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 are exceptionally comfortable with a wide toe box that allows toes to spread naturally. Many appreciate the zero-drop design and cork insoles, though some find the insoles make putting shoes on with socks difficult. Users report excellent comfort for all-day wear, walking, hiking, and gym activities. The shoes require no break-in period for most people. Common feedback includes praise for the lightweight, breathable design and stylish appearance. Some mention durability concerns with sole wear over time, and a few note sizing inconsistencies between versions. Many customers become repeat buyers, with several owning multiple pairs in different colors.

Theyre soft to walk in, lots of toe space, and look like a nice pair of sneakers.

Review Women's Primal 3
This is my second pair of Lems. About a year ago I purchased the waterproof boulder boots. They were a lifesaver for my feet. My latest purchase has made me a believer in LEMS. The women's primal is my go to daily shoe! Sorry about the pic. I was in the car.
Thank you for walking the walk and talking the talk!

Step aside Altras
I got these as a replacement for my very worn Altra Lone Peak 7s. Except for the fact that these don't have the great treads that the Altras have, they are super comfortable and great for walking around. Please consider keeping the same basic, non-flashy colors and adding some more robust treads. I love these shoes!
