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.

Good casual wear shoe, not for sport
I switched from the Primal Zen to the Primal Eco and while I love the look, the material, the color, and the quality, they are not as comfortable as the Zen. The reinforced toe box rubs weird and my toes end up sore after long durations in them. I bought them as a "running" shoe but have been primarily rucking in them. I'll continue to wear them as a casual shoe but need something else for running or rucking. They are very attractive shoes, though!

Great shoes!
These shoes are so comfortable! I walk four miles a day four times a week on flat and hilly pavement. Question—if I am only wearing these shoes for my four miles walks, how often should I buy new shoes?

My wife loves these shoes. She won’t take them off because of how comfortable they are. I’ll be ordering a pair for myself.”
