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.

PRIMAL 2 VS. PRIMAL 3 OVERVIEW

RUGGED UPPER

The upper is made of durable materials that stand up to the abuses of trails, and also daily wear and tear.

MOUNTAIN-TO-TOWN OUTSOLE

Engineered with a low profile rubber tread that combines the best of both worlds: ample traction on trails, AND excellent durability on pavement.

LOW HEEL DROP

With 4mm of drop, compared to the traditional 12mm of drop, the Trailhead naturally decreases heel-striking for a more natural gait and healthier posture.

FIRM CUSHIONING

When your foot is on too soft of cushion, you end up with pain and discomfort. We've formulated a firm EVA midsole that'll keep your feet happy all day long.

Reviews Summary

Customers say these shoes are versatile and comfortable for daily wear. Many reviews mention sizing runs small, with most needing to go up half to full size larger than usual. The lightweight design and durability receive frequent praise, with several mentioning their shoes lasting years of regular use. While most find them comfortable for various activities, some note the toe box could be wider. Repeat buyers are common, with many owning multiple pairs. The shoes adapt well from city walking to light hiking, though a few mention the fit varies between pairs.

One suggestion
Love these shoes, great build, colors and fit (although sizes run small), I normally wear a size 10 or 10.5 but an 11.5 in Lems. Also would suggest adding a heel loop. That's one feature I loved on my Primal Pursuits.

Cool trail shoe but runs small
This is a well-built shoe. This is also the perfect stack/drop for me, I wish it were more foot-shaped like the zero drop models. Not sure why companies think foot shaped and zero drop HAVE to go hand in hand.
The shoe runs half a size small compared to brands like New Balance, Solomon, and Hoka. Suggest sizing up half a size unless they fix the sizing.

Great new shoe
Great fit and very comfortable… I should’ve followed their advice and bought two pairs a size apart… I bought a nine and it was a little small and returned and got a 9 1/2 and it was perfect… The Return system was practically flawless… A great experience!
