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.

The perfect walking shoe
I have strong opinions about barefoot shoes because it's hard to find one that fits wella nd feels comfortable all day. The Primal Zen is one of thise rare oddities in the shoe world where the combination of the shoe shape, cushioning, and everything else hits a sweet note and leaves my feet singing all day! They are very lightweight compared to conventional shoes and this may be the first time in my life that I have every worn a pair of shoes and forgot that they existed!They conform to my feet so well and are so light that it's almost like a second skin. They do it while looking stylish and on trend too. I ordered the white but the actual color is creamy and almost a light sandy color--it's beautiful and looks great with my outfits. There's nothing out there that feels better and looks sharp enough to pair with my business casual slacks. I love these shoes and wear them daily.

Love these
Switched from Hokas to these. My feet no longer hurt! Plantar fascitis is gone. I need a second pair for winter.
