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.

Better than I Imagined
These shoes are comfortable and stylish. My feet feel great in them, exactly what I hoped for. I will buy more shoes from LEMS!

One big minus!
Everything about the shoe was great, except the covering over the toe box, which I think is called the vamp or toe vamp. Having a pair of Trailheads, I expected a similar type of material. However, it is very thin on the Primal Zens, in so much as to be able to see one's toes. I suppose it would be great for summer, but in cooler weather it gets pretty chilly. Perhaps it is my error, but I ended up with a warm season pair of great shoes.

Great shoes but one flaw, sizing.
I ordered size 10-1/2, my regular size. Perfect fit, till I started to walk. My toes touched the front, and comparing them with other shoes I have it showed that the Primal Zen was 1/4in shorter.
Then I ordered the size 11. Perfect length but slightly too wide. Not an issue for my use but surely wouldn't want them as walking shoes.
My review is based on getting one size up, 11, and not on the 10-1/2
Surely I can't understand why they are shorter.
