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.

Sizing
Good shoes but I'm not sure yet how they are going to hold up. If I find something I like then I will buy an extra pair or a different color, this is where I question the quality of the items.
I purchased the Men's Primal 3 in Olive, fit is perfect, wore them for a few days and decided they were good enough to spend on another pair, this time in Black for work shoes.
Unfortunately, they are quite different in size and fit, even though they are the same shoe, just a different color. I think they are probably a 1/2 size different which means poor quality control to me.
The black pair will get a fair beating at work, I do 15-20,000 steps a day working finish carpentry, 95% of the time indoors on hard surfaces so it's going to be a good test to see how they hold up.

Great shoe
I wear these shoes in OR as a CRNA. They are comfortable and ready to go out of the box. I brought a second pair to wear when I am not at work.
