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.

VEGAN MATERIALS

Comprised of microfiber and breathable air mesh, we made sure that all materials, down to the laces and glue, are 100% vegan.

ULTRA LIGHTWEIGHT

Our proprietary IBR outsole is what makes Lems incredibly lightweight and flexible - giving your foot the sense of weightlessness.

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.

Comfy shoes
These are wonderful for walking and wearing around town. The soles are not designed for heavy duty hiking and rocky trails but nice for smoother paths. I love the wide toe box for my wider feet. I have received several compliments on the style and people want to know where I got these shoes. They are different from the normal Nike, New Balance or Hola shoes that you see a lot of. I like wearing a more unique brand.

Comfy, but runs small
I like how light weight and comfy they are, but they run a full size too small. I ordered a half size up, and they are still a bit small.

Great tennis shoe.
I really love my LEMS boots so I wanted to try their tennis shoe for working out at the gym and shopping around town. They are cute and fit wide and comfy like my other LEMS. The laces really stay tied which is nice. I size up my LEMS and these were no different. Very comfy.
