Comfort, Style & Versatility
The Lems Nine2five is a men’s full-grain leather dress shoe that’s perfect for a variety of occasions and settings, including office and casual situations. Whether you dress these shoes up with a pair of slacks or down with a pair of jeans, the Lems Nine2five offers you style, comfort, and versatility—and the possibility of realizing improved foot function and an optimal stride.
A Minimalist Dress Shoe for Natural Foot Health
Indeed, the Lems Nine2five is a shoe that will support the health of your feet and toes, naturally. The anatomically appropriate toe box allows your toes to splay the way nature intended while the completely flat sole from heel to toe ensures that natural arch support is enabled, helping you avoid conventional arch orthotics and problems such as bunions, hammertoes, and plantar fasciosis.
Works Great With a Variety of Footgear
The Lems Nine2five also works well in combination with a variety of other helpful natural footgear, including Correct Toes toe spacers, Injinji toe socks, Pedag metatarsal pads, and Naboso insoles. Use the Nine2five in conjunction with the footgear mentioned here to help realign your toes and fortify your feet against the rigors of the day. Each Lems Nine2five shoe weighs about 8.5 oz.
Note: If you are new to using Lems footwear, we recommend that you start in slowly, gradually building up your wear-time and giving your body the chance to adapt to the thinner soles and the increased workload on your feet.

To get the most out of your Lems Nine2five shoes, the manufacturer recommends that you order a half-size up from your normal US shoe size. For example, if you normally wear a men's US size 11 shoe, consider ordering an 11.5 in the Lems Nine2five.
If you're on the fence about what size to order, consider ordering both sizes and then simply return the size that doesn't fit as well for a refund. If you have concerns about sizing, feel free to contact us or Lems customer service.
Sizing Tip #1: To create additional roominess within the shoe, we suggest removing the included (optional) shoe liner/insole; this action does not, in any way, affect the performance of the shoe. Optionally, and to enhance balance, posture, agility, and general foot/body awareness, you might consider adding thin, flexible Naboso insoles instead.Sizing Tip #2: Correct Toes toe spacers will often add width and length to the foot. If you’re planning to wear Correct Toes with your footwear, we recommend sizing up, especially if you are on the border between sizes.
