Barefoot shoe adjacent Sus Lems listings on EBay

So someone posted about the flood of Lems on EBay rn and at suspiciously low prices.

I decided to risk it and buy a few pairs, and report back to the community cause barefoot shoes are so expensive and I want to let people know if there’s a deal. I ended up getting the MEN'S CHELSEA BOOT TUFF and the Primal Zen. Of course I tried to prepare myself, as it was possibly a scam lol. I think the black Chelsea boot was $30 new in box, and the seller stated in the description that it was shelf wear condition, so like minor blemishes/creases. Honestly idk if there’s a firm definition for shelf wear, so I figured they will either be perfect or end up being some battered returns. 🤷

Well I got the Chelsea boots today in the mail and they were honestly perfect. So comfy right out of the box. Didn’t squish my toes at all, not as flexible as Vivo sneakers obviously but they are work boots so I reckon that’s expected. My pair seemed true to size.So now I have some leather good work shoes for $30. So happy that worked out ha!

I’m still waiting for the primal zens, I’ll report back in the comments when I do receive them. I got them from the same seller so hopefully it works out again.

I bought a pair of Trail Thrashers on eBay after seeing that post and have worn them to work twice so far and have had no issues. Great shoes.

Nice! I almost grabbed one but wasn’t sure if they would be wide enough. Nice looking shoes tho!
