These suede Chillums are my fourth pair of Lems. I love them. Lems are now the only shoes I wear and I have a pair for every occasion. I started with a pair of Nine-2-Fives, and went a half size larger than my usual US size. But unfortunately, though wearable and fine, they are a little snug and I wish I had of gone a full size larger. With every Lems afterwards I went a full size larger than what I used to buy in other brands. I also have a pair of suede Chukkas (no longer available), Primal Pu...

Ordered these to wear bushwalking as an alternative to hiking boots. I ordered two sizes to try, which I’m grateful for as the suggested size was far too small - I sized up half a size from the suggested size and probably could have sized up a full size and been happy. I’m not an experienced barefoot shoe wearer and I blister easily, so I appreciate the extra cushioning in these shoes. They are very comfortable, I wore them for a 10km walk straight out of the box with no issues.

These shoes are so good! My daughter loves them. They are so easy for her to put on, they look cute, and they are super comfy. There is plenty of room for growth, and they are perfect for developing feed, complete with wide toe box, allowing her enough space. Really good value for money!

Stepping into these Lems Drifter shoes feels like a secret handshake with the ground. It's like my feet are having a wild, barefoot rave party while the shoes provide just the right amount of protection. They're so light, I suspect my feet might learn to levitate! If you want to break free from the shoe matrix and let your feet boogie, these are the kicks for you!

Absolutely love the shoes, the comfort, style and colour! I was after a pair of on/off road boots so I did not wear out my trail shoes. Also my feet are so much wider these days (purposefully through stretching and barefoot shoes) so all my standard shoes are now obsolete. (Converse, ouch! Even my asics feel tight and too much like walking on stilts.) I fluctuate between a size 38 and 39, and I wanted to be able to wear thick socks for a cold climate. Even with thick wool socks the 39 were t...

Absolutely love these! I’ve already noticed a difference in my feet returning to their natural shape, and they’re so much comfier than my normal shoes. My only complaint is they run small and I was unable to return them. I was able to stretch them and break them in just enough but I’ll definitely get a size up next time.

Really happy with these shoes for hiking, as they have better grip soles than the Primal 2. Only worn them 3 times so far, but very comfortable & light. I had to exchange the first size 10 pair I ordered, as too big. In the Primal 2 I take 8.5, but took the advice to size up. The size 9.5 is good for me.

First ever pair of bprimal shoes, I am sure that I will be buying more. So comfortable that I did not want to take them off at night :-). Great for work and casual stroll.

Most comfortable shoes I've ever had since the original minimus new Ballance that don't exist anymore. Not as low and minimal but very natural comfortable fit all the same. Definitely recommend buying this shoe.

Most comfortable barefoot trail shoes I've tried. No wearing in required. A much better fit that the curvy-toe-box Vivo trail shoes. I walked in perfect comfort for over 10 kms the first time I wore these shoes without developing blisters or sore feet. Very impressed.

These are a very nice shoe. Excellent quality and fit. I'm usually a US9 and these are spot on. Very light and minimal but still strong. Perfect for warmer weather. Only shoe I like to wear without socks.

I never leave reviews because as a mum of a toddler and baby I just don’t have the time but honestly - these are so so great! I initially ordered the white pair but they were a bit too big and the exchange process was so easy. I decided since these would be worn at daycare every day to get the navy ones so they’re more water proof and gross food-spill proof. My little one LOVES them! And he only previously would ever want to wear crocs so this is saying a lot. I’m so relieved knowing my toddler’...

These are excellent shoes. So comfortable for work all day and walking. I think this is my fourth pair of bprimals. I wear them everywhere and have had to replace them a few times over the years. I love the colour of these though, I have always had the black ones but i get a lot of compliments on the olive!

Super comfy shoes! I normally get blisters for weeks whilst wearing in new shoes but these are refreshingly spacious around the toes and snug on the heels making blisters a thing of the past! I’m already looking at adding more shoe styles to my repertoire ♥️

The service is the main thing I love. Shoe was not the correct size and it was easy to organise a return. Unfortunately the return had the incorrect shoe in the box. But not long after my email a new shoe has been shipped. Very happy with the service.

I love these shoes! I’ve tried different bands, but not as good. I’ve had multiple pairs of these. I usually run 8-15km, 2-3 times a week, and more if training for an event. My last pair did nearly 900km before the sole wore through on outside of my feet (I overpronate). I wear them as casuals also. Beware though, don’t trail run in them, especially if rocky, the soles are thin.

I am so happy with these boots! I bought a womens US10 when I'm usually a 9-9.5 and they are roomy, I might have been ok in a 9.5. The leather wore in really quickly, and they are so light. The colour is great, and they don't have that clown like shape of some barefoot boots, they blend in and look like a lightweight version of regular work boots. I have worn them everyday since they arrived, on the farm, into town and walking on gravel tracks. I'm looking forward to seeing how long they last, b...

I purchased these basically to wear to work. Last week we travelled interstate and I practically lived in them. They were comfortable and I wore them around Sydney for several days. It was great to have a shoe I could slip on and off and be comfortable in. I followed the instructions for measuring my feet and had no problem getting the correct size.

I absolutely love my new Lems leather Kourt shoe. They are my new "going out shoes'. Since i started wearing Lems shoe a few years back, I find it difficult to wear any other shoe. They are so comfortable, supportive and help with my balance. Equally as comfortable as my Lems Primal and Lems boots. I couldnt be happier and plan to buy the white version next.

I bought 3 different pairs for my husband, He never liked toe socks, but has toe problems. (I do already wear toe-socks) These (Outdoor) came out the best, then the 'trail' and last the 'every-day', (but they were half crew length) My husband told me that they where tight around the ankles and the size large just fitted. But that could be because they are new.

These are my first pair of "minimalist" shoes, and I love them! I read reviews and followed the advice of ordering a size bigger than usual. This was great advice. I am usually WUS8.5, but ordered size WUS9 and they're a perfect fit. The Chelsea boots are so comfortable. It's raining a lot in Sydney at the moment, so great that they're waterproof. My boots will be getting plenty of wear!

Great running shoe and a transition shoe. I appreciate the zero drop and lightness of the shoe when I run. My knee pain , shin splint and back problem have not occurred since I started running this transition shoes. Love it that I bought another pair for rotation.

These are the first shoes that I haven't wanted to rip off after wearing them out. They are so comfortable. The leather is getting softer and my toe problems are improving. Will be looking for another pair soon. My daughter has been encouraging me to try these shoes for a long time. Am really happy with them and also fast delivery Thanks Astrida

Great boot. Excellent quality and finish. I ordered too large to begin with but found the perfect fit in a 1/2 size down on the fitting chart. I should get plenty of life out of these bad boys. Water off a ducks back with these boots as well. My feet kept dry on a wet afternoon hike. Stoked.

After a false start with the wrong size (selected by me) , excellent advice from Gaelle re correct size and model, wore my first minimalist shoes, LEMS Primal Zen, all day today - so comfortable and feet feel great. Will be looking for more options in the future, thanks

My Lems Outlander Waterproof boots were comfortable right out of the box. I love the wide toe box giving my toes room to spread. They are light, comfortable to walk in and look great. Highly recommend.

I erred on the side of caution and ordered a whole size up and I shouldn’t have- they would be very true to size. Despite this- these are the most comfortable boot I have ever worn. I’m on my feet all day and these are easy to wear, comfortable and can handle any outdoor condition which I love.

My first barefoot shoe and I’m in love. Perfect, comfortable everyday shoe. Finally I have foot freedom and less foot pain! I will be buying more in other colours. The BPrimal team were prompt with answering all questions I had re-sizing which was reassuring- thank you!

I purchased these shoes as the next step in my transition to minimalist shoes. I originally had a pair of Altra Escalante's for daily wear and gym. Since purchasing the Primal Zen i haven't had any issues with less cushioning. They are comfortable, have a wide toe box and have plenty of adjustment for low volume feet. The design is very robust and the mesh allows plenty of breathability in the gym or out walking.

I was waiting for these boots to restock for quite some time, well worth the wait. I'm really happy with them. I've made the switch to barefoot about 6months ago and my boots are the last pair of shoes I needed to replace. I went from Blundstones to these and I could never ever look back. Great waterproof so far, open toe box is amazing, feels like the amount of space in the toe box of Birkenstocks. Although they are physically much sleeker than birkies. They are light and when walking on rocks ...

I love these Poppy III shoes. They are so comfortable and accommodate my large bunion and advanced osteoarthritic feet. It is the first pair of dress shoes that feel so lovely to wear. The assistance I received from the online consultants regarding sizing was extremely helpful. I went up a size & purchased EU38

I already have several pairs of Lems shoes and they are all great. I have been wearing this latest pair, Outlander waterproof blue steel for the past week and they have lived up to my expectations. Like all Lems shoes, they feel so comfortable even from brand new, and I love the way my toes can spread out in the wide toe box. I work at an Outdoor School so spend most of my work hours trudging hills, in the forest and generally traversing difficult and sometimes slippery terrain. The grip on the...

First time wearing barefoot shoes and I kept my old supported runners in case I needed a long transition but after only a week, I wont ever go back to conventional running shoes! Barefoot shoes are life!

First pair of barefoot shoes and will not be my last! I found the size to be true to what I wear in 'regular' shoes. I have been walking around on many different surfaces and have been very happy.

Sarah M.

There's something really weird about the sizing of this style. At first i bought a size 10, i'm usually a women's 9.5 AU or a 41 EU and your sizing system suggested i get a 9.5 but because this style says to size up, i went for a 10. They arrived in good time but were WAY small, toes squished at the end. So I contacted the shop, sent a pic of my feet on the inlay and they suggested i order an 11. I said are you sure? Not just another half size? And she said definitely go for an 11. Seems crazy t...

These are the most comfortable pair of walking shoes I have ever owned. I have been wearing lems for 6 months & after many years of extremely painful feet im basically pain free. Definitely continue to buy lems shoes/boots. Thank you!

These shoes are so lightweight it is like not wearing any at all! Love them. Perfect for my wide foot as I have struggled to find a comfortable pair of casual shoes. So happy to have found Bprimal. My hubby is now keen to get some too. Vicky

Braden C.

Unfortunately I did not read the sizing guide. I wore these for a day and thought by the end of the day that these aren't that wide or roomy. Then went back on the bprimal website to look at ordering a bigger size only to find the advice to order 1/2 to a full size up. Dammit! Ah well. Definitely heed this advice. I can't return them now, so I'll have to sell them privately. Don't be me.
