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.

COLLAPSABLE HEEL

The microfiber heel pops down for quick slipper style access! Looking for added support? Simply flip it back up and the Drifter transforms back to a traditional slip on.

CORK FOOTBED

By adding an ultra-thin 0.8mm cork top layer, your foot will be feeling the benefits of natural coolness and comfort, with or without socks.

ZERO-DROP

Places the forefoot and heel flat 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.

Great shoe, but not canvas
I got two pairs of the Drifter in green and blue. The blue Drifters quickly sported a hole where my big toe hits the top of the inside. I've had the green Drifters longer than the blue Drifters, and it still hasn't sported a hole. Nevertheless, I am not going to buy any more canvas shoes because my big toes naturally curve upwards and I really need a durable and long lasting shoe that will not develop a hole where the big toes hit. I shall try the suede Laguna and hope that lasts even longer even though I prefer LEATHER, not suede. It's unfair that men have more shoe choices for LEMS shoes. Also, the canvas shoes fade significantly and I dislike being limited to canvas or suede. Please give us women more choices!

The best
Purchased these as a replacement for my classic slip on Vans and I should have done this years ago! I can comfortably work 8 hours on my feet without discomfort, and the size recommendation is spot on. (Usually wear 8.5 purchased a 9)
