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 shoes offer exceptional comfort with their wide toe box design. Many reviews mention the natural barefoot feel while providing adequate cushioning for daily wear. The cork insoles receive frequent praise for molding to feet, though some note they can slip occasionally. While most find them perfect for walking and everyday use, a few mention the newer model feels less flexible than previous versions. Common feedback includes easy break-in period, good breathability, and stylish appearance. Reviews highlight their versatility for various activities, from city walking to gym workouts, though some suggest sizing down for optimal fit.

Bought them twice
I bought these in white when they were first released and I loved them. Very comfortable, plenty of room for my toes, very breathable, just all around great shoes. I wore them to clear brush on the family farm (stupid) and it looked like they were ruined so I bought another pair. Before I threw them away I soaked them in oxiclean and put them in the wash. They came out looking great. A good durable pair of shoes.

Awesome shoes
I ordered these to see if I liked them as sometimes things look different in real life. I actually think they look better in real life than in photos. I got the black and white ones. I've had the original primals and like these better. As I get older the slightly bigger stack height works for me way better. I'll probably pick up another color in the near future.

Great shoe
This is my 2nd pair of Lems. I honestly went into the barefoot shoe experience with doubts. Now I doubt I’ll wear anything else.
