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.

Extremely comfortable!
I believe that with the addition of this Primal Zen that I now have 4 pair. I actually ordered
a half size larger with this purchase. My toes have been spreading and the half size increase
is 'extremely comfortable'!
There remains some sole on the other 3 pair, so I will wear them once the weather warms
again and all future Primal Zen's will be in the 1/2 size larger for my expanding toes.
When temps are around 45 or above I wear the Primal Zen's everyday at work. I work outside on
a concrete floor. I really love the cork insole! They are just as comfortable when I take them off at
the end of a day. Keep making the 'Primal Zen'!

Great shoes- better than expected
I was hopeful these would be worth it and as described, and they beat my expectations. I love them! The cork sole is perfect as I don’t like memory foam soles and the toe width is amazing. You don’t realize how cramped your toes are in other shoes until you put a pair like these on. I have already started recommending to others and will be ordering another pair in the future!

Great shoes
I had to exchange my first pair for a half size up. Lems made that process easy. I took the shoes to UPS along with the return code from Lems. I received notice right after that saying they would send my exchange as soon as they got the first pair back. Within a just a few days my new pair arrived. They are super comfortable and fit perfectly. Plus they are pretty darn cute!! I love having the wider toe box which is why this brand was recommended by Dr Yoni Whitten, whose advice I value because he puts a lot of effort into showing seniors how to improve their balance. Having room to spread your toes, plus not walking on a big squishy sole greatly improves that balance...I have learned that from experience and I am so grateful to find this brand. They have the perfect combination to imorove our balance and well being.
