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.

Holding up well, not too bright or flashy
Overall, I'm satisfied with the Primal Zen. In the future, I will size up a half size. The placement of the stitching where the suede comes together above the toes is mildly annoying but that could possibly be resolved with correct sizing. (I ordered my normal size.) I like the mutted color combination, too. They aren't too bright or flashy. And they are holding up well so far.

Great for around town
I wore these for outings without long distances to beaks them in. I have wearing cheaper barefoot style shoes for almost a years and my 63yo feet have acclimated well overall. I love the feel of the cork insole but when I wear them now for longer walks with socks my toes hurt and when I wear them without my heels rub. I’m going to try them with an old pair of injinii toe socks and see how that feels.
