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.

Bring back the v2!!!
I had 2 pairs and both let go on the toe stitch where it starts or ends; they come undone / untied. Both came undone after 1 year of having them, around the same month. Nonetheless I am wanting to buy more pairs because I like the style!!!

I'm begging you!
I see from the other reviews that I'm not the only Lems Mariner fan who's still heartbroken you don't make them anymore. The Mariner in Sonora colorway is the only really GREAT barefoot/minimalist blucher/camp moc substitute I have ever found. I even spent $370 (and 9 months) having a pair of Russells made, and they're really nice--but I still like the Mariners better! I'll make you a promise right now that if you ever bring them back, I will buy 5 pairs just to be on the safe side! Pretty please?
