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.

SOFT SUEDE UPPER

Utilizing a full suede upper with perforations for breathability, this pair provides supreme comfort all day long.

ULTRA LIGHTWEIGHT

Our proprietary IBR outsole is what makes Lems incredibly lightweight and flexible - giving your foot the sense of weightlessness.

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.

Lens does it again!
Excellent wide toe box fit. True to size. Love the cork insole. Don’t care for the loops on the back to pull the shoes on, wish those were left off. Overall really like these shoes! Seventh pair of Lems shoe in my fleet!

attractive, comfortable shoes
I wear toe sock liners and correct toes with regular socks . So I need a wide toe box. These shoes fit well and are comfortable to walk in, and look pretty good too. I wear these shoes for "dressier" occasions, when I do not want to wear athletic shoes. In consequence I have not worn them a lot yet and can not speak to how they hold up.

Love them buy consider sizing up
Cool shoes in sun ray color, but I had to return to get a half size larger than my normal. The Primal Eco fits me fine in 10.5 but Primal Zen Suede was too narrow in the middle so had to return for an 11. They hurt my foot after long periods of standing.
