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.

PRIMAL 2 VS. PRIMAL 3 OVERVIEW

LEARN MORE

RUGGED UPPER

The upper is made of durable materials that stand up to the abuses of trails, and also daily wear and tear.

MOUNTAIN-TO-TOWN OUTSOLE

Engineered with a low profile rubber tread that combines the best of both worlds: ample traction on trails, AND excellent durability on pavement.

LOW HEEL DROP

With 4mm of drop, compared to the traditional 12mm of drop, the Trailhead naturally decreases heel-striking for a more natural gait and healthier posture.

FIRM CUSHIONING

When your foot is on too soft of cushion, you end up with pain and discomfort. We've formulated a firm EVA midsole that'll keep your feet happy all day long.

Love these shoes!!!
These shoes are fantastic! Comfortable right out of the box. No break in required. I’m used to Birkenstocks and these shoes are every bit as good and comfortable as my Birkenstock sandals and sneakers. With the added benefits of being more rugged and from Colorado! I’ll be buying different styles of Lems to add to my collection. Thanks!

Everything shoe
I used these shoes to walk 64 miles in Spain on the Camino del Norte. They performed great on varied terrain from asphalt, to rocky and ledge trails, sand, and dirt. It rained most of the time so the dirt trials turned to mucky soup. Although my feet got wet, with the correct socks I was not in discomfort. They dried out quickly and didn’t change shape. The tread held up marvelously and gripped well in the varied conditions. I am pleased with the shoes and would recommend them.
