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

Reviews Summary

Customers say these shoes offer exceptional comfort with their wide toe box design. Many reviews mention the natural barefoot feel while maintaining enough cushioning for all-day wear. The shoes tend to run small, with most suggesting ordering a half to full size up. While most praise the comfort and fit, some note durability concerns with the sole. Many become repeat purchasers, appreciating the versatile style suitable for both casual and office settings. The cork insoles receive positive feedback for comfort, though some prefer wearing the shoes without them. Reviews consistently highlight the shoes' lightweight construction and initial comfort right out of the box.

Excellent Shoe
These shoes are very comfortable and provide the minimalist feel i was looking for. Pairing Lem's shoes with the toe socks immediately eliminated the crowding and blistering of my feet anytime I had to walk further than 1.5 to 2 miles. I highly recommend Lem's and their shoes, I have 6 pairs now to cover all aspects of what I need them for!!
