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.

Zen
As a lady with wide feet ( and a bunion, no fun ) , these shoes are exactly what I need. Plenty of room for my toes to spread naturally as I move. The material flexes wonderfully to accommodate my achy bunion. With these shoes, no bunion pain and no restriction! So comfortable I sometimes forget they are even on my feet. I also needed comfy shoes for my 10 hour work days, on my feet the entire time, and I have to say, the Zens are perfect! Mahalo!!!

Love these, and, and I wear them everywhere. This is my first pair of zero drop shoes, and it took a little while to get used to them. For a few days, I thought they were too small, but then I realized that my toes just needed to learn how to spread out.! I tried another pair of barefoot shoes, but they were too thin for me, I felt like I could literally feel the ground through them. The cork liner in this shoe is just what I needed. It still feels barefoot, but I don’t feel every stone or pebble under my feet.

Almost Perfect
I Love these shoes so much. However, after 1.5 years I’ve already blown through 2 pairs. Keep in mind these are my main pair of shoes and I walk A LOT (on average 5 miles a day). I find that I wear down the tread and wear holes into the mesh after about 6months. Very cute and comfortable and they get a lot of compliments .
