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.

Comfortable, but bad build quality after 1 month.
The glue holding the outsole to the body of the shoe is failing at the key bend point on the side of my shoe after 1 month of wearing these shoes 3-4 days a week. In addition the outsoles are wearing down quite a bit under the balls of my feet. Apparently build quality is not great in these shoes. However, they are very comfortable and fit my wide toes well. They do not fit loose and would not be suitable for high volume feet or wide feet. My Altra Lone Peaks have a lot more room than these.
Would I recommend these shoes? Maybe, but with the caveat that they just aren’t very durable. They’re good looking office shoes and pretty comfortable.
I wear Men’s size 14.

Everyday shoe
I’ve walked over 100 miles in these shoes and they are just as comfortable as the first day I put them on. The soles are durable and the fit is perfect.
