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.

LIGHTWEIGHT IBR OUTSOLE

Happy to have the Mariner back!
Love this shoe. Very comfortable. Very well made. Nice quality leather and attention to detail. This is comfortable with socks or barefoot. Great classic look. Regarding sizing: I wear size 8 in Primal 3; size 8.5 in Laguna, Primal Zen, and Chelsea boot; and size 9 in Chillum and Drifter. I emailed Lems to ask what they recommended for the Mariner. They suggested 8.5. That's what I got and they're perfect. Hope that helps anyone who has sizing questions. I love these and might have to get another color.

Size up this new one!
I'm a huge fan of this shoe and had stocked up on several pairs before it was discontinued. I was so excited to see it back! However, although the site recommends ordering your regular size, I found it ran a bit small. I had to return mine, which was a hassle internationally. I suggest sizing up if you're unsure. Still thrilled to see this model return!

Best shoe I've ever had. Only problem is it's discontinued! Bring it back! I'll need another pair in five years or so :) <3
