Our take on the Women's Primal Zen

The Lems Primal Zen is a minimalist, zero-drop shoe built for everyday wear and gym work. It has Lems' widest natural-shape fit, a flat outsole, a low stack height and a touch more cushion than the Primal 3, all while staying light. An attached tongue and slightly stretchy laces keep the fit locked in, and the cork footbed stays cool with or without socks. Owners rate it highly for comfort and stability in lifting and cross-training; the trade-off is thin underfoot protection and little support for heavy heel striking or long road miles.
