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.

RUGGED RUBBER OUTSOLE

The full rubber outsole features 4mm lugs for incredible traction both on and off-road. The built in zig-zag siping helps dissipate water and maintain ground contact.

DURABLE MATERIALS

Crafted with perforated suede where the foot flexes, allowing for maximum comfort and mobility.

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.

ZERO-DROP

Places the forefoot and heel flat to the ground or pedal, correcting posture, aligning your spine, and encouraging mid-foot strike.

Reviews Summary

Customers say these shoes are extremely comfortable with a wide toe box and zero-drop design. Many appreciate the rugged sole that provides good traction for hiking and outdoor activities while maintaining a stylish, skate shoe appearance. Users frequently mention the excellent build quality and durability. Common feedback includes needing to size up a half size, as the shoes tend to run small. While most praise the width, some with very wide feet find the toe box narrower than expected compared to other models. The shoes work well for various activities including hiking, everyday wear, and light mountain biking. Many customers plan to purchase additional pairs in different colors.

The Men's Trail Thrasher is exactly what my husband needed
The Men's Trail Thrasher is exactly what my husband needed. He is 78 and likes to walk the trails. The shoes he was wearing before the Trasher came along, did not give him the stability he was preferring.

So comfortable.
These shoes are great! I'm very picky when it comes to trying new shoes. I'm on my feet all day and need something comfortable. These shoes have a wide toe box, which is great for neuroma relief. They seem durable, but won't know how durable for a while. I have been wearing the almost daily for about 2 months. It took a couple of weeks to really break them in, but now I don't want to take them off. Looking forward to trying them on some hiking trails.

Almost perfect
Was hoping they'd make a shoe like this and they've been awesome so far. Would be a perfect 5 star from me if they came with the much more comfortable cork insole and I would also like to have a finger loop on the heel
