Attention, Primal 2 enthusiasts! Get ready to refresh your footwear game with the all-new Primal 3. Designed with your feedback in mind, this latest iteration maintains many of the signature features of the Primal 2, such as a zero-drop platform and wide toe box, while also introducing exciting enhancements.

The difference is that we developed a new outsole on the Primal 3 with a wider footprint for more ground contact underneath the foot. It has a wider heel and midfoot to distribute your weight more evenly. The Primal 3 still utilizes our signature IBR outsole for a lightweight, flexible feel!

With fit and feel in mind, we've listened to your feedback and made the Primal 3 available in half sizes, because when it comes to comfort, we believe every inch counts!

Speaking of comfort, our new recycled PU insole takes things up a notch. At 4.5mm thick, its breathable materials ensures comfort in every step.

And fear not, loyal fans – while the Primal 3 boasts exciting new features, we've kept the upper consistent with the beloved Primal 2. That's right – the same unbeatable comfort you know and love, now with even more sizing options to ensure the perfect fit for every foot!

ENHANCED OUTSOLE

With its newly redesigned outsole, the Primal 3 features a wider footprint, offering improved weight distribution and stability.

ZERO-DROP

Places the forefoot and heel flat to the ground correcting posture, aligning your spine, and encouraging mid-foot strike.

FLEXIBLE

Made from our signature IBR outsole, the Primal 3 is an ultra lightweight and flexible option compared to traditional footwear.

Reviews Summary
Customers say these barefoot shoes are extremely comfortable right out of the box with no break-in period required. They feature a wide toe box that allows natural toe spreading and provides excellent room for wide feet. Many reviews mention the cork insole, which customers find supportive and helps keep feet dry. Users appreciate the lightweight feel and describe wearing them for various activities including gym workouts, daily walking, and all-day wear. Several customers note they've purchased multiple pairs and consider these their go-to shoes. Common feedback includes praise for durability and construction quality. Some mention sizing runs slightly small and recommend ordering a half size up. A few users note reduced ground feel compared to previous models, and one customer experienced early sole separation that required self-repair.

    My favorite shoe

    I’m now on my fifth pair of these, they are the only minimalist athletic shoe I have found that checks all the boxes for me.

    Sweet Spot

    Happy thus far. Most trail shoes (other than runners) are gortex which rules out 90% of the options. Most 0 drop shoes look like clown shoes or feel like a ballerina flat with no protection. Lems look normal and I can actually walk on a gravel path without feeling like every single stone is bruising my feet. I also appreciate the lack of an heel counter as many end up hurting my Achilles. Assuming these don’t fall apart I’ll buy more in the future.

    So far so good

    I've only worn them a few times since receiving but so far so good. I enjoy wearing zero drop shoes and these feel like they give just enough of a feel of support and not too much of feeling like there's nothing between my feet and the ground. I usually wear a size 10 but went 10.5 just to be sure and I'm fine with it. Time will tell.
