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.

PRIMAL 2 VS. PRIMAL 3 OVERVIEW

LEARN MORE

RUGGED UPPER

The upper is made of durable materials that stand up to the abuses of trails, and also daily wear and tear.

MOUNTAIN-TO-TOWN OUTSOLE

Engineered with a low profile rubber tread that combines the best of both worlds: ample traction on trails, AND excellent durability on pavement.

LOW HEEL DROP

With 4mm of drop, compared to the traditional 12mm of drop, the Trailhead naturally decreases heel-striking for a more natural gait and healthier posture.

FIRM CUSHIONING

When your foot is on too soft of cushion, you end up with pain and discomfort. We've formulated a firm EVA midsole that'll keep your feet happy all day long.

Nice shoes!
I bought these for my son. He loves them. They were too small, though, so he returned them for the next size up. The exchange was easy and quick.

Very comfortable
I was worried about the width of the shoe, but the larger toe box saved the day. I’ll be getting more colors soon.

Best shoe in years!
Hands down the best shoes I've owned in years. You've got a devoted customer.
My only critique is I consider the mesh upper going back as far as the big toe joint as a big design flaw. I understand why; it give more movement without binding up. However, that extra movement means the mesh completely worn out in two months and I have a hole in each shoe. I think this is solved with either reinforcement or having the leather upper come togther as it does on the outer side of the shoe.
