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.

I'm torn.
I choose these boots because they were advertised as having their widest toebox.
When I got the boots, I could barely get them on. They were snug from all sides. The website suggested removing the insole, which helped, but bothered me, as I felt that not using the insole would prematurely wear out the boot. I contacted Lems via chat, and she suggested I return them for a larger size. But the length wasn't the problem. I decided to wear them around the office for a couple days while I decided. But no matter how careful I was, the suede outer was getting scuffed. And the website mentioned several times that if the boots were not returned in new condition, they would be donated to charity and I would lose out on my refund. So I'm keeping them. They have broken in a bit, but I don't think I'll be able to wear them with anything thicker than dress socks. I bought them for a Danube Christmas Market river cruise next December. I hope they are warm enough.
I don't think I would recommend them to someone with wide feet like me, but they might be alright for someone who can buy shoes without trying them on first.

Great boot
This is a great boot. I just wish the top of the boot where your instep is was lower and not so loose.

New Favorite Boots
I've been wearing these since the day I got them. Super comfortable, great for rain or snow, and look great as well.
