This is my review of the Lems Primal Pursuit barefoot trail runners after 1 month of use.
This trail runner shoe is meant to be in between their more minimal Primal 2 line and their more "maximal" Mesa / Trailhead line. This is the black (Nocturnal Ninja) colourway.
How does it stack up against my other minimalist / barefoot shoes? Is this the best barefoot shoe? Is this even a barefoot shoe?! It's definitely one of the most stylish barefoot shoes out there, but is that enough?!

A transitional shoe that doesn't over commit into the minimalism is exactly what I'm looking for. I'm more interested in extra toe space than I am the other aspects and am currently trying to decide between the Lems Primal Pursuit shown here and the Altra ESCALANTE 3.

@PGBlanks Год назад

Thanks for your thoughts! I haven't tried Altras but they are a lot more specialised in running shoes, so if you're planning to do lots of running, and they are the same price, maybe go with those? They do have a thicker sole than these Lems though.

@bangbangcabrera Год назад

Thanks for the review! Finally, someone reviewed these in the black colorway. Wish I woulda seen your video before I bought so you could've gotten a commission! Planning to use these alot, mostly for concerts and some jogging

@PGBlanks Год назад

thanks for the very kind words! love the specific use case of concerts haha. have you tried other barefoot style shoes before?

@bangbangcabrera Год назад

@@PGBlanks i have! I've tried the Xero Alstons, Oswego's, Prios, Z-Trails, Veracruz sandals, the Bedrock Classic sandals, the Vivobarefoot Gobi II and Primus Knit EZ's. So quite a bunch haha. Been wearing minimalist footwear for about 2 years now! And the concert usage is a funny reason haha I was looking for wide toe box and zero drop shoes with enough cushion for jumping around, ventilation and some protection especially around the toe and heel area. I found these actually fit the bill quite well!

@PGBlanks Год назад

@@bangbangcabrera I actually did wear them to a concert once and yes they were great for that purpose 🤣 Which other barefoot shoe would you recommend I try from your list?

@bangbangcabrera Год назад

@@PGBlanks haha glad to hear! Looks like my investment for that sole purpose (pun intended) will have paid off then 😂 I really enjoyed the Gobi II's as an all around shoe, fairly steep price tag but they've reportedly lasted years if taken care of. I forgot to mention but Splay Freestyles are also really good casual shoe with a great price point. And the Prios are also solid for most activities, including running and lifting, while still being affordable at just under $100

Personally prefer the Trailhead. Much less chunky and not quite a zero drop but close enough. Thanks for the well done clip.

@PGBlanks Год назад

Interesting cause they market the Primal Pursuit as a more minimal version of the Trailhead. So is the Trailhead's outsole actually thinner for you, just that it is not zero drop?

@362chop Год назад

@@PGBlanks Just feels less clumsy if that makes sense. And yes the outsole is thinner. Obviously personal preference....

@SonofChurchill Год назад

Thanks for info I'm looking at these may found my first pair of Barefoot Shoes

@PGBlanks Год назад

You're welcome! Lems is pretty good for people transitioning first into barefoot shoes as they have a lot of varieties of cushioned soles. I have a few other Lems reviews on my channel if you want to have a look. Check out Altra as well if you want a bit more cushion but want to start benefiting from zero drop and the wide toebox.

@SonofChurchill Год назад

@@PGBlanks Thanks I'm more interested in big Foot box as got Arthritis in feet. Barefoot Shoes not cheap.

@JustinBaker2567 Год назад

I wouldn't call it a "barefoot" shoe. I would call it a "minimalist" shoe. Its flat, wide toe box, but has a decent sole to it. It's similar to the altra lone peak/superior or the topo runventure. It's still minimal in its design because its flat, relatively flexible, and doesn't have much structure.

@PGBlanks Год назад

I agree! Wish they had this design, but with a more minimal sole.

@snorrevonflake Год назад

Too bad those don't have a good distribution in europe, they are exactly what i am looking for, wide toe box, zero drop, look like a normal sneaker, but NO stupidly thin 4 mm sole - i get the idea but don't want to walk with those on concrete grounds.

@PGBlanks Год назад

Have you tried Altras? They do lean on the extreme side of too much cushion for my taste though.

@reddevil211287 11 месяцев назад

The NB 574 are built on a wider last, how would you compare the toe room in the NB compared to the Lems?

@chop3625 Год назад

To be honest I have these plus the Trailhead, which I prefer. Less bulk & cushion.

@PGBlanks Год назад

Oh did you mean the trailhead is less bulky? Interesting cause on the Lems website they say the trailhead has way less ground feel.

@PGBlanks Год назад

@@user-zp1qp3b I think the Trailheads look awesome! I really love Lems's outdoors-ey aesthetic, I think they make the best looking barefoot / minimalist shoes.

@mikevee6992 2 месяца назад

Take out insole !! I do for that model

@PGBlanks 2 месяца назад

i do this too for this model!

@smallnuts2 Год назад

Is there socks that has the same wide toe area? I dont like the five fingers but I feel regular socks kind of defeat the purpose.

@PGBlanks Год назад

What I've seen people go for are toe socks like Injinji's, but they are a bit pricey. I've also liked those cheap department store socks (i.e. not the super constricting, sporty ones) that are just naturally a bit loose.

@RichardWagenknecht Год назад

Try toe socks! You'll never go back to regular socks.

@mariko2574 Год назад

Was this a review of Lems shoes, or a plug for Vivobarefoot Primus Lite?

@PGBlanks Год назад

I actually wear my Lems more. Looks better for day to day use. But I know so many people I've spoken to try Lems and are very disappointed by the cushion so it's good to have comparisons. 😅
