Expert Review Sources

  • Runnea : 79.3 / 100 — « Calibrated with a 5.6 mm drop and weighing 258 g, the Lems ZENSPEED+ strikes a convincing balance between impact protection and lively turnover (258 g, a 5.6 mm drop). A smart choice for runners looking for a 5.6 mm drop and consistent performance all season long. »
  • RunRepeat : 78.6 / 100 — « The Lems ZENSPEED+ is an interesting first attempt at a dedicated running shoe from a brand better known for casual and minimalist footwear. We really liked its stable, grounded ride, comfortable upper, and natural feel, while its versatile design works nicely for easy runs and everyday wear. Conversely, its surprisingly poor energy return takes away most of the fun, and the toebox, while roomy, isn't as wide as we expected from Lems. The high price also limits its appeal, but it remains a unique, down-to-earth option for runners who value comfort and simplicity. »
  • Runagora : 77.0 / 100 — « Across our daily trainer testing on road, the Lems ZENSPEED+ impresses in real-world road testing with its secure midfoot lockdown and consistent cushioning. Its balance of shock absorption and responsive rebound meets every expectation for daily trainer training. »
