Lems Primal Pursuit (Discontinued)

Have plans with friends for happy hour, but gotta squeeze in that trail time before meeting up with your crew? We’ve got you. The Primal Pursuit is the middle child of the beloved Primal 2 and Trailhead/Mesa, but with added cushion and a unique, all-new rubber outsole design for more comfort and added traction. So get that trail run in and don’t bother changing your shoes because the Primal Pursuit pairs just as well with jeans as it does with sweat and dirt!

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

VEGAN MATERIALS
The vegan-friendly materials combine a PU synthetic upper with air mesh for maximum air flow to wick away moisture and keep you presentable all day long!

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.

For customers that find the Trailhead and Mesa too narrow, the Primal Pursuit may be just what you need, and probably the highest anticipated style to hit the Lems lineup to date! The Primal Pursuit features the same fit and feel as the Primal 2, but with a bit more oomph, like the Trailhead/Mesa.

The new Trail Traction Outsole provides more grip on the trail, with a slightly higher stack height, providing a bit more cushion for more sensitive feet, yet they won’t weigh you down. 

Think of the Primal Pursuit 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 Primal Pursuit combines the fit and feel of the Primal 2 with its zero-drop and wide toe box, with the functionality and durability of the Trailhead/Mesa for more rugged Pursuits - see what we did there? ;)

The vegan-friendly materials include an air mesh upper that allows for maximum air flow to wick away moisture and keep you presentable for a post-run brewski. The Primal Pursuit 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.

You’ll never have to load your weekend getaway pack with multiple pairs of shoes for all of your adventures and social activities, the Primal Pursuit has got you covered for all of it!

Our latest addition to the Primal collection is here and we know you are wondering how it compares to your other beloved Lems. So how does it compare to your other beloved Lems? If you have the Primal 2 and find that they fit just right, then we suggest you stick with that same size. If you find that the Primal 2 is a little too roomy for your comfort, order a half size down. If you are a Boulder Boot fan, we find that the Primal Zen fits a little longer than the Casual Soles styles. If you have any questions, feel free to contact our customer service team at [email protected].

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
