Meet the Primal Sawyer, Our Widest and Lightest Shoe
Attention Softstar fans… we are so excited to introduce the newest addition to our Primal collection: the Primal Sawyer! Weighing in at just 6.7 ounces, this fun, everyday shoe is our widest and lightest casual shoe yet. With our signature foot-shaped Primal toe box and a variety of leather colors to choose from, the Sawyer easily transitions from work to play so you can move through your day in comfort and style.
Just as with the Primal RunAmoc athletic shoe that we released in 2018, the Sawyer has an innovative, eye-catching sole shape that works with, instead of against, your natural foot physiology. Our Primal styles feature the widest toe box on the market, guaranteed. This anatomically correct sole shape, modeled after the way our feet are meant to spread as we move, encourages wildly healthy toe splay, and the shoe’s flexible materials let feet move freely while building strength and balance. This style works especially well with toe spacers, such as Correct Toes, that help restore natural foot shape and function.
Strolling through life in Sawyers is as close to barefoot as you can get, not only because of the shoe’s natural shape, but because it’s unbelievably lightweight. Featuring an ultra-light Pyramid sole and soft Nubuck leather uppers, your feet won’t know what hit them!
“I’m thrilled to offer another style with this revolutionary sole shape,” says our CEO Tricia Salcido. “The Sawyer is such a fun, savvy shoe—plus, it’s so lightweight, it’s like wearing nothing at all!”
The Sawyer is available in adult sizes and features lightweight, buttery soft leather uppers that mold seamlessly to the foot. A turned-down leather cuff at the top of the upper gives the shoe a unique, casual look. The style comes in three colors: Black, Burgundy, and Navy with Stars. We also plan to release two additional colors, Sage and Cocoa, later this fall.

Love the Barefoot movement. Quick question about the Adult Primal Sawyer. Are they meant to be warn with Socks or no socks? I live in CA and it is HOT, do they stink if warn without socks, or should socks be warn to keep the shoe smelling like leather and not a dead carcass.
