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.

Super Comfortable
I've worn the Men's Primal Eco for a few weeks right now, and overall I love these shoes! This is my first pair of wide toe-box shoes, and I'm a total convert. I have noticed that there are some threads fraying around the sides vent of the shoe that makes me slightly worried about how long they'll last, but I' definitely would recommend these shoes if you're at all curious!

Some good changes, but too narrow
Many improvements over primal 2, I think it looks better and the toe cap doesn't get beat up as quickly. However, the way the new outsole wraps up the shoe has made it feel a lot narrower. Even though I can finally go a half-size up to to fit my foot's length better, there's less width for my heel and midfoot which has caused some pressure points that makes standing in these for extended periods of time painful.

Curling with Primal Eco
Have several pairs of Lems shoes so when I decided to go with a custom curling shoe because of an ankle issue I had to make it a Lems shoe. Opted for the Primal Eco and love the feel it gives me on the ice. Surprisingly warm too.
