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.

COLLAPSABLE HEEL

The microfiber heel pops down for quick slipper style access! Looking for added support? Simply flip it back up and the Drifter transforms back to a traditional slip on.

CORK FOOTBED

By adding an ultra-thin 0.8mm cork top layer, your foot will be feeling the benefits of natural coolness and comfort, with or without socks.

ZERO-DROP

Places the forefoot and heel flat 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.

Great
I was looking for a barefoot-style shoe (zero-drop, wide toe box) that I could wear with supportive orthotics. These have been great. I did have to order a half-size larger than I usually wear. They're comfortable, easy to slip on and off, and helpful as I transition to barefoot-style shoes. I think I'll spray some Nikiwax on them to help the canvas last longer.

Mixed feeling
The shoes feel great on my feet, but the unremovable tag on the upper part of the shoe rubbed a terrible blister on tops of both of my feet. It took a week for the blisters to heal and made all of my other shoes uncomfortable as well. I tried to remove the label but it is not stitched in place it is physically part of the shoe. The material of the label is made of a polymer that creates a great deal of friction with the top of the foot…so unlike the breathable fabric that makes up the rest of the shoe. I’m disappointed in this purchase and am afraid to wear the shoes again. I don’t feel I can return them because I wore them to work for a full day and no longer have the box. I don’t feel these shoes were meant for someone with a high volume foot. Lesson learned.

Super comfortable!
These are so comfortable and I love that I can fold the heel down if I need to put them on in a hurry. Reviews said they might slide off a narrow heel but that has not been the case for me- they feel great. I was also worried the wide toe box would look awkward, as this is my first pair of wide toe box shoes, but actually I love the look because since I have large feet for a woman, more narrow shoes accentuated that, whereas these make my feet look more proportional. I love everything about these!
