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.

Almost
Great shoe that's comfortable, light, and fits great. The only issue I have is that they are not easy to put on due to the amount of force that's needed to squeeze my foot in. This is unfortunate because the main reason I chose a slip-on style shoe was that it would be super easy to put on for quick errands. Maybe over time it will loosen.

Very happy!
I bought my first pair of Lems about 3 weeks ago. I ordered a size 12 and they were a little small. Even though they were a little small I could wear them and after two weeks I liked them so much I ordered a second pair, size 12.5 and they fit perfectly. For me the sizing runs a little small but that is fine now that I know. I have always worn Vivi barefoot but like these just as well and they are cheaper. I love the slip ons Lems offers as well as the styles. Very happy and am now a devoted customer. Michael

Great shoes, instep could be roomier
This is my first time wearing LEMS and I love the roomy footbed and toe area. My feet have always been on the wide side but my toes spread more and my ankles developed due to wearing Five fingers and Earth Runners in recent years. It has been a challenge to find even wide casual shoes that are comfortable. My only complaint is that the instep is a bit narrow. It's not uncomfortable once I get my foot in as compared to other slip ons, but wearing a sock may not be possible. Otherwise, they are suprisingly comfortable and very stylish. I recommend them and would buy again.

Frequently asked questions

1. How do I choose the right size?

We recommend using our size guide, where you can measure your foot length and compare it to our chart. Lems are designed with an extra-wide toe box for maximum comfort. If you’re between two sizes, we suggest sizing up for the best fit.

Follow our size guide here.

2. Can I wear Lems for hiking and outdoor activities?

Absolutely. Many of our styles are designed for both everyday wear and outdoor adventures. The soles provide natural ground feel while the materials are lightweight yet durable. Check the “Specifications” tab on each product page to find your perfect match.

3. What does “zero-drop” mean?

Zero-drop means the heel and forefoot are at the same height from the ground. This promotes a natural gait and posture, reduces unnecessary strain on knees and back, and allows your feet to move the way nature intended.

4. How does your return and exchange policy work?

We offer a 30-day return window from the day you receive your shoes. If the size isn’t right or you’d like a different style, you can easily arrange an exchange through our returns portal. Your replacement will be shipped as soon as we receive your return.

5. Are Lems suitable for wide feet or specific foot conditions?

Yes. Lems’ foot-shaped design offers extra space in the toe box, making them a great choice for people with wide feet, bunions, hammer toes, or other foot sensitivities. Many customers with special requirements report improved comfort and reduced pain in daily wear.
