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.

Runs small but great shoe
Everyone is correct about them running small, all my other shoes range from size women’s US 8-9. I bought a 9.5 for this shoe and it fits perfectly, I’m so glad I listened to everyone saying size up! They seem like a nice daily lightweight shoe for walking, I will also wear them hiking since I like hiking in a tennis shoe.

Love the Primal Zen
From the moment I slipped them on I knew they were my new favorite shoe/brand. No breaking them in. Perfect in every way and the laces stay tied!! Fits true to size. Thanks for a great shoe. Since then, I purchased a Lem’s waterproof hiking shoe from Routes Outfitters who has a nice assortment of Lems in stock.

Pain Free Shoe
I have been having trouble with the "little" toe. Even my podiatrist could not figure it out.
A friend suggested I try the "wide toe box" shoe from your collection (she wears them) and it has been great.
No pain from that little toe--
