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.

great casual shoes
really comfortable right out of the box, so much room for my forefoot to spread, and incredibly light. i did not expect much padding between my feet and the ground, but there is a bit there to cushion against ridges or rocks. exactly what I was looking for as a business casual work shoe that is also good for my feet.

Compliment sandwich
TLDR; These shoes look and feel great in most situations. There is a lightness to them that is wonderful, and I rarely if ever experience the level of fatigue from standing for longer hours with them on. The fit comfortably if not a little wider than I anticipated in the main toe box.
My only difficulty at the moment is with ease of slipping on and off. With a lot of my other shoes it is much easier to pop them on and off, these feel much more secure and there for take a bit more effort to wiggle in and out of.
I think this is a reasonably good pair of shoes, and I have tried a number of the new school companies (Allbirds, etc...) I am waiting to see how they do in the longterm, 6+mo out of heavy use.

Wide shoes review
Seem like good shoes so far but still a bit narrow across the wide part of my foot. Toe room is ok.
