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.

LEATHER UPPER

We’ve utilized a full-grain leather upper to enhance the overall look and feel of the shoe. Date night? Business casual event? The Nine2Five has you covered.

IBR OUTSOLE

Injection blown rubber is a mixture of air and rubber that makes our minimalist shoes incredibly lightweight and flexible.

ZERO-DROP

Places the forefoot AND heel the same distance from the ground. No elevation, no pain, no complaints.

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.

Great shoe other than the loud insoles
It is the perfect foot-shaped dress shoe I was looking for. Very comfortable and looks great. I sozed up 1/2 a size. The only negative is that the cork insole causes an obnoxiously loud squeaking noise. I reached out to LEMS about the issue and received no response. Upon my own research I found a solution: placing a dryer sheet underneath the cork insole eliminates the squeaking.

These are great!
Love the new style. A great replacement for my Cole Haan’s. It’s only week two but I walk a lot during the workday on our campus (walking meetings). The cork insole makes a very slight noise, which I hope will go away with time. Not loud or anything like George Costanza’s “swishy” pants episode if you’re a Seinfeld fan :)

More cozy than last version
I like them. One shoe squeaks because the insole doesn’t fit quite right so hopefully as it wears in it will be fine. Laces seem of less quality, but only time will tell. So far so good.
