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.

Grrrrreeaat!
First off , I was very pleasantly surprised and impressed to receive my order in only a couple days. I shopped for a U.S. based company in hopes of reducing the shipping time, and you folks really stepped up.
I was looking for something with a zero drop, sturdy enough to support my feet, and wide enough to accommodate my bunions. The fit was perfect and the style is really smart. They were comfortable right out of the box. I showed them to my sister and she will soon be ordering a pair for herself.
I found your online store only by doing some extensive browsing and I'm so happy for my discovery. Thank for a quality product at a reasonable price.

Supportive and grippy
Ordered my usual Lem's size (7) for hiking. Appreciate the snugger fit around the ankle and ball of the foot while still having plenty of room for my toes. Also the thicker sole. I tried them out on sand, dirt, and gravel and don't have any complaints. Another great shoe!
