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.

Deceptively well-fitting
At first I thought these were going to be too narrow, like every other shoe I've tried over the years... But once I had my foot all the way in, they were miraculously roomy! Just the right shape for my foot.

Not a Fan
The only reason I'm giving it such a high rating is because they seem well made and I'm sure others will like them. I only wanted to try it out since the Primal 3 does not work for me and I wanted something more similar to the 2. The people at Lems told me this was like the Primal 2 with more cushion, but I didn't feel that was accurate so I'm returning them. They are much tighter in my opinion. And it feels like there is a pronounced arch, so it doesn't feel zero drop like a barefoot should. It's also much stiffer. I did try to remove the insole to compare and while it did allow more space, it caused the arch to jab into my foot even more.
