PRIMAL 2 VS. PRIMAL 3 OVERVIEW

Balanced Weight Distribution
The increased overall outsole width ensures that your body weight is spread out more evenly, reducing the pressure points on your feet. This even weight distribution enhances comfort during various activities. For those with lower arches and flat feet, you will find that this is a big improvement. But for those with high arches, you may feel very little, to no difference.
Enhanced Outsole
The Primal 3 is made with our Widest Fit Last, just like the Primal 2. The difference is that we developed a new outsole on the Primal 3 with a wider footprint for more ground contact underneath the foot.
Higher Sidewalls
When examining the Lems Primal 3 from a lateral view, you may notice a visual difference — the sidewalls now wrap up higher on the sides. This is a deliberate design choice aimed at improving both fit and lateral stability. The higher side walls provide a snugger fit around the contours of your feet, cradling them comfortably.
Zero-Drop Platform
Just like the Primal 2, the Primal 3 is built on a zero-drop platform which keeps your heel and toes level, mimicking your natural barefoot position on a flat surface.

ZERO-DROP

First barefoot shoes
These are super comfortable, true to size. Took them on a walking heavy vacation shortly after getting them. Super comfy over rocky ground and all day exploring.

bless this foot shaped shoe
I love these shoes. They were immediately comfortable, even with the paper thin insoles they came with. I swapped 'em out for my orthotic insoles, and now the shoes are even dreamier. I've walked a couple miles at a time wearing these with no issues. I looked for a long time for comfortable, foot-shaped shoes that aren't hideous. These are literally the only ones I've found that fit the bill. I've tried brands like Hoka (which are def not cute), but I personally really dislike big cushioned soles in a sneaker. I like my feet to feel connected to the ground, so I'm really digging the 0 heel-toe drop and thin sole. I typically wear a women's 9, but I went with a 9.5 in these. The 9.5 fits great. I'll probably buy additional pairs in other colors.
