Lems Waterproof Primal Pursuit Mid

Love our Primal Pursuits, but wish they could handle the elements and more rugged terrain? Introducing the Primal Pursuit Mid, a waterproof, mid-height version of your favourite go-anywhere shoe. The Primal Pursuit Mid is a zero-drop waterproof boot and features a wide toe box for natural toe splay. The midsole is cushioned for lasting comfort and long days on the feet. Please note that the suede overlays make this shoe non-vegan.

   
100% WATERPROOF UPPER
With its fully waterproof membrane and gusseted tongue, the Primal Pursuit Mid will keep your feet dry and warm.

TRAIL TRACTION OUTSOLE
Our newly designed outsole has recessed grooves and singular lugs, giving you the traction you need for any sticky situation!

  
ZERO-DROP
Places the forefoot and heel flat to the ground correcting posture, aligning your spine, and encouraging mid-foot strike

WIDE TOE BOX
Unlike traditional footwear that squeeze the toes together, our foot-shaped toe box allows for maximum room giving the toes ultimate freedom to wiggle and spread.

The Primal Pursuit Mid is the same shoe as the Primal Pursuit, only with a little more height, waterproof protection, and a suede upper. That’s right, splish splash, take that bath. In these, you can puddle jump, hike through mud, and get caught in the rain while your feet stay nice and dry. 

Think of the Primal Pursuit Mid as a hybrid of the Primal 2 and the Trailhead/Mesa. We incorporated all of the features you have grown to love about these shoe models into one new and improved style! The fit and feel is the same as the Primal 2, only with a bit more oomph, like the Trailhead/Mesa, in order to navigate over rocks and roots like a pro. 

The new Trail Traction Outsole features a slightly higher stack height and more cushion than the  Primal 2, without tacking on too much extra weight. The Primal Pursuit Mid combines the fit and feel of the Primal 2 with the functionality and durability of the Trailhead/Mesa for more adventurous…pursuits - see what we did there? ;)

The materials include an air mesh upper that allows for maximum air flow to wick away moisture and keep you presentable for a post-hike brewski with friends. The Primal Pursuit Mid features the same zero-drop heel and wide toe box as the Primal 2 that allows the toes to behave like they are meant to - free and splayed.

SIZE ORDERING GUIDE

• When using the table below, consider your normal U.S. size, the size that you would most often wear in other brands
• Sizing preference can vary based on many things including: width of your foot, sock thickness, etc.
• If you need more width or volume inside the shoe, all Lems shoes can be worn without the insole
• If you need less width or volume inside the shoe, you may try using a thicker insole than the one that is included with the shoe
• All of our shoes are unisex (except the Trailhead & Mesa). For example, a Boulder Boot in Women's 9.5 is the same exact shoe as a Boulder Boot in Men's 8
