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.

Zero drop goodness
After living a life in sandals, believe me I’ve tried nearly all of the “other” brands out there. Some have funky Velcro, so have uncomfortable toe straps, and some are so heavy and clunky that they induce tripping. When it comes to a lightweight active sandal, these check all the boxes. Comfort is amazing. I really like the zero drop feature. Thick soles don’t allow proper foot geometry and resemble thick Frankenstein soles. These sandals are badassery in motion- lightweight, comfortable, and don’t leave your feet feeling beat up after pounding the pavement or hitting the trail. These sandals hike better than any brand I’ve tried. Off-camber in some brands you’ll blow your foot out the side- not these. Foot stays planted and secure. These work well with the toe socks for cooler climates and keeping dirt out. Hands down, you have a winner here.
