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.

FULL RUBBER OUTSOLE WITH ZIG-ZAG SIPING

This brand new, sticky rubber outsole incorporates 4mm deep lugs for incredible traction on snow, mud, and everywhere in-between! The built in zig-zag grooves (siping) provide additional biting edges to cut into ice/snow and helps ground your feet in slippery situations.

100% WATERPROOF UPPER

With its fully waterproof membrane and gusseted tongue, the Boulder Summit will keep your feet dry and warm, especially after a day on the slopes or slogging through slush on your way to the bar!

ZERO-DROP

Places the forefoot and heel close 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.

Love My Lems
I bought my Lems boots because I wanted a leather zero drop boot for working in my shop and working around our rural homestead. These looked well made and I really liked the soles. I wasn’t disappointed! For my feet and my bad knees, they are very comfortable! I have only worn them a week so can’t speak to their durability, but it looks like they will hold up well. So far so good. They offer lots of room in the toe box and have been comfortable during short, four mile walks on paved and unpaved terrain. They look good too.

Great winter hiking boots
I love, love my new boots! They seem to be very well built and the leather is beautiful. I have a pair of older Boulder Boots that I like the styling better for everyday wear but the toe box is too restrictive for hiking. I ordered this particular style (Boulder Summit) because of the wider toe box design. I also ordered a 1/2 size up to get the amount of toe box room I want - no restriction on my toes (sides or tops) and room for my Correct-Toes inserts. It does add a bit of overall length to the boot but because these are for winter/snow use, I just double-sock when hiking or wearing w/o Correct-Toes. So far I've hiked up to 5 miles in snow and and they fit and felt fantastic right out of the box. No rub spots or need to break in the leather. The top of the boot dug into my leg a bit when fully laced so I unlaced the top eyelet on either side and tied my boots at the second eyelet down which made the boots very comfortable.
Initially, I had to send back the first two pairs due to defects but thankfully the exchange was friendly, fast and easy with their "Happy Returns" system (and no cost to return! That's a HUGE positive!!) This made all the difference in my experience. Good customer service/product support is as valuable as the product itself.
I am very happy with my replacement pair and very happy with how the exchanges were handled.
If Lems offers other styles with a nice roomy toe-box (still could use a bit more especially in the toe box height to avoid having to…

I have a love affair with these boots
I do a lot of activities that require boots but I’m not really a “boot girl”. I have long wished for a pair of boots that was comfortable and suited my needs. In addition, having suffered most of my adult life from a bunion and hammer toe caused by many years of wearing inappropriate mainstream shoes, I only wear barefoot and zero-drop foot-shaped shoes now. Enter these boots. I needed something warm, waterproof, barefoot friendly, and durable. I can not express how grateful I am that I took the plunge and bought these boots. They are as comfortable as tennis shoes. They are very warm and indeed waterproof. And, they’re classy looking enough to pair with jeans and a sweater. If you’re on the fence—-just buy them!
Side note, I wear a size 8 in every shoe I have ever owned in my entire life, but when I ordered size 8 in these, I had to return for 8 1/2.
