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.

WATERPROOF

Rain or sun, we’re ready. Not only can you skip along streams and keep your toes dry, you can up the ante on where your travel takes you this winter, thanks to your new favorite pair, complete with a gusseted tongue.

OILED LEATHER UPPER

We’ve utilized a 100% full-grain leather with an oiled finish, that is pre-treated to be water repellent. To increase the water-repellency and extend it over the life of the shoe, we suggest using a waterproofing wax such as Otter Wax and reapplying 2-3 times per year.

IBR OUTSOLE

Our injection blown rubber outsole is what makes Lems incredibly lightweight and flexible. Deemed as the perfect travel companion, this boot can pack down to the size of your favorite puff jacket.

ZERO-DROP

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

Bomber, great all-arounders
I've had mine many years, at least 5. They've been so bomber - lasted so long, and they're still completely waterproof! Great for walking the dog in the rain in Vancouver, and snowy trailheads in the mountains. Bits of the inside leather is finally starting to wear thin, but I figure I'll still get another few years out of them. I just got back from travelling for a year... they were great for rainy days, they got me up a 6000m glaciated peak with crampons on them (not recommended), they got me over several 5000m passes some glaciate with microspikes on them (recommended), and they still look great for wearing to the office. Grip in snow without microspikes is bad. Definitely worth the investment.

Functional Style
These boots feel great right out of the box. They look great and scratches/ scuffs smooth out fine. Waterproof so I’m not worried even in the worst downpour. I’m wearing the in a business casual office environment and have received multiple compliments. Great boot.
