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.

The best!
As I have said before, the Primal Zen shoes are the most comfortable shoes I've ever worn and these are just another good option of a great shoe.

Great shoe in a sleek material
This is my 2nd pair of Primal Zens—1st in suede. I love the shoe, and I love even more that half sizes are now offered. I don’t really own suede anything, so it has been an adjustment to see how they respond to the elements. Unfortunately, even a little bit of dew/moisture seems to be staining to some degree, which is admittedly annoying, but I suppose that’s just what I get for deciding to get suede shoes. The next pair I’m eyeing are the leather Primal Zens. I feel they may fare better around dawn or dusk when the grass starts to get wet. Overall, though, a great, breathable and comfortable shoe with plenty room for your toes to wiggle around. I take out the insoles and wear them without the moment I get them and I love the “ground feel” I get with all my Lems. Hard pressed to ever look elsewhere for shoes when I love Lems as much as I do!

Great fit
I previously had a pair of the synthetic version which are a great shoe, but I always thought that it should be in leather... and there it is... can't really suggest any more improvements.
