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.

Excellent for my Morton’s Nueroma
Used to be a runner, my arches have fallen and have the nueroma that drives me nuts. My shoe size has grown from a 9-1/2 wide to a full 13 wide if I can get a shoe that fits. These are perfect daily wear, Also purchased a pair of Telluride boots. These are replacing Birkenstocks that were very comfortable, but not as good as these !

Good Shoes
I have yet to find a 5 star shoe for my grumpy old feet so a 4 star rating from me is good. These are the best shoes that I have worn in years. I have a pair of mesh Primal Zen, and I liked them enough to try a pair of the suede version. The mesh above the big toe does not last long enough (more toe cap please) so the suede version should extend the life of that part of the shoe. The outsole is not the longest lasting, but that's the trade off for the nice cushion and flexibility of the blown foam (IBF). The gray isn't too bad...I'm not too sure about the gum color outsole, but I would prefer an all/mostly black version.

I really love my shoes, they are comfortable, stylish and very well made, I’m really impressed. I am seriously considering buying another pair in the near future. In fact I will be buying another pair soon. I definitely will be recommending these shoes to my friends and family.
