The Lems Primal 2 forefoot running shoes has an outsole made of sturdy materials that strongly protects against stone-bruising, so I don’t think durability or underfoot protection will be an issue for high-mileage running on hard, beat-up roads! Most importantly, the Lems Primal 2s low ride-height construction (no heel lift) helps you lock in a properly aligned forefoot strike during running which has the direct effect of reducing heel pressures and impact on other areas of the leg, especially the knee!

"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.
