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.

Comfortable but run a little small
I have an old soccer injury. Medial compartment, right knee. Osteoarthritis has developed there. Walking barefoot produces the least discomfort. So I thought I’d try barefoot shoes. The Primal Zen make walking outdoors much less painful. Comfortable and sturdy. Only issue is that they are smallish. I measured my feet and selected on the size chart. Went up a half size to be on the safe side. But the shoes are tight. Not so much that I would return them, but not what I expected either. Recommend ordering one half to one full size larger than your usual.

Great shoes
I had problems at first insert. They weren't as tall as I needed them to be right off the bat so they were a little uncomfortable. But once they adjusted to my feet and I adjusted the laces a little, they were perfect!
