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.

WOMEN'S SPECIFIC FIT

Say goodbye to heel slippage with the Laguna's women's specific fit, designed to hug your foot just right! This version offers less volume in the vamp/toe box area compared to the Malibu.

WIDE TOE BOX

EFFORTLESS SLIP-ON STLYE

No more fussing with laces – the Laguna's slip-on design lets you slide into comfort and style in seconds. Pop down the heel for quick slipper style access!

ZERO-DROP

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

Reviews Summary

Customers say these slip-on shoes are exceptionally comfortable right out of the box. Many reviews mention the roomy toe box and snug heel fit that prevents slipping. While most find them perfect for all-day wear, some note they run slightly tight and recommend sizing up. The lightweight design and versatile style earn frequent praise. Common feedback includes easy on-and-off convenience, though a few mention the opening could be challenging. Reviews are mixed on durability, with some noting early wear on soles or fabric. Many appreciate the cork insole and ability to wear with or without socks.

New favorite
Wow is all I can say. This is one of my favorite shoes. Some days I want a little extra cushion as I often wear very minimal shoes. These are flexible and light and spacious in the toe box but offer such a comfy footbed - I love them! While not crazy thick or squishy- for me they feel like clouds. Highly recommend and hope they keep this model. Zero slipping on the heel- no rubbing anywhere. Simple and cute and well made. I sized up at first and ended up swapping back down. For reference my primal 2 in same size are a wee bit shorter and I wear them without the insole. This model the size up was too big so I ordered 8.5 (same as my primal 2) and they are perfection. So while I often need 1/2 size bigger in this model I do not.

Nice but tight
Ordered a 10 which is my usual LEMS size but had to exchange them for 10.5 to fit my toes. Seems that the toe box is not deep enough or long enough to fit my toes. 10.5 shoes are fine.
