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 are extremely comfortable right out of the box with no break-in period needed. The wide toe box provides excellent room for toes to spread naturally, making them ideal for people with bunions or foot issues. Many appreciate the zero-drop design and lightweight feel while maintaining good traction and stability on various terrains. Common feedback includes the need to size up half a size for proper fit. Some mention the shoes run small or narrow in certain areas. While most praise the comfort and durability, a few note limited arch support and wish for more cushioning in the forefoot area.

Great hiking shoe and all around
Great shoe. Purchase for a trip and use them right out of the box. Comfort was perfect. Great for hiking and good traction!

Very pleased.
First of all, exchanging for a different size was the best I’ve experienced from any company. While i have not hiked in my Trail Blazers, wearing them around town has been a dream. Wide toe box and NO slippage in the heel, so the shoes are loose where they should be and fitted where they should be. Bought them to walk the Camino in Spain in September and looking forward to prepping in them before the trip! So glad I went with Lems. Pretty sure I’ll be purchasing more shoes from Lems.

Comfortable, but narrow toe box
This shoe is very comfortable, but I was disappointed on the narrow toe box. All other LEMS shoes I've purchased have a wide toe box. Luckily, the soft, mesh fabric is very comfortable and I have no foot pain.
