Best Barefoot Trail Running Shoes: Lems Primal 2

Best Barefoot Trail Running Shoes: Lems Primal 2

The zero-drop Lems Primal 2 feels like a meatier version of the Merrell Trail Glove and is a very capable barefoot trail running shoe that can easily handle muddy, sandy and extremely rocky or rooted surfaces. The Lems Primal 2 also does impressively well on the road as the tread can handle long stretches of pavement without wearing down or feeling clunky. Read my full review here!

"I believe the forefoot strike is the engine of endurance running..."

BSc Neurobiology; MSc Biomechanics candidate, ultra minimalist runner & founder of RunForefoot. I was a heel striker, always injured. I was inspired by the great Tirunesh Dibaba to try forefoot running. Now, I'm injury free. This is why I launched Run Forefoot, to advocate the health & performance benefits of forefoot running and to raise awareness on the dangers of heel striking, because the world needs to know.
