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.

Primal 2
I love the shoe -- it is super comfortable and light weight -- though I am not a fan of the round heel (too unstable) and I wish it didn't have arch support. In any case, I am sorry that this shoe is going to be discontinued, as the Primal 3 looks way too built up.

PLEASE DO NOT DISCONTINUE
The Primal 2 has been my only tennis shoe for 7 + years. I originally learned about them through the correct toes site and tried them on at a local shop. They have been perfect. However, the primal 3 is not. I have a bunion on one foot and I still get a blister after 5 months of wearing my first pair of Primal 3 if I don’t apply moleskin first. The problem is where the sole connects to the fabric top. There is not the same amount of room or flexibility in the toe box and when I wear my correct toes it’s worse. I don’t like the extra weight or rigidity. Did Lems sell out their original customers in the hopes of gaining a cross fit following?
