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.

Great shoe with a fatal flaw (for me)
So they fit and feel really good, and grip well on challenging descents, and have enough padding for very rocky trails.
The heelcup grips your foot very well, but comes up high enough that it irritates my Achilles tendon something fierce. I am going to attempt to modify the back of the shoe first by altering the shape with a pipe and steam, and finally cutting out a relief notch if necessary. The next gen of these shoes should take this into consideration

my new Trail Blazers
I have worn the Trail Head shoes for the past several years and have enjoyed them very much.
This is my first pair of Trail Blazers and I am very happy with them. I like the wider toe area these shoes feature. The appearance is also to my liking.
