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 spacious toe box and flexible design. Many reviews mention the perfect fit after sizing up half a size. Frequent comments address the lightweight feel and versatility for daily activities. While most praise the natural foot movement and all-day comfort, some note the soles wear out relatively quickly. Reviews highlight the secure heel fit despite the roomy toe area. Users particularly appreciate the transition from traditional footwear, with many becoming repeat purchasers.

Wonderful shoes for any occasion
I’ve taken these hiking shoes on multiple trails ranging from rocky switchbacks to muddy forest paths, and they’ve held up incredibly well. The grip is solid on both wet and dry terrain, and the ankle support feels stable without being too stiff. They’re lightweight but durable, and I was pleasantly surprised at how breathable they are during longer hikes. After a few hours, my feet still felt comfortable with no hot spots or blisters. Definitely recommend these for anyone looking for a reliable all-around trail shoe.

Women’s Primal 3
Comfortable as a new-to-barefoot style “training” shoe.
My feet are liking the change, as is my back.
Now I will consider the Chelsea, waterproof boot for this coming season.

Fabulous
I just wish I had known about these fabulous shoes years ago. I ordered three pairs and getting ready for a fourth order. Not only are they the most comfortable shoe I've worn for my bunion feet, but they are so lovely. I've received compliments too! I am so thankful for Lems.
