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.

FULL RUBBER OUTSOLE WITH ZIG-ZAG SIPING

This brand new, sticky rubber outsole incorporates 4mm deep lugs for incredible traction on snow, mud, and everywhere in-between! The built in zig-zag grooves (siping) provide additional biting edges to cut into ice/snow and helps ground your feet in slippery situations.

100% WATERPROOF UPPER

With its fully waterproof membrane and gusseted tongue, the Boulder Summit will keep your feet dry and warm, especially after a day on the slopes or slogging through slush on your way to the bar!

ZERO-DROP

Places the forefoot and heel close to the ground correcting posture, aligning your spine, and encouraging mid-foot strike.

WIDE TOE BOX

Unlike traditional footwear that squeeze the toes together, our foot-shaped toe box allows for maximum room giving the toes ultimate freedom to wiggle and spread.

So comfortable!
I am in between a 7.5 and 8 so I was nervous to keep the 8s as they are a little loose. I kept them an they had zero break in time and are so comfortable, I don't want to wear any other shoes!

Nice boots, but the sole is a bit too thick and rigid for my liking
Overall, I like these. They have a nice wide toe box (appreciably wider than the other versions of the Boulder boot), are indeed waterproof so far, and have nice traction on the outsole. They also keep my feet warm in cold weather. I used the Lem's sizing chart to pick a size and the fit is good. However, the sole is thicker and more rigid than I would like. As a new wearer of barefoot shoes and also a farmer, I thought this would be a beneficial feature, that these boots would be a helpful transitional shoe that would give me some of the benefits of barefoot shoes but still cushion and support my feet on uneven ground. However, after a few weeks I've noticed that I prefer shoes with a thinner and more flexible sole than these have. Something about having all that sole underfoot encourages me to plonk my feet down harder in a way I didn't really expect, and sometimes I think I have more foot pain wearing these than I do in thinner-soled shoes. I might still keep them for winter wear or something, but in the meantime I am shopping around for boots with a thinner sole. I doubt I would readily recommend these to anyone unless they spent a lot of time on pavement.
