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.

Great shoe- comfortable fit- wore them walking in Europe but switched them off with other running shoes every other day- transitioning for Plantar Fasciitis.

This fit way bigger than primal zen 2, and the ankle dug in
I love the primal 2s, I've had them since 2018 and still use them (after replacing the insert) but I have some holes in them and decided I should maybe try some new ones. I loved that these are eco, but the 7.5 eco fit way bigger than the 7.5 primal 2. They fit almost like an 8-8.5 comparatively, even with socks on.
the main problem was that the ankle part sticks up higher and tighter than the primals and it dig into my ankle/Achilles area so I sadly returned them.
