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.

Feeling Free
Not a fan of most shoes, usually wear sandals, but RTO requires my toes be covered, so I ended up buying Lems. Now, I understand why I do not care for most shoes, it is the toebox. When I'm wearing the Primal 3s my feet feel similar to how when I'm wearing my sandals, my toes are able to spread out and be free. Short of buying the individual toe shoes, I don't think it could get much closer. If you want cloud comfort, these are not it, I have tried more cushioned shoes, but you have zero feedback from the road, these are like a Lotus Elise and not a Cadillac. I'm looking forward to trying other models in the future. If anyone from Lems are reading this, please release a small batch for kids with sensory conditions, as I think they would do well for them, my son included.
Also, loved the story about how the business came about. The philosophy of if it doesn't exist then go out and create it, moved me. It motivated me to push towards my own ideas and business goals. Happy to support the brand.
