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.

ENHANCED OUTSOLE

With its newly redesigned outsole, the Primal 3 features a wider footprint, offering improved weight distribution and stability.

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.

ZERO-DROP

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

FLEXIBLE

Made from our signature IBR outsole, the Primal 3 is an ultra lightweight and flexible option compared to traditional footwear.

Reviews Summary

Customers say these shoes offer exceptional comfort with their wide toe box and flexible design. Many note the shoes fit true to size, though some prefer sizing up a half size for optimal fit. The lightweight construction receives frequent praise for all-day wear. While most love the immediate comfort with no break-in period, some mention concerns about sole durability. The shoes earn particular appreciation for their versatility, working well for walking, casual wear, and light hiking. Reviews highlight the secure heel fit despite the roomy toe area. Several mention the shoes pair well with various outfits, though some wish for more color options.

I like them !
I like these shoes alot. They have so much toe room and that is what I was looking for. I am now understanding how shoes with built in arches are not really appropriate for our feet. I want to get some that are leather now ! On my wish list.
