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.

LIGHTWEIGHT & FLEXIBLE

Our proprietary IBR outsole is what makes Lems incredibly lightweight and flexible - giving your foot the sense of weightlessness.

LEATHER UPPER

We’ve utilized a full-grain leather upper to enhance the overall look and feel of the shoe. Date night? Business casual event? The Primal Zen Leather has you covered.

ZERO-DROP

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

Runs small but great shoe
I find all Lems require me to size up 1/2 to 1 full size above what I normally wear but these shoes are great otherwise. They have just enough cushion for my aging feet, plenty of ground feel. My toes are no longer crowded. I have advanced osteoarthritis in both knees & was having considerable chronic pain which severely limited my activity. Now that I’ve been wearing Lem’s for about a year my pain is only occasional & I have been able to resume many of my normal activities. The arthritis is still there but I can move about much more & sleep undisturbed by pain. I love my Primal Zen!

They are incredibly comfortable and perfect for the wet weather. I wish I’d found Lem’s years ago.
