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.

FULL RUBBER OUTSOLE WITH ZIG-ZAG SIPING

This brand new, sticky rubber outsole incorporates 4mm deep lugs for incredible traction on snow, mud, and everywhere in-between! The built in zig-zag grooves (siping) provide additional biting edges to cut into ice/snow and helps ground your feet in slippery situations.

100% WATERPROOF UPPER

With its fully waterproof membrane and gusseted tongue, the Boulder Summit will keep your feet dry and warm, especially after a day on the slopes or slogging through slush on your way to the bar!

ZERO-DROP

Places the forefoot and heel close to the ground correcting posture, aligning your spine, and encouraging mid-foot strike.

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.

Solid hiking boot, not as wide as Whitin
Though these shoes aren’t quite as spacious as my Whitin sneakers, they still accommodate my foot without squeezing my toes after some breaking in. They are well made and tick all the boxes for what I was looking for in a waterproof shoe. They keep my feet dry and comfortable. Haven’t crossed any streams in them yet but I expect they’ll preform well.

Going strong after a several years!
I live in Michigan and wore these on a hike yesterday. My friend loved them and asked where I’d gotten them, so I was happy to inform her that I’ve been sporting these boots for the last few years! I don’t usually leave reviews, but these are one of the few pairs of shoes that I always look forward to wearing. They’ve been with me through winter treks in the snow and summer walks in the woods. Perfect adventure shoes, extremely comfortable, and I can tell they’ll last me a while yet. Really pleased with this investment. They help me feel ready to take on everyday possibilities and delights :)

EMS/hiking
Will update as I break them in:
So far, so good... I'm a paramedic with bunions (tragically) and needed something wide-toed for work, and for a hiking trip. A cop friend has had good luck with them. I'm normally a women's 8, got an 8.5 because that was in stock. I think they'll fit well with the half size up and socks. Love the thick tread on the bottom. They look professional. I just stood in my bathtub and splashed them around and my feet remained dry. I'll be taking them out for some hikes and will update.
