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.

Very comfortable
I bought these specifically for riding my motorcycle. Now I find myself wearing them for much more; walks, night out, grocery runs. They are very comfortable.
Lems as a brand and business are fantastic to work with. Fast shipping, great customer service. The first pair I bought was snug, so I sized up. When I went to UPS to ship them back, the team at UPS was happy to see that they use :Happy Returns, which made the process more of a joy than a chore.

Almost as good as the marketing
The larger toe box still skews heavily to the inside, leaving my baby toe as trapped as in any other shoe. The heel feels very thick, and is much louder than when I'm walking than my "normal" shoes. Other than those nitpicks, I'm quite happy, and will be using these as my "daily drivers" for work. I've yet to have cause to test the water resistance, so I'll attempt to update this later.
