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.

VEGAN MATERIALS

Comprised of microfiber and breathable air mesh, we made sure that all materials, down to the laces and glue, are 100% vegan.

ULTRA LIGHTWEIGHT

Our proprietary IBR outsole is what makes Lems incredibly lightweight and flexible - giving your foot the sense of weightlessness.

ZERO-DROP

Places the forefoot and heel flat to the ground correcting posture, aligning your spine, and encouraging mid-foot strike.

WIDE TOE BOX

Unlike traditional footwear that squeeze the toes together, our foot-shaped toe box allows for maximum room giving the toes ultimate freedom to wiggle and spread.

Primal Zens Are The Reason I Can Walk
OK, these shoes already have a gazillion reviews. But I need to add mine, because Primal Zens have been life changing for me. I have severe balance issues and neuropathy in my feet. Normal walking is nearly impossible. I saw the photo of these shoes being bent double, yet the soles appeared rather thick. That is exactly what I need. Without bendy soles, I have to sort-of stomp flat footed like an extra in a zombie movie. Yet I need a supportive, cushioning sole, especially on rough or uneven terrain. Anyway, I got my first pair and I was able to cross my own garden, walk up the gravel path, cross the supermarket parking lot without a cart, etc etc. I can honestly say that these are the best shoes I have ever worn. I just ordered my 2nd pair!

Finally Fit
I was having such a hard time finding a brand that does wide toe boxes in a cute way. I really loved the look of these and was exicted to get them! I ordered in my regular size according to the sizing chart and unfortunately those shoes did not work. I ended up having to exchange them two more times to get a shoe that fits my foot. The shoes are now a decent width for my feet but just slightly too long. I still think they’re comfortable and will be keeping them. Customer service was very helpful during this process and shipping was extremely fast!

Best shoes ever
I love these shoes--4 pairs and counting. My posture has never been better. The only thing I wish is that they came in raspberry red or some shade of purple
