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.

Amazing Hiking Shoe
Couldn't be happier with these shoes. The wide toe box makes for extra comfort. It's slightly looser than most trail shoes but, I like a padded hiking sock which makes the fit perfect. I wear them all year round for disc golf and the grip/traction is excellent. Lightweight is super important so that's a huge plus and they seem completely waterproof. The mid height helps keep my feet dry during the morning wetness from dew covered grass. Couldn't recommend them more, I'll be buying more Lems in the future.

Great boot, ugly colours
This is a terrific boot.
It's warm, comfortable, has a wide toe box, it's safe on all terrains, can be worn during winter and has great traction.
But the colour.....oh boy. You can't wear this in the city. This doesn'tlook remotely good with any clothes.
Lems, you have a serious problem when it comes to colours. Not everybody wear your shoes/boots for hiking only. It's time you considered casual wear. I just look like a weirdo with these (green). Black should ALWAYS be available on ALL models, like the regular Primal Pursuit model. I'm not even wearing these anymore because of how ugly they are. I'll keep them for renovation, painting, yard work...all the occasions where I wouldn't want a good looking boot to be ruined. You should seriously consider having black available on all of your boots/shoes. You are losing serious business opportunities, and customers too.

Perfect show for my foot
Ordered an 8 and a 9 but 8 was to small and 9 too big. So I had to return both sizes.
8 1/2 was sold out. But man what a gorgeous show perfect in every way and love the look the feel the suede leather, the sole. I hope they don't change it when they come out with a new version because if it's the same I will buy an 8 1/2.
