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.

SLIP RESISTANT OUTSOLE

This shoe is equipped with a slip resistant, non-marking rubber outsole that utilizes zig-zag grooves and grippy textures to ensure your feet remain grounded in slippery situations.

LEATHER UPPER

We’ve utilized a full-grain leather upper to enhance the overall look and feel of the shoe. Date night? Business casual event? The Drifter Grip has you covered.

WIDE TOE BOX

Unlike traditional footwear that squeeze the toes together, our foot-shaped toe box allows for maximum room giving the toes ultimate freedom to wiggle and spread.

ZERO-DROP

Places the forefoot and heel flat to the ground correcting posture, aligning your spine, and encouraging mid-foot strike.

Reviews Summary

Customers say these slip-on shoes offer exceptional comfort for all-day wear. Many reviews highlight their suitability for business casual settings, with a stylish appearance that works well in office environments. The wide toe box receives frequent praise, though some note the fit runs slightly narrow and suggest sizing up a half size. Reviews often mention the excellent grip sole and lightweight feel. While most find them perfect for long hours on their feet, a few mention concerns about ventilation and durability. The shoes earn particular appreciation from those who stand all day at work, with users comparing the comfort to wearing slippers.

Comfort, style, convenience and solid
Unexpectedly practical for travel. Took these for a week to London. Excellent for long flights and walking around the town, suitable for casual and smart, and totally what you want when the weather is uncertain. So comfortable. Way more versatile than sneakers. My toes can slip a little toward the end of the shoe, but to be expected with a slip on, without laces to tie my foot back. Not a cause of discomfort as I feared. For a relatively featureless shoe I was not expecting the compliments that I received, but looking at photos, yeah, these are great looking shoes. My first slip-on in a shoe form factor and I am sold! Love the convenience. Excellent grip, which is a gripe with the 9-to-5s which are deadly on snow. These are very surefooted. The barefoot style zero-drop and extreme flexibility are exactly what I want in all my shoes, yet I still have sufficient insulation from rough and cold ground. Solid construction, these look like they will last a very long time, like all my Lems. Full endorsement, you can't go wrong with these.

Comfortable
After putting in a full days work and then driving for 6 hours, my feet were fine.
Usually, I could'nt wait to get the shoes off and wear sandals or, go barefoot.
