look and feel of them so far and am confident that be just as good as the Primal.

Lems - Primal Zen - Woodland (Unisex)

Stasia S.

My new Favourite shoes are these LEMS! I wear them all the time. I used to search for shoes that were extra wide, but still I got very sore feet, until I found out about the Barefoot movement. I have bought a few different brands, but I am totally in love with LEMS. I currently have two pairs and I have a third pair on back order. I no longer get foot pains. I even got a pair for my mom, who also loves the extra space her toes have to move around. We are both total LEMS fans.

Lems - Chillum - Vanilla (Unisex)

Tony B.

First time wearer of toe socks. Surprised at how different they feel compared to non toe socks, especially combined with Lems shoes. Im a roofing contractor and Lems primal Zen shoes combined with toe socks are light weight and give me maximum feel when walking on roofs all day.

Bprimal Performance Five-Toe Socks - Regular Weight - Mini-Crew - Bondi Blue

Ben M.

Bought these shoes after reading up on the benefits of barefoot-ing and I'm happy to say it was the right choice; they're the only shoes I wear now. I won't lie, they take some getting used to and for the first day or so my feet were "flopping" on to the ground, but now a mid-sole strike is normal to me when running and they feel very comfortable. If you plan on not wearing socks then I'd maybe consider buying one EU size down.

Vivobarefoot Primus Lite III (Mens) - Bright White

Jo C.

- They feel like a hug. For your feet. - Theyre pretty thick, so they dont necessarily feel ‘barefoot’. - Some stitching got kindof loose already after only a week or so. - all the marketing shows the shoes being worn during outdoorsy activities, but they are clearly not made for that. The profile is pretty smooth and meant for everyday wear.

Lems - Boulder Boot - Black (Unisex)

Rebecca E.

These are my go-to sock. I only own toe socks. They are awesome, comfortable and so easy to wear. The price vs quality and durability is equivalent. Thank you. 😊

Courtney B.

These fit true to size for me. I have a narrower foot and these feel like a good fit. I am currently giving them their first good go on the muddy trails of Northern Japan and my feet have stayed dry and comfortable. These are my first go at a barefoot/transition shoe and I am really happy with them. I haven’t liked them as much for walking around on concrete for long periods, but that isn’t what I bought them for and they are very comfortable as a hiking shoe on trails over long distances.
