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.

FULL RUBBER OUTSOLE WITH ZIG-ZAG SIPING

This brand new, sticky rubber outsole incorporates 4mm deep lugs for incredible traction on snow, mud, and everywhere in-between! The built in zig-zag grooves (siping) provide additional biting edges to cut into ice/snow and helps ground your feet in slippery situations.

100% WATERPROOF UPPER

With its fully waterproof membrane and gusseted tongue, the Boulder Summit will keep your feet dry and warm, especially after a day on the slopes or slogging through slush on your way to the bar!

ZERO-DROP

Places the forefoot and heel close 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 boots!
These boots have been fantastic. Very comfortable, lightweight, waterproof, slip resistant and they fit well. A couple days after I got these boots, we got 2-3 feet of snow overnight. I was outside for 6 hours in snow, slush, ice, and cold and they held up great.

Very comfortable
I am on my second pair because I wore out the heels from wearing them everyday for a year. They are very comfortable. I wear them to walk around the city and hiking. I wish they could be resoled since the upper was still intact.

Bought these because BB Grips were out of stock in 15.
Wear these for work. Can tell you the Boulder Boot Grip is a better boot as a daily work boot. They grip roofs, other smooth surfaces, and ice and snow much better than these Boulder Summits. The Boulder Summit is a nice, durable, all around HIKING BOOT or mild weather work boot, but if you are looking for the best work boot Lems has to offer, get the Boulder Boot Grip for most situations. I've used Lems extensively for work, hiking, and hunting the since 2020. The Summit is a good three season hiker made for gripping rocky trails, not ice and slippery wet floors. All that said, they still perform better than most shoes on roofs etc, but grab a lot more mud and track in more dirt when moving in and out of buildings. The BB Grip is more ideal. There is a reason landscapers wear wedge boots with tread that does not carry mud. In all fairness, this is not advertised as a work boot, and most people would be happy with it as a good looking, every day boot. Have had a lot of compliments on them. They will serve the purpose until the Boulder Grip is back in stock in 15.
