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.

Whoa—So comfy.
I recently started going to PT for a knee issue (starting hurting and giving out on me after a long wintery hike down a mountain) and I'm only 25. This is the first issue I've had with a body part, a joint, general pain. My PT recommended these shoes for the wide toe box and the zero drop, and I was hesitant. After wearing them for a bit, I cannot sing their praises enough. So comfortable, inconspicuously designed for foot health (so many other zero drops are awfully ugly), and overall a delight. My shoes ran very true to size, so don't worry about that (I compared to Nike, Blundstone, and Lowa and these were spot on with size). Do yourself a favor, try Lems. They'll put a little pep in your step.

Most Comfortable Shoes I own
What can I say beyond the title. They are very lightweight, yet have sufficient cushioning. Supremely comfortable.
