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.

More neutral colors please
I bought these in the mist several years ago and they are still my summer go to shoe. I love them!! However, I have to wash them by hand a lot and let them dry in the sun. I have been waiting for a long time to see a neutral beige/tan or a nice blue jean blue come out (all with white soles) but the colors have never changed. It would just be nice to have something that doesn’t show the dirt so easily that goes with just about everything in a neutral way. A tan and a blue jean blue would really fit the bill. I bet they’d sell quickly. 🤗

The best slip ons!
Please don't discontinue these! These are the only slip ons that work for my wide toe box and low volume feet. They're incredibly comfortable and also low profile, such a great every day shoe.

Love the shoes, sans socks
I love my Laguna shoes. They wouldn't look as good with socks, but I was still slightly disappointed that wearing even thin no-show socks in them makes them too tight. Probably just needed a bit larger size, but I got largest size 12s (and I wear 11.5 in general market shoes). Cork inside so no socks is fine.
Great quality, beautiful shoes. Very comfortable
