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.

Overall very good
I moved away from Lems years ago due to lack of durability. I decided to give them another chance and am glad I did. Overall a very nice shoe. It’ll be awhile before I know how durable they are but they are comfortable and seem well built. They are a little bulky in my opinion and that is why I removed one star. All in all a good deal for minimal shoes.

Favorite Shoes
Nearly all my shoes are LEMS, and these are my favorite. I use them for walking, biking, trail running and working out. The sole is thin enough to feel the ground but thick enough to protect from sharp rocks. I like that the fit in the toe box is wide but a bit tighter than the Primal Zens.

Hard to imagine.
My first pair of Primals was a few years back, I returned for replacement and found the Primal 3. It's even more comfortable than the pair I originally had! A little more cushion, but the same flexibility, these are great.
Thanks, LEMS!
