*Please note: The Primal 3 now comes with the Minimal Cork Insole (not the pictured blue insoles in some lifestyle shots). Sorry, no substitutions.

Attention, Primal 2 enthusiasts! Get ready to refresh your footwear game with the all-new Primal 3. Designed with your feedback in mind, this latest iteration maintains many of the signature features of the Primal 2, such as a zero-drop platform and wide toe box, while also introducing exciting enhancements.

The difference is that we developed a new outsole on the Primal 3 with a wider footprint for more ground contact underneath the foot. It has a wider heel and midfoot to distribute your weight more evenly. The Primal 3 still utilizes our signature IBR outsole for a lightweight, flexible feel!

With fit and feel in mind, we've listened to your feedback and made the Primal 3 available in half sizes, because when it comes to comfort, we believe every inch counts!

Speaking of comfort, our new recycled PU insole takes things up a notch. At 4.5mm thick, its breathable materials ensures comfort in every step.

And fear not, loyal fans – while the Primal 3 boasts exciting new features, we've kept the upper consistent with the beloved Primal 2. That's right – the same unbeatable comfort you know and love, now with even more sizing options to ensure the perfect fit for every foot!

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 wide toe box and flexible design. Many reviews mention the roomy fit accommodates natural foot movement while maintaining a snug heel. Common feedback includes praise for the lightweight feel and breathable materials. While most find them perfect right out of the box, some note they may need to size up half a size. Frequent comments address the versatility for daily wear, walking, and casual activities. The cork insole receives positive mentions for comfort, though some prefer wearing them without it. Repeat purchasers often own multiple pairs, highlighting their satisfaction with the updated design and durability.

    My first barefoot shoes

    I researched for weeks, finally settling on the LEMS brand and bought two pairs—white and dark blue—of the Primal 3. They were a perfect fit. I am home and barefoot most of the time these days in order to strengthen my feet and the natural arch. After YEARS wearing orthotics in my athletic shoes, I’m now looking at shoes differently after learning about toe-spread, and shoes‘ direct impact on causing bunions. (Sorry for all the blame formerly cast onto my mother!) I’m training in these shoes now in preparation of walking in Europe soon, and I acknowledge every step’s difference with the way my feet strike the ground. I’m so pleased and would love some “dress shoes” by LEMS too. I would definitely buy these again. A man at church yesterday actually noticed them and asked if I were wearing barefoot shoes. Haha—another “aware” person.

    Happy feet!

    I love the wide toe box, the hug at the ankles, and the proper support of the insole. Great support all around and I love the overall look of the shoe.
