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.

Great Sandal!
I want everyone that is half size like me to know not to size up. I'm an 11.5 in trailheads, the 11s fit perfect. My to aligns exactly with the footprint on sandal. My foot measures 11 inches (27.94 cm) heel to toe. The sandal fits my wide foot and the switch back system is awesome. The toe thong thing doesn't even bother me like normal flip flops.

Out of the Box Impression
Quality looks great and fit is excellent. I wear a US 11.5 and sized up to US 12 as suggested. This matches the fit I have in the Chillum shoes which I've been wearing for a year and a half.
Going on a trip to Asia tomorrow for three weeks so I will give an updated review after putting this shoe through it's paces. So far so good - nice job Lem's team.
Best,
Michael Fernandez
