  1. As a vegan, I’d rather wear canvas or hemp or some organic material that isn’t the skin of an animal or add to plastic waste. Vegans aren’t responsible for companies making poor choices

  2. That was my biggest issue with the Primal 2, on the grass they were A-MAZING but on anything hard it was pure murder. The new thicker Boulders are my favorite, Lems is just killing it. Need those Jim Greens now though

  3. I wear these everyday, and have been for about 4 months. After being brand-agnostic, wearing whatever sneakers I could visually tolerate from dicks sporting goods for the first 20 years of my life I can confidently say I don't see myself ever wearing normal sneakers again. I wore my old sneakers for the first time the other week and I straight up cannot believe the abuse I've been subjecting my pinky toes to all this time. I'm still adjusting to the extra work/strength you need to walk "barefoot" but it makes me better than other people so it's a price worth paying 🙂

  4. Thanks for reviewing the Primal 3’s. I have a pair of 2’s that unfortunately seem to hurt my feet more than help them. I’ve put it down to the arch and the narrow and rounded heel on the 2’s. My sweet spot in the Lems is the Primal Zen. Love this shoe! The perfect minimalist shoe for my feet. I appreciate Lems listening to the feedback from their customers and making changes, however, I’ll probably stick with the Zen’s.

  5. i had the primal 2s as my main, and in most cases, only shoe for 7 years. i walk a lot, hike a lot, travel a lot, and used them as a running shoe regularly as well. So durability wise, I think because of how flexible they are maybe ,they lasted a really long time and took a beating before starting to fall apart (and i still have them but don't really wear them any more. They were also my first barefoot shoe and honestly I still haven't found a casual shoe that is as comfortable for me as the primal 2 was (but maybe thats because it was my first pair and almost the only thing I wore for many years so I just became so adjusted to them). I am also a bit annoyed that most options for barefoot shoes are essentially made out of plastic right now, but at the same time leather doesn't really have the flexibility required (and i actually don't think would be as durable if flexed and stretched) to make a nice barefoot shoe that allows a wide range of motion. And no matter what anyone says… leather just isn't breathable compared to alternatives. So for a shoe as versatile as the primal 2 its better that is made without leather imo. I also never really noticed the way the arch conforms to the foot more than other shoes but actually I think its nice because it doesn't give any support and it feels a bit more responsive when you are using your feet in more flexible ways. I never noticed any instability. when i first bought them lems has a very small product selection and all of the shoes were quite minimal.. they have slowly become less and less barefoot sadly

  6. On the injection blown rubber – I had an issue where my Lems Drifters out soles literally blew-up while in my car for about 3 hours one afternoon in May. Lems basically ignored my request to send me a new pair. The soles of my Drifters were permanently warped from being exposed to mildly warm car in early May. That's unacceptable for any shoe brand. The IBR wear rate has been okay for my purposes on Drifters and Primal 2 (and I like the Primal 2), and Lems is my favorite barefoot brand (great for my high volume mid-foot), but but the injection blown rubber needs to go.

  7. brother you made a grate colabe with the jim green can you so the same but for a gym shoe like lems but lether so they last longer and some winter boots with sheep linning on the inside for winter like the really cool high top shoes you made last year but in wide / barefoot toebox zero drop they is not alot of options outthere for us

  8. I've tried all the barefoot shoes on the market and none of them are nearly as good as $35 shoe from China they sell on amazon. most of them suck. Lems are alright. but the $35 chinese shoes on amazon are better. they fit better, feel better, last longer, more comfortable, and they look good.

  9. What does an actual human arch do? It's a spring. it works just like that shoe is designed. You don't actually want something pushing up on your arch that doesn't move with it like that. That shoe you showed is designed the same as human foot. Nothing wrong with it. "Arch support" is bs. All you're doing is blocking your foot from working the way it's naturally designed to.

  10. My favorite casual barefoot shoes. I loved the primal 2 but the round heel made it a bit unstable. I love my primal zen, but I wished the upper was as nice and appealing as the primal 2. They combined the two and released the primal 3!!! Perfect

  11. I'm vegan, but to be honest I prefer real leather in shoes. Well, canvas can be fine for some climates too, but I do not buy pleather shoes (anymore). They don't last very long and they are not breathable. And yeah, they don't mold to the feet either as leather does.

  12. Lems is trying to test my patience with their stack height. They were already less barefoot then I wanted and they made their most barefoot shoe less barefoot. DO THAT FOR ANOTHER SHOE IN YOUR LINEUP, or MAYBE make a shoe more barefoot than the primals. As it is that's a goofy change.

  13. I think weston must just have flat feet because I've worn the primal 2s for a year now and I literally had no idea what he was talking about with that arch buckling. Really just not something that ever happened to me.
