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.

TRAIL TRACTION OUTSOLE

Our newly designed outsole has recessed grooves and singular lugs, giving you the traction you need for any sticky situation!

BREATHABLE MATERIALS

Lightweight, breathable air mesh covers the upper where the foot flexes, allowing for maximum comfort and mobility.

ZERO-DROP

Places the forefoot and heel flat to the ground correcting posture, aligning your spine, and encouraging mid-foot strike.

Great show for me
Have worn these for only a week but I loved them right out of the box. I have hard time finding shoes that work for my feet, neuromas, bunion, extra large right foot. I did order a half size larger than usual, which was good. They are good looking shoes with room in toe box. Now if Lems would make a pickle ball shoe with soles that last, every pb women I know would buy a pair
