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.

Reviews Summary

Customers say these shoes are exceptionally comfortable with a wide toe box that allows toes to spread naturally. Many appreciate the zero-drop design and cork insoles, though some find the insoles make putting shoes on with socks difficult. Users report excellent comfort for all-day wear, walking, hiking, and gym activities. The shoes require no break-in period for most people. Common feedback includes praise for the lightweight, breathable design and stylish appearance. Some mention durability concerns with sole wear over time, and a few note sizing inconsistencies between versions. Many customers become repeat buyers, with several owning multiple pairs in different colors.

Wide Even for My Wide Foot!!
After searching & searching, I finally found Lem’s Primal 3 with shoes wide enough & very comfortable. Their customer service folks are EXTREMELY helpful! I have purchased 2 pairs & am trying to decide on which color I would like next! After finding such great shoes, I wonder what my next adventure will be!

Perfect replacement for my beloved Racer Escalantes
First off, I usually wear a 9.5 in athletic shoes and I had to size up to a 10 for these. I like the minimal cushion in the soul, the flexible, heel and the lateral support without feeling constrictive. I’m someone who also likes to wiggle their toes up and down, and there is enough headspace in this issue for me to be able to do that unlike the vivos that I have tried, I bought two pairs of these shoes, one for every day and workouts and the other for my job as a nurse. The break in time has been zero. Looking forward to more color ways.
