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.

Users appreciate the sturdy construction and comfortable feel right out of the box, though several mention wanting more neutral color options.

Well made shoe
I bought these shoes to help me with issues I have been experiencing with plantar fasciitis. So far, so good. The shoes are well-made, comfortable, flexible out of the box, sturdy, and roomy. I also ike the design and colors - they are attractive.

Pretty good shoe
I have several pairs of lems and while I like the trail blazer, they are not my favorite. I'm using them for hiking in the summer instead of the Outlander. I much prefer the fit of the Outlander because they seem to have a bit wider toe box.

Happy New Lems customer!
Very comfortable-wearable all day. I recommend the Trail Blazer to anyone. Give them a try-you’ll be glad you did. The sizing is spot on-I’m an 11.5D/M -it’s a perfect fit.
