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.

My very favorite shoes!!!
I am so happy to have a chance to review these shoes! I have been searching far and wide for shoes to replace some old Altra’s ( the have changed the design and the new model doesn’t work for me). These are SO comfortable! Acc to a chart on the site, they run a little small, so I ordered 1/2 size up and they are perfect!!! I’m not joking when I say they are the only shoes I want to wear these days; they truly have a wide toe box, & with the “zero drop” they are perfect for my poor arthritic feet. Plus: I LOVE the look! I am truly spreading the word about LEMS💚💜🩷

Wow!
I have been ordering...and returning...barefoot shoes trying to find a brand and style that works for me. I have been wearing barefoot type shoes for a few years now and have experienced changes in my feet. I really wanted shoes with a wide toe box, a minimal arch, some cushion in the heel, and some stability but flexibility. Color options were also a big consideration. These shoes fit the bill! The only drawback for me is that they are a bit shorter at the big toe than I would like (the next 1/2 size was too big). The suede is softening up nicely and I feel like I am gaining some 'wiggle room' at the front of the shoe. They are so comfortable, I can wear them for 8-10 hours a day...and I don't sit much!

So comfortable!
Easy to slip on and off without untying and still stay secure on feet.
