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.

Finally a shoe that makes sense
I can only speak to my first impressions of the shoe as Ive just recieved them today. Simply put, unlike most shoes these make sense. Not all feet will fit theyre profile but for my deep heel, low volume wide forefoot these are perfect. My heel remains locked in creating a stable platform and my toes have room to splay.
The constitution is as good as any shoe I've seen even those far more expensive, not a stitch out of place.
I've been wearing zero drop "minimalist"shoes for 12 years and wanted something with a bit more cushion and structure without the mindless drop of most shoes. None of the brands I've tried actually provided a wide toe box without also being incredibly high volume. It was impossible to get the shoes tight enough that they didn't flop around. Not the Lems, this shoe is wide enough for full toe splay while also being low volume so even after it stretches ill still be able to keep it snug for a proper fit.
I haven't been this excited about a product in a very long time and I'm looking forward to seeing how they break in.
