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.

VEGAN MATERIALS

Comprised of microfiber and breathable air mesh, we made sure that all materials, down to the laces and glue, are 100% vegan.

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.

Amazing shoe, durable and one of the comfiest I've ever owned.
I bought this shoe almost 3 years ago now and they are still going strong. They are my everyday shoe that I wear around town, on trails and to the gym. Extremely comfy and super durable. I bought them in asphalt and despite wearing them literally everywhere for 3 years, they've held up great and are still in good condition. The tread on the bottom is still holding up as well. I love the shape and fit -- when wearing them, they don't look like some of the weird barefoot shoes out there. After trying these, I've become a loyal Lems customer and I just bought some of the Chelsea boots to try out!

Love this shoe, it is my go to for walking. The cork insert is a really nice addition. Nothing but good things to say.

Great Shoes!
These shoes are very comfortable, I could wear them all day! I go for long walks and my feet don't hurt at all, so nice! They are a bit wide for my narrow feet, but you get used to it and it doesn't effect how they fit or wear.
