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.

3rd pair of Primal Zen
I love these shoes. This is my third pair; I have the night sky and asphalt as well. I wear them for just about everything outside of work. Comfortable, and go with most of my non work wardrobe.

The best pair of shoes I've ever owned.
I can't speak enough praise over these shoes. I am a healthcare provider and have had several patients switch to these shoes - all of them rave about them. I've bought 4 pairs of Lems shoes now and have not been disappointed. This is the best shoe I've ever worn in my life. I'll share my own wins with the shoe.
I have struggled with shoes fitting for years. My feet were too wide for traditional shoes, and in order to fit, I just kept having to buy larger sizes. I cannot wear a traditional 'wide' shoe, as it is too loose in the rear foot and mid foot. I began experimenting with wide toe box shoes and actually sized down from a 15 traditional to a 13 in a toe box due to the lack of compression at the last of the shoe. My foot is still wider than this insole, but this is the closest shoe I've ever found.
I also come from a family of long-standing Achilles tendinopathies. I began experiencing Achilles pain and had an MRI demonstrate tearing within the Achilles. After switching to these shoes, the pain is gone.
Finally, this summer I was in an accident and had a pretty significant fracture through my foot. I couldn't get in to the Ortho for a few days, and these were the only shoes that I could fit on without excruciating pain. I have worn these shoes every day, through all climates, for three straight years and they still look great.
I cannot recommend this product enough and will be a lifetime Lems fan. Thank you for saving my feet.
