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.

FULL RUBBER OUTSOLE WITH ZIG-ZAG SIPING

This sticky rubber outsole incorporates 4mm deep lugs for incredible traction on snow, mud, and everywhere in-between! The built in zig-zag grooves (siping) provide additional biting edges to cut into ice/snow and helps ground your feet in slippery situations.

100% WATERPROOF UPPER

With its fully waterproof membrane and gusseted tongue, the Boulder Summit will keep your feet dry and warm, especially after a day on the slopes or slogging through slush on your way to the bar!

ZERO-DROP

Places the forefoot and heel close 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 boots are exceptionally comfortable right out of the box with no break-in period needed. The wide toe box accommodates various foot shapes, though some find sizing runs large and recommend going half a size up. Many appreciate the excellent traction on snow, ice, and wet surfaces, plus the waterproof construction that keeps feet warm and dry. The leather quality receives consistent praise for durability and appearance. Common feedback includes requests for speed lace hooks instead of eyelets and occasional concerns about the gusseted tongue being tight. Users report wearing them for work, hiking, and daily activities with great success.

Great shoes, great fit
I love my new Lems Boulder Summit. Great fit for my broad feet. Very warm and comfortable in the Oslo vinter. If I should have an improvement suggestion it would be regular leather and not nubuk, as regualar leather is easier to take care of with the road salt on the city streets.

Solid everyday winter boot
I've had these for two winter seasons up in northern norway now and can conclude that the grip is solid and they are warm. It's not a boot made for -40C° but warm enough for everyday use in -5C° to -10C°. This is a bit unique for a "barefoot shoe" since most of them don't have the necessary isolation in the sole. I've been wearing wool socks only, since it's a leather boot you will be sweating a bit. I tried to see how long i could use it at spring but they became too warm and sweaty when it started to go above +10C°.
Little wear and tear noticeable. Treated it with leather oil only. Can absolutely recommend it.
