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.

Finally the right size
I've been wearing Lems for over ten years. I recently bought nine2fives, size 13, which fit. The sole is higher than earlier models, and required some adjustment to prevent the ankle from turning (as Lems seems to have moved away from "barefoot"). The problem is sizing across models. I began with 48, but that changed. I was advised to try 15, but that was far too large and delivery times to France prevented returning them to the U.S. I'm still trying to sell them at half-price, but no takers. I then bought the same (russet and waterproof b boots) in size 14, which fit. So I ordered nine2fives in 14, but they were huge. (Lems shipping has improved, so I was able to send them back, at my expense.) And ordered these Lems, which cost just over $200 including shipping, customs, and 20% French value-added tax on retail price + shipping price + customs amount. Conclusion: good shoes, better than the previous two models, but with far more cushioning than before. Also, these are dry-weather shoes because they can slip on any smooth wet surfaces.
