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.

snug and narrow
its nice shoes and idea is good to have leather version, however, IMO they are more short and also more narrow in toe box compared to regular Primal zen. be careful when choosing the size

Great quality, but short
I usually wear either a 11.5 or 12. As I wanted to use these as 3-season shoes, I went for the 12 to allow room for thicker socks. The width is fine, but the lenth(12) was borderline for a couple of toes on my bigger foot. Being a leather shoe that usually adapts over time, I opted to keep and wear them. Weeks later, I can only wear them with thin or no socks, and not for extended periods. I'm way past the return option, and they now feel expensive for what I expected to get out of them and won't. So, if you've any doubt, go larger.
I would only recommend these with the warning that sizing is inconsistent with other brands I've bought.
