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. The...

Absolutely amazing shoes. This is my second pair of Lems Nine2Five's. I now have both the brown and black. So comfortable and good for my feet, plus they look great. Recommended!!!

Super comfortable shoes, leather around the ankle is a bit stiff the first wear but not an issue for long! I used the size guide and ended up with shoes too big but Gaelle in customer service was really helpful and quick in answering my emails and even refunded the cost of the shipping for the second pair.

I usually wear size 5 so I was slightly worried that 36.5 might be big on my feet but they are perfect. They are my everyday work shoes - very comfortable and great for your feet comparing to normal pointy shoes. This is my second Bprimal pair. Highly recommended!

These are my first barefoot/wide-toe box shoes and I'm converted! I love them, the quality is good, they're light, they have enough sole that I don't feel every pebble on the path and I'm comfortable all day.

A pair of these insoles came with my Mudee boots. After fracturing a bone in my foot I found these more comfortable than the thinner insoles in my other Freet shoes- so I ordered a couple of pairs to replace the thinner insoles. I’m sure that they will be great.

It’s my go-to shoe! Extremely comfortable and worth every dollar. These are an investment for your foot health. You feel grounded and the foot shape will make your toes splay. I wear them everyday and have got the whole family a pair too! Well done Vivobarefoot

This was my first experience of wearing barefoot shoes and I'm totally sold! Love the fit and ease with which my whole foot fits without being rubbed anywhere. I'd highly recommend this shoe and the superb customer service at BPrimal.

I love Lems shoes and have been wearing them for 4 years now, however every time I buy a new style I'm always worried as the sizing is so odd. I have previously had this shoe in the Night Ninja colouring in a W11 (huge as I'm around a 9.5-10) but they fitted perfectly. This colour way I bought in a W10.5 and they are a little big, if I wasn't in NZ I would have returned for a W10. They're also quite a different shoe as the toe box is more angular so feels bigger. However as usual I love my Le...

These are beautifully balanced lightweight trainers that feel great on and like you can do anything in them. I am an altra lone peak fan normally but wanted something a bit different and these are awesome. I wish I’d worn shoes like this my whole life. I always buy shoes 1 size up these days and glad I did again with these as I like plenty of wriggle room for my toes. 5stars!

Lems - Primal Zen - Asphalt (Unisex)

Katrina C.

These shoes are without question the most comfortable shoes I've ever worn. From the first moment I put them on I knew my feet would be happy. They are super light, the fit is perfect and I can walk and walk and walk without sore feet. I highly recommend them to anyone who is thinking about them.

Lems - Primal 2 - Slate (Unisex)

Rashidah S.

Ordered a size up as advised and they fit so nicely on my feet. As someone relatively new to the world of zero drop, less padded natural foot shaped shoes I have to go easy on my feet while I'm running with them on but am definitely loving the feel of them! My toes are smiling and my bunions are not aggravated in these.

Freet - Vibe - Black (Unisex)

Maura W.

I love these boots. So very comfortable and light. They mould to my feet even though they are zero drop. I needed work / paddock boots that were also comfortable and good for my feet and these are the only ones I've been able to find that fit the bill

Lems - Chelsea Boot Waterproof - Espresso (Unisex)

Louise K.

A little hiccup because I ordered the wrong size but the free exchange made that very easy to sort out. I love these shoes, they flex in the right place and feel lovely to walk in. I can feel air circulating around my toes and are perfect for wearing my new Injinji toe socks. I am wearing these shoes all the time and left my orthotics behind. With my toes free to spread out I feel better balanced and less pain and difficulty walking than with orthotics in my old walking boots. I will buy more sh...

Haan H.

I am a 43EU but for these ones I should have ordered the next size up. It's a perfect fit meaning that when it's hot my feet feel like they are slightly cramped in there. Other than that it is awesome. I am yet to take them to test out the waterproof-ness.

Finally i tried this shoes, fit from the first try. Nice design with easy slip on. A bit roomy on the top, but you can change the shoe lace if you want (it comes with traditional shoe lace in the box). I had freet pace, and compare to pace i feel you can move more free in tanga, probably because the elastic ankle in tanga. Haven't try this for running (I'm not a runner, but I was running 14km in pace, and it was fine). For walking, it's totally fine, no issue at all. I wear the same size in tan...

The Freet brand have maintained the spacious toe box which other reputable brands have started to shrink, possibly just for aesthetics. These Freets fit my slim foot really well without needing to tighten the laces to their limit. The fabric is recycled plastic and I only hope it lasts well.

Thanks guys, this has been a great experience. Nimble Toes arrived in less than 2 days. The "What is my size" app did its job as when I put on the 10.5's it recommended, it felt like a shoemaker had made that shoe exactly for my foot. My toes and feet are getting better sensation, even the muscles on top of my feet. This is great for me as I've had many injuries or surgeries in both ankles/knees/hips and have sensory issues especially in my legs and am still limited to walking. Also the lower...

Bought a pair for myself and I love them so much I have bought a pair for Mum for Christmas. My toes LOVE being able to spread out, it’s so good for balance, and my shins and calf muscles love the zero drop!

I bought these as a cold weather boot for one bag travelling and they do the job perfectly. Three weeks in mid-west USA in December/January with temps down to -10C with ice and snow on the ground and occasional wet weather. They were the only footwear I needed and went with all my clothes. I wore them with thin socks on the plane and merino ski socks outside in the cold and they were very comfortable. US security requires removal of shoes so being able to slip them on and off easily was great. I...

After research about improving balance, I purchased these shoes and have found them to significantly improve my balance - took a little time for the body to adjust it's mechanics to the zero fall. After a month they are doing a superb job and as a wonderful 'extra', back pain I have lived with for a long while has disappeared.!

Lems - Primal 2 - Eclipse (Unisex)

Matt H.

Comfortable straight off the mark. Less flexible than a barefoot shoe. More flexible than a traditional hiking shoe. Had no issues in the 6 months of owning mine. Great boot.

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

Jake A.

I bought these for my Mum, according to the chart she was a 10.5 , they were too big so we exchanged for her regular size which is a 9. The 9 is a bit squishy but doable , if it wasn’t for the 2week turnaround she would have exchanged again for a 9.5….overall they look great & are very comfortable.

Alicja G.

I didn't expect them to be so comfortable, I thought, that I would actually feel the ground. They feel very soft and kind of cushiony inside. I love the space for my toes and over all quality. They are definitely my favorite shoes now.

Lems - Chelsea Boot Waterproof - Espresso (Unisex)

Sarah S.

I wore my Lems several days straight after they arrived. What a fabulous shoe! They are comfortable with thick or thin socks (happy about this!!) and the wide toe box is pure joy.

Lems - Primal 2 - Black (Unisex)

Gareth E.

Excellent boots. Comfortable out of the box. I really enjoy wearing them. I’m glad I took the time to read all the reviews with regards to sizing. These run small. I wear US11.5 for Nike and Adidas. I went for US12.5 for these boots.

Lems - Waterproof Boulder Boot - Weathered Umber (Unisex)

Leah P.

I am really happy with these shoes, they are exceptionally comfortable, I have oddly wide feet, they're 24.3cm long, but 12cm wide across the toes, I got the size 40, and I wore them all day, they're a little small around my toes, but so much better than regular shoes. I think they should stretch out enough to be a perfect fit eventually, and it was 36°celsius here today, and my feet stayed completely fresh and dry which I was shocked by, I definitely recommend them if you're thinking about pur...

I broke my large toe decades ago. The titanium screw holding my toe together has had the bone grow over the top. This is painful with pressure and gotten worse over recent years. This shoe is the first time I've been able to go throughout the day with zero pain. I can distribute the weight of my foot across all my toes and don't have pressure on my big toe. I will be interested to see how they fair for quality since I normally buy leather, stitched soled footwear. They are super light, incredibl...

An excellent shoe- I bought them for a trip to Asia. They are comfortable for lots of walking and look classy enough as a good casual shoe. They fit my wife feet comfortably - and I would buy these again.

Lems - Chillum - Spruce (Unisex)

Shoes are well build, still getting use to barefoot shoes. Wearing them incrimentaly as advised to get use to them. Closure of shoes around my ankles are still abit hard but have no dought to will wear in.

Lems - Chukka Canvas - Blackout (Unisex)

Natasha P.

I love these boots. Love the peek of tartan at the top, love the style, love the comfort, love them! These were almost perfect straight out of the box, the only issue was that the heel cap rubbed a little. I just had to “crack” them (press the cap a few times when they were off my feet) and then they were perfect. I also skip the top eyelets as having the laces done up all the way put pressure around my ankles/lower calves.

Lems - Boulder Boot - Black (Unisex)

Natasha P.

I bought these before going on a trip to Austria and Switzerland but didn’t get a chance to break them in beforehand. My first time wearing these I got a small blister on my right pinky toe but that was on a 36 degree, humid day where we walked over 16000 steps, so it’s really my fault for not wearing them in properly. Since that first day, they’ve been amazing - no blisters or sore spots, comfortable to wear all day, and they look great with anything I’ve worn. They’ve also held up very well wa...

Lems - Kourt - Whiteout (Unisex)

Natasha P.

Perfect under tennis style shoes - they stay put, feel comfortable, and the back comes up high enough to protect against rubbing/blisters but not too high as to be obvious.

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

Natasha P.

Bought these to wear on holiday with my new barefoot shoes. I hadn’t worn toe socks before so was a bit uncertain about wearing them for the first time whilst overseas and walking long distances but they’ve been great. They’ve stayed in place, I don’t even feel like I’m wearing anything between my toes and best of all, my toes don’t feel cramped or pressured like with standard socks. They’ve been perfect with my Lems Kourt shoes.

Pamela O.

Love my new Lems Chelsea Boots - super comfortable and no break-in period. They’ve become my everyday shoe for winter - they keep my feet dry and warm. And they look good enough that I can wear them into the office. Bought the same size as my Lems Chillums and could have gone down half a size as these are a little wide around the middle of my foot and heel when I wear thin socks. However, they fit well with thick socks. Highly recommend!

Marg C.

I did try another smaller size (after advice) but knew as soon as I tried them that they were too small. It took a while to get my next size up sent, but now I am happy. Comfortable and plenty of toe space. ☺️

Lems - Primal 2 - Black (Unisex)

Amr M.

Wide fitting and super comfortable. Outdoor walking as well as indoor. Used their suggested waterproofing nix wax and have no problems in day to day beach side walking. Worth it.

Madeline M.

I got these shoes on the recommendation of my podiatrist - I have wide feet and needed a shoe with a square toe box to help minimise the progression of bunions. These are so comfortable. It’s the first time my toes haven’t felt squished into a shoe - I didn’t even realise how uncomfortable my other ‘podiatrist designed’ brand shoes were until I tried the Lems. They look great and work well with work/casual outfits. They’re nice quality.

Lems - Kourt - Whiteout (Unisex)

Ben J.

Have I worn any other shoes since I received these (very promptly) in the mail? No, I don't think I have. I just keep wearing them, and they just keep being comfortable and I just keep having dry feet.

I’ve just returned from a visit to the outback of the Northern Territory of Aust , the boots were perfect in the hot dusty desert , and for climbing around water holes . I was amazed how the wet boots did not slip on the rocky out crops around the water holes . The boots performed so well in the 38 cel heat . After a hot day on the trail my feet were not sore at all. Great Boots !
