Description Features Sizing Resources A Comfortable & Foot-Healthy Minimalist Dress Shoe The Lems Nine2Five V2 is a full-grain leather dress shoe that’s perfect for a variety of occasions and settings, including the office, around town, or anywhere in which professionalism and style are key. Whether you dress these shoes up with a pair of slacks or down with a pair of jeans, the Lems Nine2Five V2 offers you style, comfort, and versatility, as well as the possibility of realizing improved foot function and an optimal stride. With its premium, polishable leather upper, durable finish, and pebbled texture, the Nine2Five V2 combines durability with a sleek and sophisticated look. Wide Toe Box, Zero-Drop Platform, Flexible Sole In addition to its attractive design, the Lems Nine2Five V2 is a shoe for foot health enthusiasts. The wide, anatomically appropriate toe box of this foot-friendly shoe allows your toes to splay the way nature intended, while the completely flat sole from heel to toe helps enable natural arch support, helping you avoid conventional arch orthotics and problems such as bunions, hammertoes, and plantar fasciosis. The relatively low stack height of the Nine2Five V2 (10 mm) permits your foot to sense and react to the ground upon which you walk, which helps ensure higher-quality footfalls and a healthy gait. Compatible With Correct Toes & Other Helpful Footgear The Lems Nine2Five V2—which incorporates a cushioned collar and cork-topped insole for foot comfort, as well as durable poly laces to keep your foot snug and secure at the ankle—also works well in combination with a variety of other helpful natural footgear, including Correct Toes toe spacers, Injinji toe socks, Pedag metatarsal pads or Strutz Pro foot pads, and Naboso insoles. Use the smart Nine2Five V2 in conjunction with the footgear mentioned here to help realign your toes and fortify your feet against the rigors of the workday. Each lightweight Lems Nine2Five V2 shoe weighs about 9.5 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.

For example, if you normally wear a men's US size 11 shoe, consider ordering an 11 in the Lems Nine2Five V2. 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.
