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.

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.

Work
Bought these shoes for work. Started wearing wide toe box shoes and have been looking at these for sometime. Glad I decided to pay the extra money.

So Lems!
This shoe is everything I love about my other pairs of Lems...so comfortable with the wide toe box and minimalist design. The leather gives it a more stylish look that can be dressed up.

Perfect for Work!
I work in a coffee shop and am on my feet for several hours at a time, early in the morning and these shoes have been INCREDIBLE! They are the perfect marriage of ground feel and cushion and I'm so thankful I splurged and finally bought them. They are snug around the arch when first putting them on in the morning (which is really nice on a sensory level) and then relax into a very supple leather that moves with my feet all day. Actually can't wait to buy a cuter pair to wear in real life outside of work!
