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. ...

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.

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.

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!

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.

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...

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.

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...

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.

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...

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

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.

- 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.

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. 😊

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.

Richard S.
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 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.

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...

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.

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.

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.

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)
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.

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.

I absolutely ADORE these boots. I wore them for 14 days straight on my trip to Nepal and 10 days doing the Annapurna base camp trek. I took these on packed snow and ice, in -15 degree temps, up thousands of stairs, hot days and cold days. These boots never once failed me. They were comfortable and reliable through and through. Walking through puddles and waddling through snow, my feet were warm and dry. They look so stylish and the extra grip in the summit version is very much welcome for the i...

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.

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.

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.

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.

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...
