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.

New favorite shoes.
First time trying Lems and I’m a customer for life, as long as these hold up well. Maybe the most comfortable shoe I’ve worn. I hope they continue to make this model and add even more color ways. Love them!

Almost a Miss from Lems
I have been in the market for a solid trail shoe for a hot minute and when I saw Lems release the trailhead, I knew I had to pick some up. My previous experience with Lems come from their Chelsea boot, the Outlanders, and the Primal 2s. I loved all of those previous shoes as they fit me incredibly well and performed great for the reason I bought them.
I picked up the Trailheads to act as my new daily shoe outside of the gym. I would use these for less strenuous hikes, disc golf, and work as well as daily movement. These shoes do those well but the narrow size of the shoe really sucks. I wear a 10.5 in most shoes including all of my other Lems and the Trailheads pinch my toes in with a size 10.5.
Overall, the shows look and perform well but they lack comfort due to the size. Maybe a half size up would help.

Great quality
These are my first pair of Lems. Really happy with them. They feel well made and I think they will last the test of time.
