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.

RUGGED UPPER

The upper is made of durable materials that stand up to the abuses of trails, and also daily wear and tear.

MOUNTAIN-TO-TOWN OUTSOLE

Engineered with a low profile rubber tread that combines the best of both worlds: ample traction on trails, AND excellent durability on pavement.

LOW HEEL DROP

With 4mm of drop, compared to the traditional 12mm of drop, the Trailhead naturally decreases heel-striking for a more natural gait and healthier posture.

FIRM CUSHIONING

When your foot is on too soft of cushion, you end up with pain and discomfort. We've formulated a firm EVA midsole that'll keep your feet happy all day long.

This is my 4th pair of Trailheads and I love them all
Bought my first pair of Trailheads about 2 years ago. Quickly decided that it was the only shoes that really felt good on my feet any more. I bought them in 4 different colors and love all of them. Pretty much the only shoes that I wear every day now. Durability has been very good for me. Almost no signs of wear on even my oldest pairs of them. Not sure if you are supposed to but I have been putting mine in the washing machine to clean them and have not had any issues.

Comfortable open toe box shoe option
I found this open toe box shoe design to be comfortable and still stylish. I've owned a couple other open toe box shows by other companies and wasn't very satisfied. I will be buying these again. Follow the recommend sizing guidelines

Great Shoe - A little small...
I have really loved my Outlander boot and thought I would try out the trailhead. I love the shoe's construction; it seems well-made and should work well hiking and hitting the town. I am disappointed, however, in the fit of the shoe. My Outlander is a Men's 9.5 and fits perfectly, so I ordered the same size. The whole shoe is slightly cramped, like it has been sized down from the Outlander fit. I wish I had ordered a 1/2 size up. Love the shoe, just wish it was bigger.
