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.

ENHANCED OUTSOLE

With its newly redesigned outsole, the Primal 3 features a wider footprint, offering improved weight distribution and stability.

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 correcting posture, aligning your spine, and encouraging mid-foot strike.

FLEXIBLE

Made from our signature IBR outsole, the Primal 3 is an ultra lightweight and flexible option compared to traditional footwear.

Great Shoes Almost Barefoot
I think the build quality was amazing. These offer great protection while being zero drop and having a wide toe box. They however are not barefoot shoes in the sense that the sole is way too firm. You don't get as much feedback from the ground.

Love so much I bought 2 more pairs!
I love these shoes. I have a wide foot and these are perfect for training, walking, just everything. It feels like I’m wearing nothing while also still being supportive. I bought the size 6.5 in men’s because I’m an 8 in women’s and they fit true to size! I have two pairs of the slate color and 1 pair in black. I wish there were more colors!

6 Month Review - Durability Issue?
I bought the Primal 3 to address foot pain I was having. The natural shape, wide toe box, and reduced support have worked to reduce the pain to zero. I initially had concerns about the durability of the mesh, but that has held up well (some creasing at the toe and heel). The real issue has been the sole and tread. I do not run and only walk a couple of miles per day so would have expected them to last. However, after only six months, the tread has worn down completely in the middle of the forefoot and under the heel it has nearly worn through. While the tops still look good, I'm at the point of already needing to replace these shoes. I would have expected them to last longer. While the shoe fits nicely , is comfortable and I like them, I am hard-pressed to recommend them because of the durability issue.
