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.

Comfort from the start
Grew up on 80s Sperry Topsiders and haven’t had boat shoes since. These shoes are a soft leather that doesn’t need a breaking in period. Roomy toe box but does not look like a clown shoe. This is my 8th pair of Lems and love these the most due to look, style and comfort. Want to get the blue ones next. Hoping for grey as a future color way.

My favorite shoes
I have waited a long time to enjoy a new pair of Mariners. I still wear my original pair, which are well worn and torn. The new Mariners are comfy and stylish, they can be worn for most occasions. Thank You Lems for bringing these shoes back, will be buying more.
