These shoes are incredible! They are instantly comfortable and also handle conditions like snow and hiking through a creek for 3 hours, still having dry feet at the end!! Highly recommend☺️

These are my fifth pair of Lems and my fifth time very happy with my purchase. I love them all. The Boulder Summit are very comfortable and more flexible than I thought they’d be. I’ve recently moved to a cold climate where I intend to do lots of hiking and I now have a shoe that is perfect for both. BPrimal have always been perfect with their service and delivery.

This is my second time buying these socks. After switching to barefoot shoes and toe socks, I've completely replaced my traditional socks. While I favor a thicker version from another brand for long runs, these socks are ideal for my other training activities and everyday use.

Sarah P.

I bought these for my husband to use at work. It has been an absolute treat watching him come home and want to continue wearing them into the evening, because they're so comfortable he doesn't want to take them off.

Lems - Boulder Boot Grip WP - Dakota (Unisex)

Lachlan T.

Super comfy everyday shoes and for training. Wide toe box and zero drop. Flexible and breathable. Slightly more thickness than vivo and xero. I am quite tall, the extra padding is perfect for walking long distances on pavement without heal pain. They do run quite small. I'm 46 in most shoes, including xero. Got 1 up as suggested in comments, ended up returning for a 48.

Freet - Vibe - Black (Unisex)

Ramon C.

First time wearing such minialistic shoes, the sole is very thin and you can feel every bump in grove in the ground, but there is enough support that it is not abrasive or uncomfortable, infact you grow to prefer it, especially when weight training or daily walking. Would high recommend. These shoes are shafe as my dox, chur

Vivobarefoot Primus Lite III - Obsidian (Mens)

Will L.

These are fantastic boots for hiking if you are familiar with the Lems range. I wore these for a 5km, then a 18km, then an overnight totally 25km and found no wearing in issues at all. I will be doing the 123km Cape to Cape in WA in April and I have no concerns at all for my feet in these beauties! I wear mine purely with Injinji socks. I have previously worn my size 11 Primal 2s for training, gym, running, walking and been very happy. Noticing the toe box difference between the primals and the ...

Lems - Outlander Waterproof - Evergreen (Unisex)

Laura B.

They are great! They look big, and they are slightly too long, but the width is perfect. Very comfortable to wear. Very easy to get on and off. Can fit my toe spacers on comfortably while wearing them. I wish I'd got a lighter colour, because although these are very nice, they are very dark against most things I wear - in some lights almost black.

Lems - Primal Zen - Night Sky (Unisex)

John R.

First pair of barefoot style shoes but find these feel very supported and normal - fantastic comfort straight out of the box. Highly recommend these - I followed the site sizing charts and they fit awesome.

Lems - Primal 3 - Slate (Unisex)

Royd C.

Great boots. The fit is spot on. They look good with jeans and can be dressed up too. Wore them on a trip a couple of weeks ago and had them on for more than eight hours straight, they were so comfortable I didn't even notice. I love Lems.

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

Carol H.

After two years of transitioning, I primarily wear barefoot shoes now. I’m a nurse and changed from wearing ASICS to initially, Joe Nimble shoes which I love and have worn for the last year. After my puppy ate them 😭 , I thought I’d try these LEMS. They are super comfortable and look great. The sole is not as thin as my Groundies shoes, which is better for me being on my feet all day at work on a hard floor. Also good for playing pickleball and bush walks. Definitely recommend.

Lems - Primal 3 - Slate (Unisex)

Julie B.

First time ever wearing a pair of shoes that do not hurt anywhere on my feet. No wearing in was able to wear them straight away for 8 hours a day with very happy feet. Amazing shoes for my work, standing and walking all day with no sore feet at all!

Lems - Primal Zen - White Sand (Unisex)

Steve B.

I am 78 years old so have been in zero lift for about two years. I find them more stable and also comfortable. The only thing I don't like about the shoe is the pull tab on the back as I can not get my finer in the hole to pull it on. Therefore this makes putting my shoes on very difficult. Because of the soft upper material I can use a shoe horn, therefore, I have a steel hoop that I use to pull the shoes onto my feet. I have a pair of vivobarefoot shoes and the tab on the back is easy ...

Freet - Howgill - Khaki Green

Adele D.

This is my second pair! I'm on my feet for 12 hour shifts and these feel comfortable all day long. No bunions, corns or blisters wearing these! My feet are able to move naturally which helps all the joints.

Freet - Citee - Black (Unisex)

Jen O.

So pleased with these black with white sole shoes! I've worn Vivobarefoot for years, but now find I need a little cushioning. These are perfect. Nice wide toe box and just enough squish. I wear 8.5 (unisex) in most shoes, and the 8.5 in these korts is perfect. Got some super helpful size advice from the BPrimal team too. Win!

Lems - Kourt - Black Top (Unisex)

Jon T.

I utterly love my LEMS Primal Zen shoes which I wear daily but I needed something in the way of a waterproof boot for riding my motorbike to work in the rain and could still be comfortably worn around work throughout the day (rather than wearing motorbike boots then changing into my Primal Zens for the day). The Boulder Boot Summits looked to be the perfect choice - look respectable enough to wear at work as well as coming far enough above the ankles that my wet weather trousers would cover the ...

Lems - Waterproof Boulder Boot Summit - Coal (Unisex)

Vicki P.

These are my first Bprimal Lems Primal 3 shoes so I was apprehensive about buying on line and the sizing , as you don’t have the ability to try them on before you buy. They were a perfect fit and I have found them to be comfortable to wear. I have read the cleaning instructions and I am adhering to them so I keep the shoes in good condition. I have just started going for walks again . Thank you

Lems - Primal 3 - Eclipse (Unisex)

Nathan B.

Amazingly comfortable boots! They run small. I ordered half a size up and they’re snug but comfortable. Like a soft hug. I’m a builder and have been looking for a pair of barefoot work boots for ages. Lems have exceeded my expectations so far. I’m interested to see how they hold up to the wear and tear of the site.

Lems - Chelsea Boot Tuff - Ash (Unisex)

Annie T.

Love these boots. I do not want to put any confining type of shoe on my feet now. They look great and the oiled surface is perfect for the busy bar work I do. A quick wipe over and they look brand new again.

Lems - Chelsea Boot Waterproof - Obsidian (Unisex)

Katie B.

I ordered the wrong size at first (entirely my fault) and the chat people were so helpful and friendly. Both pairs arrived promptly, and appear to be of high quality. After the first time wearing them, which happened to be the first day of school, nothing but praise. No rubbing, very comfy. And they don't look "weird" they just look like slightly wider shoes. Very happy and would recommend.

Heather N.

The shoes are very comfortable and I like the design. They may be slightly a bit too big, but that's better than too tight. Thanks for all your assistance with helping with the sizing and returning paperwork. Wonderful experience. Thank you. Heather

Lems - Primal Zen - White Sand (Unisex)

Asher M.

I absolutely love these shoes, they are so comfortable for anything I use them for, whether hunting, hiking, farm work or even gardening. Brilliant shoes - I did have a factory issue with them, but it was happily sorted out by the staff and I now have a brand new perfect condition pair.

Lems - Boulder Boot Grip WP - Dakota (Unisex)

Blinne L.

Normally a 6 but I needed a 7 in these. But exchanging was easy! Recommend purchasing the free return/exchange on check out. Very comfortable, been wearing them daily for work

Lems - Primal Zen - Asphalt (Unisex)

Brett S.

The boulder boots are comfortable, but a bit strange if you’re used to a solid heel. I got used to them in no time and they are super comfortable. Plenty of room for the toes.

Lems - Boulder Boot Grip WP - Dakota (Unisex)

Sean M.

The Lems - Chelsea Boot Waterproof - Espresso look great and more importantly feel great. These may be the most comfortable shoes (boots) I have ever worn. Just make sure you order a size up as they are not true to fit, I am normally a US12 and got the US13 which fit perfectly.

Lems - Chelsea Boot Waterproof - Espresso (Unisex)

Bethany S.

I've only worn these once, but as soon as I put them on they were super comfortable. I have a very narrow long foot, but have width straight across my toes, so often have issues with shoes tapering too early in the toe box. These feels great, although feel considerably more supportive than I expected, they seem to have a fair bit of a heel cup - I think they'd be great for people new to barefoot shoes. The only issue I'm finding is that one of the innersoles is puckering up a bit in the middle, ...

Lems - Primal 3 - Eclipse (Unisex)

Philip S.

The size guide was just right. I bought these boots for tramping in the Scottish highlands. The sole is definitely stiffer and thicker than usual barefoot shoes but more flexibility than non-barefoot boots. I think the thicker sole is just what’s needed in the snow.

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

Adriana D.

Got my usual EU size (38) and found it too snug, so exchanged it for one size up and they are *perfect*. I have been wearing hi top converse for 20 years+, so finding a high top barefoot sneaker has been such a win. These shoes are comfy, proper feet-shaped, and seem higher quality than my usuals. Also love the shoelaces, which feel like fabric and not plasticky. Very glad with my purchase.

Be Lenka - Rebound - High Top - Black & White (Unisex)

Rick N.

It’s a great shoe that supports natural movement really well. I’ve been running barefoot and on sandals for over a year and was pleasantly surprised how the stack height on the Altra’s cushions the rugged trails, but maintains good form. I did not start heel striking at all.

Altra - Lone Peak 9+ WIDE - Black - Mens

Karl W.

Still getting used to them but so far very comfortable, flexible and fit well. DEFINITELY download & print out the size chart to get the right size - didn't do that the first time, thankfully paid for guaranteed return policy which was great.

Correct Toes® - Toe Spacers

Liz

I BOUGHT TWO PAIRS ! This was my first BEPRIMAL purchase and I hesitated to buy on line. The trip to the Neutral Bay - North Sydney shop was well worth my while. First of all, the staff were lovely and very helpful and in addition, due to my very wide feet, I had to try on a number of different shoes, but these ones were perfect for my whide feet - so I bought two pairs. Very happy with my purchase

Lems - Primal 3 - Eclipse (Unisex)

Janny M.

It took me a whilento strike the right pair of barefoot shoes, but these are the ones! They are soft and comfortable, with plenty of room for each toe, and minus the innersoles I find my feet engage with the ground beautifully. They are perfect for the long day hikes I bought them for.

Lems - Primal Zen Leather - Black (Unisex)

Margaret G.

Already noticing a difference after wearing Correct Toes for a few weeks. My toes are not curling up as much and I am feeling more engagement with my toes. Bprimal were easy to deal with and answered all my questions.

Correct Toes® - Toe Spacers

Amanda W.

I feel like a barefoot kid again! Finally, a shoe for humans. My toes are engaged when I walk and I can move strongly for my age. (64) The Lems are light, low profile. I sized up by .5 but almost feel I could have kept my size. Sole cushioning is perfect for my casual walking. It's amazing. Thankyou Bprimal!!

Lems - Primal Eco - Shade (Unisex)

Fluffy B.

my daughter loves these combined with toe socks after being challenged with bunions.. they are well made, and super comfortable. we went with the recommended next size up and that has worked well.

Bprimal Youth - (Leather) School Shoes

Lily M.

My feet are about 25.3cm long and 10cm wide and I’ve found the size M8/W9.5 to be good, though I could also have gone a size up. These are flexible, adjustable, and great for hiking rocky trails in. I don’t think they will last very long as after one summer’s wear they are already looking pretty worn out, but they are very comfortable!

Shamma - TrailStars Maximus - Ultragrip (Unisex)

Renee C.

The boots look great and the sizing advice, to go up 1/2-1 size, was spot on. Early days but will see how they hold up in the garden! Very comfortable!

Lems - Chelsea Boot Waterproof - Espresso (Unisex)

Janine S.

Well I haven’t taken them out on a trail yet but out of the box they are simply dreamy. I love the colour and I know I will be wearing them with hiking pants, leggings and a down filled skirt with tights. Whether laced right up or just to the ankle they are comfortable and the footbed allows my foot to just be and my toes to spread. I love footwear that allows me to forget my feet as I walk, hike or run and these trail hikers are all that. Can’t wait to put them through their paces in New Zeala...

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

Stefanie G.

Wonderfully light running shoes. More stability and thicker sole than barefoot shoes but the same toe room, absolutely love them. The mesh upper makes them airy, perfect for Australian summer weather.

Altra - Escalante Racer 2 - White - Womens

Scott J.

Great shoe. A great mid way to entry level barefoot shoe. All the right characteristics (zero drop, wide toe box) but with a little bit more padding making it quite comfortable. Freet are my favourite pure minimalist shoe I find Vivobarefoot’s lack of padding to impactful on my feet and xero insoles crumpling making it uncomfortable. These are perfect for a bit more padding, when on your feet for longer.
