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.

LEARN MORE

ENHANCED OUTSOLE

With its newly redesigned outsole, the Primal 3 features a wider footprint, offering improved weight distribution and stability.

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.

ZERO-DROP

Places the forefoot and heel flat to the ground correcting posture, aligning your spine, and encouraging mid-foot strike.

FLEXIBLE

Made from our signature IBR outsole, the Primal 3 is an ultra lightweight and flexible option compared to traditional footwear.

Incredibly light. Fellas like nothing is on the feet. Easily gets a bit dirty, but given that the color is /“marshmellow’ white, that kinda comes with the territory.

Lems are forever in my collection
I can’t say enough great things about these shoes. Perfect for my wide feet. Toes can splay naturally. No rubbing/blisters ever. Comfortable all around. I walk in these everyday!
I usually wear 10.5, but after trying both, the 11 felt best for me. All up to preference.

Amazing casual shoes
As a lifelong minimalist shoe user my forefoot is very wide but my overall fit volume isn't super high, the Primal 3 (without insoles) fit perfectly, they are extremely light and comfortable for all day wear and the material quality/construction is amazing. They feel like a very premium item and I adore them, the green colour I have is really beautiful.
