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.

LOVE These Shoes
This is by far the most comfortable walking shoe I’ve ever worn. So happy with it that I just ordered the Trail Thrasher, and will order the clog in January. Deducted one star because the first time I pulled the little loop in the back to help pull the shoe on, the thread pulled out. Hope the rest of the shoe is higher quality and durable.

My Favorite Shoes
I have these in multiple colors.
Although I am usually a 10, I got these in 10.5 to get extra foot space. I also wear them without the insole and it is still very comfy.
These are my perfect barefoot shoes.
