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.

Basically as described
In general they are as described but I wish there was a wider version. They are wide for "normal" sizes but I've always had to buy extra wide shoes to feel comfortable. These fit but give more of a snug feeling on my foot without a lot of space to spread my toes etc.

Primal 3
Love these primal 3s, feet more engaged in walking, resulting in awareness of feet and toes and balance.
wake up your feet and enjoy walking with cause. i will pretty much only wear these shoes from now on. I bought 1 pair and then ordered another when i figured out these are the only shoes i want to wear.
