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 Outlander 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.

Great on trail and in town
Last summer I accidentally wore my Trailhead Sneakers on 7.5 mile hike after forgetting to change into my standard hiking boots at the trailhead. Turns out they were so comfortable I decided my next hiking footwear should be Lems. The Outlander waterproof boots are perfect. I just spent a week in Banff and wore them almost the entire time. I went on long hikes in snow and mud and then went out for dinner in town without changing shoes. They had great traction on steep, slippery trails, my feet stayed completely dry, and they repelled dirt/mud so they always looked clean. These are my fourth pair of Lems and might be my favorite so far.

Great shoes, awful laces!
From a few days of wearing these, I can say pretty confidently that I'm happy with the shoe itself.
That being said, my size 14 shoes shipped with 60" (5') laces made of a paracord-like material. These laces were barely long enough to be tied, and the material caused them to slip after only a minute or so of use.
I've now replaced the laces with 72" (6') ones, and the shoes are much better. That being said, shoes this expensive being shipped with laces which do not allow the shoes to be used properly is not ok.

These boots are unbelievable!!!!!!!
These boots have been awesome and I have worn them everyday at work for over 8 months. I walk about 10-12 miles a day on concrete floors and they have been awesome. Even took these to Utah and hike to the top of Angels Landing (elevation of 5,790’) and then we hike Bryce Canyon and these boots performed flawlessly and my feet did not hurt one bit. I did a quick video on my channel pictures is below. Size wise I went up 1/2 size for these boots.
