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.

Best insole option.
I have purchased these Cork insoles for my other shoes following wearing them in my slide ons from Lems.
They form to your foot quickly, reduce hot spots, manage barefoot wear quite well, and overall just “feel” better for my feet.

thinnest cork insole
I bought the cork insole to replace a worn pair in my LEMS chukkas. The 4.5mm is the thinnest offered and felt this would be adequate. I installed them and next morning the chukkas felt very tight, uncomfortably so. Much to my surprise, I had to remove the cork insoles. I did not expect the thinnest cork insoles would cause this.
