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.

Best new shoe AND no blisters!!
Wow what a shoe. First pair were a bit small and they swapped out for 1/2 size larger very quickly. My first day in these ended up having to do a long walk followed by a 3 hour auditorium standing room only stint. Then a long walk back. My feet are normally quite sensitive to discomfort and fatigue BUT thees gems did AMAZING! Never felt any discomfort, fatigue or blisters!!

Good Quality Shoe - Gave Instant Blisters
The shoe is a good quality leather. Feels comfortable right out of the box. However, within 5 minutes of walking I had blisters on my heels that were bleeding. Not sure if the shoe or my feet are to blame, but these will take more break in time for me than other Lems I have owned like the nine2five. That's my experience with the Mariner's, for what it's worth. The toe box is wide and feels good, I just wish the shoes were slightly wider at the ball of the foot.
