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.

SLIP RESISTANT OUTSOLE
This shoe is equipped with a slip resistant, non-marking rubber outsole that utilizes zig-zag grooves and grippy textures to ensure your feet remain grounded in slippery situations.

LEATHER UPPER
We’ve utilized a full-grain leather upper to enhance the overall look and feel of the shoe. Date night? Business casual event? The Chillum Grip has you covered.

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 shoes
I stumbled upon LEMS shoes as I was looking for a new pair of casual shoes to wear to the office. I am so happy that I purchased them! Very comfortable, true to size, my feet are comfortable all day long, and they are quality. I like the fit and comfort so much I purchased a couple more pairs of different styles.

Love these
These are great but would be next level if they made them in a summit pro style like the rose anvil collab. These are one of my top favorite casual shoes but could easily be one of the best shoes ever made with a calfskin leather lining.

Great shoes, comfy and stylish!
Needed better office shoes, and Lems always have been my go to after breaking my foot a few years ago and needed more toe splay room.
Sized up a half a size compared to other Lems I have.
