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.

VEGAN MATERIALS

Comprised of microfiber and breathable air mesh, we made sure that all materials, down to the laces and glue, are 100% vegan.

ULTRA LIGHTWEIGHT

Our proprietary IBR outsole is what makes Lems incredibly lightweight and flexible - giving your foot the sense of weightlessness.

ZERO-DROP

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

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.

First purchase from Lens
This is my first purchase from Lems. I absolutely love the primal zen . If you’re looking for something to use for longer distances or for hiking, this is perfect. It provides a little more cushion for your feet. Good for everyday use too!

Most comfortable
I have finally found a shoe meant for my foot. Being on my feet for over 8 hours a day, walking and standing on concrete the entire time, my feet and legs never ache...for the first time in my career. From day one of wear. Thank you Lems.

My review
I took out the cork insoles and now they fit well as I needed the toebox widith to be wider. I did need to get used to the barefoot feel and now it is very good. Wondering when I order another pair of Lems, which I know I will do, which style would accomodate that wider toebox width but not be wider in the rest of the foot. Thank you for letting me know.
