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.

SLIP RESISTANT OUTSOLE

This shoe is equipped with a slip resistant, non-marking rubber outsole that utilizes zig-zag grooves and grippy textures to ensure your feet remain grounded in slippery situations.

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 Drifter Grip 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.

good quality but not as comfy as I expected
Although this is the right size, some how the toe box feels tight… maybe the leather needs to soften up, but I wish I sized up

great shoe
I like the newer design from Lems. I felt like the older version looked like a clown's shoe. This is just a better design. comfortable and easy to slip on.

Too narrow
I wear an 8 in primals and an 8.5 in the canvas drifters, which I love, but I’ve always wanted a leather pair for business casual wear. I was excited to see these released. I ordered 8s as recommended and they were uncomfortably narrow. I sized up to 8.5. There’s a little more play front to back than I’d like, and they’re still narrow enough to be uncomfortable. I’m really disappointed. I’m keeping them in the hopes they’ll stretch and widen, but I hope they release a wide version of these in the future.
