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.

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...

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.

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 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’ve been wearing Lems Primal 2 for a number of years on the recommendation of my podiatrist. As a 75 year old female who walks her dogs every day, I’m more than happy with them and am also trying out the Primal Zen.

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.

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

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

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.

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.

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!

Lems - Chillum - Blackjack (Unisex)

Emily M.

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.

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 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 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!

Awesome boots, relatively little break in period, great grip, totally waterproof, most comfortable and warm boots ive had and on top of all that they fit with almost everything in my wardrobe

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!

Lems - Primal Zen - White Sand (Unisex)

Maxine M.

After reading the fit guide I ordered half a size bigger than my normal women's US8.5, that is US9. I returned them and ordered US9.5 which work really well, allowing me to wear thicker socks if I want. I am looking forward to wearing these boots on my next walking holiday. The returns procedure is very efficient and any queries are answered promptly.

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.

Love these! I ordered these for work (hospitality) and they’re so cute and comfortable. Love the leather look and the leather style material is a little more structured around the top of my foot that other mesh shoes I have but still has plenty of movement. Delivery was quick and easy

Love these shoes for my 17 month old. He has a wide foot, so these fit really well (followed the size guide, was perfect), and they are really flexible. He walks very confidently in them compared to his previous shoes and they have good grip for running around. Will be getting another pair when he outgrows them as it’s so hard to find wide fitting shoes, so important for growing feet!

I've been meaning to review these for a while. I have bilateral morton nueroma and mild bunions. I was looking for a shoe with a wide toe box so I could wear toe spacers in them. These shoes have absolutely saved me. They are so comfortable and hold my feet in all the right spots. I always opt for these when my neuromas are starting to flare up and they usually stop the pain gettjng worse. I ordered W9.5 which was true to size. Highly recommend trying these!

Karen M.

These boots exceeded my expectations! I was completely impressed, and I’m pretty sure everyone is sick of hearing me bang on about how awesome they are, even after only owning them for a day. I am definitely buying a second pair asap as I pretty much live in boots between work, hiking, and well pretty much everywhere else too, just can’t decided if I get the same colour again or a different colour. I went half a size up, and that was spot one for me. Highly recommend getting your feet into th...

Purchased this little ball mainly just to give the foot massage thing a go. Just getting into ultra light hiking and training up for a big hike in Japan so keeping my feet in good shape at the end of a long day hiking. I've been rolling it around in all directions while standing on it all over the bottom of my feet. giving each foot about 10 minutes. I love this little cork ball, the more i use it the less sensitive it is and it's great for spreading your toes. Highly recommended

Stephen S.

I bought these for a 5 day bushwalk in the Wollemi wilderness. The boots performed beyond expectations on the dry rocky ridges, in the thick scrub that has grown after the fires and subsequent wet years, above all they were fantastic over 3 days of exploring in the creeks. Whether it was hopping from rock to rock, scrambling up boulders or walking on the slippery rocks in the stream I was unable to fault these boots. The soles are grippy and the flexible sole allows you to feel the rocks and the...

Had my eyes o these for some time and finally took advantage of a discount offer. Followed the advice of order a half size larger which I would also recommend. Love the look, feel and comfort.

I have run in these for the last few weeks. I love them. I run in sandals during the summer and as it cools down, I wear toe socks with them but usually wear runners in the really cold weather. Now I will give these a try.

Freet - Flex - Black (Unisex)

Fiona M.

I absolutely love these sandals. I bought them to wear in the backyard/garden in the warmer months. So far they are incredibly comfy, great for doing anything outside in, and look great too. Sometimes, when wet, I do find them a bit slippery on our floorboards.

I bought them for my son and he is very particular when it comes to shoes. They should not restrain in any way. I took the size from his old Topo, but the new ones were too small and had to return it. He is vegan and goes to clothes as well as food. These shoes are vegan made and of great quality. We live interstate and can't go to the shop. I have to rely on shopping online. Would be great to try them on before buying.

Daniel D.

Extremely happy with this purchase so far. Waiting on delivery of some toe socks before I can properly benefit from the wide toe box but the fit is spot on and the shoes look and feel great. Rating of “good” rather than “excellent” for quality is solely based on newness. Very hard to make thorough judgement on quality after only having owned the shoes for a short time. Very happy with them to this point and plan to buy some more when other colours are available in my size.

Sachie S.

These shoes are great! My feet are a little wide and I’ve been looking for shoes that fit and don’t look silly for literally years. These fit the bill. The price is eye watering but I have no regrets. Just note that they’re not kidding about ordering up a size. I’m normally a 8 or 8.5 men’s but for this shoe my size is 9.5.

Michelle P.

I purchased these for my 12 year old son at the beginning of 2023. He has large feet and there weren't really any other options I could find in a mens 12 that were leather (a school requirement) and minimalist. As pictured, the top of the leather did wear off within 2 weeks in some places (probably due to sitting on concrete). However, they were very comfortable from Day 1. Not a blister in sight. Great for wide feet and neurodivergent people who really need that proprioceptive feedback. P...
