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.

FULL RUBBER OUTSOLE WITH ZIG-ZAG SIPING

This brand new, sticky rubber outsole incorporates 4mm deep lugs for incredible traction on snow, mud, and everywhere in-between! The built in zig-zag grooves (siping) provide additional biting edges to cut into ice/snow and helps ground your feet in slippery situations.

100% WATERPROOF UPPER

With its fully waterproof membrane and gusseted tongue, the Boulder Summit will keep your feet dry and warm, especially after a day on the slopes or slogging through slush on your way to the bar!

ZERO-DROP

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

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.

Not true zero drop if used with provided insoles. Quite narrow around the forefoot
Pros: generally comfortable out of the box (if your type of foot fits the show) and very good quality. Roomy in the arch area, so will fit people with higher arches.
Cons: Upon wearing and visual inspection, the shoe itself is quite wide, but the footbox feels narrow I've uploaded a photo of the Altra Lonepeak 9+ for comparison where the footbox extends further out to the side give more room for toe splay. For For reference, the pictured Altra model is the regular and not the wide size. I took out the insules and interestingly the insoles of the Lems 43cm and Altra 42.5 are the same size, but the width of the material on the top og the shoe is different, making the Altra feel much more roomy.
Unsure: the shoe advertized as zero drop, however the foam insole is a few mm thicker in the heel than in the forefoot. When feeling both ends you can clearly feel the difference in texture and thickness. Presumably this is for added shock absorption. Comparing the insole with the Altra, the material of the Altra insole has equal thickness and feel all across. I would replace this with a completely flat insole if you want truly zero drop. Taking out the insole provides more room in the forefoot, yet big toes is still grazing the sides og the shoe, reducing toe splay by forcing the big toe slightly inside.
If you have average feet that are either narrow or less than average width in the forefoot or you dont care about increasing toe splay, you will likely be happy with this shoe. I…

Warm, dry and a fit that doesn't need to be worn in
I bought these boots to be my Winter boots — for commuting and wearing to muddy parks for kids' sports. The boots have required no wearing in due to the wide toe box. However, they feel snug and warm — perfect for their purpose.

Amazing
Shoes are comfortable, I can stand on my feet for full weekends of 12 hour shifts and feel no pain in my feet like the several of shoes I'd tried before it. Even the stock insoles have great arch support.
