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.

No Regrets
I was hesitant to purchase online, but so glad I did. These shoes are lightweight but the sole is sturdy and stable. The padding around the ankle is comfortable and keeps my heel in place.

Perfect Fit for Greece Trip
After trying an 8.5 in the Primal Zen and having my right big toe hit the end I switched out for the Primal Eco in a 9. These do run small because I'm normally an 8.5 in athletic shoes. Exactly what I need for my trip to Greece in June '25. So happy for my choice.

Comfy, sturdy, decent heel support
OK, I got these because my Primal 3s slip too much in the heel and these have more heel support (I have relatively low volume feet). This is true, but I still find I often have to tighten the laces. They have a thicker-feeling, sturdier sole than the regular Primals, and it took me a while to get used to them. I felt like I was wearing flippers. I have to say, though, that now with cooler and wetter weather, I've been wearing them more than my regular Primals, and I'm getting quite used to them. I can see hanging out in these for a while. Make them in more colors - like green!
