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.

Reviews Summary

Customers say these shoes offer exceptional comfort with their wide toe box and lightweight design. Many reviews mention the versatility for daily wear, from office settings to long walks. The shoes require minimal break-in time, with users praising the immediate comfort. While most find them spacious enough for wide feet, some note they needed to size up for the perfect fit. Frequent comments address their stylish appearance that works for both casual and semi-formal occasions. Users particularly appreciate the natural feel during walking and standing. Though most love the durability, a few mention concerns about seam durability and sole wear over time.

Great shoes. seemed to either run a little small or break in less than other shoes
Love the shoe. I've been buying 8.5 at store for a minute. These seemed slightly small. Either that or my other shoes all stretch and break in and these didn't. Means that I'm not wearing them right now. Oh well.
Weird part was that my toes only hit the front of the shoe (when the shoes flexed) on my left side... have not had this issue before that I can remember.
