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.

Reviews Summary

Customers say these hiking shoes offer exceptional comfort with their roomy toe box and lightweight design. Many reviews mention the versatile performance on various terrains, from city streets to mountain trails. While most praise the wide fit, some note the toe box could be even roomier. The shoes receive consistent feedback for their good traction and breathability. Frequent comments address sizing, suggesting ordering a half size up for optimal fit. Users appreciate the sturdy construction and comfortable feel right out of the box, though several mention wanting more neutral color options.

My favorite shoes
These are probably my favorite shoe of all time. They're comfortable, durable, fit my foot, and I get compliments on them (and I'm not the kind of person to draw compliments for what I wear). Just all-around excellent footwear. Highly recommended.
