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.

Reviews Summary

Customers say these shoes offer exceptional comfort with their wide toe box and flexible design. Many reviews mention instant comfort with no break-in period needed. Common feedback includes praise for the lightweight feel and all-day wearability, especially for those standing on concrete floors.

Shoes that give freedom to you feet!
I cannot tell you the last time I owned a pair of shoes that I didn't have to endure a "break-in" period where my feet and the shoes had to accommodate each other - the shoe stretching to the dimensions of my feet and my feet adjusting to the crimped nature of the shoes. This accommodating process was painful which I dreaded doing every time I bought a new pair of shoes. In fact, I have several pairs that I don't wear because I never got past the initial "break-in" period. Enter a new pair of Lems shoes. Absolutely no break-in period; no accommodating of shoe to feet or feet to shoe; no adjusting to a crimped toe box. These shoes are absolutely the best pair of shoes I have ever bought. They are comfortable. They allow my feet to breath and feel well supported. I like these shoes so much that I am looking to purchase the next pair of shoes for my wardrobe.

Primal 3
The Primal 3 fits like I'd hope it would. The shoe fits true to size, with plenty of room in the toe box.
