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.

CORK FOOTBED

By adding an ultra-thin 0.8mm cork top layer, your foot will be feeling the benefits of natural coolness and comfort, with or without socks.

ULTRA LIGHTWEIGHT

These everyday shoes are some of the lightest on the market and are intended to feel like you're wearing nothing at all.

ZERO-DROP

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

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.

I highly recommend this shoe
It’s the most comfortable barefoot-type I have worn. It has the perfect amount of room for the toes and great overall comfort.

Great casual shoe!
My wife wanted to get me a pair of casual shoes, but I was hesitant about the toe box on an average pair of shoes. Lems shines once again.

Ignore sizing recommendation. Measure your feet.
Check the sizing chart before ordering. It's different from the big brands like Nike, Addidas, and New Balance. Normally I would buy men's size 14 but according to Lems' chart I need 15. That's what I bought and it's a good fit.
These are one of my first wide toe box shoe purchases. They feel good and I really like the wide toe box. I don't even notice that the sole is flat until I wear other shoes. Then I want to go back to flat. The shoes are well made but the left shoe has some squeaking that I hope goes away or at least doesn't get louder.
My big toe joints have been hurting for 10+ years and finally one day two months ago I searched online for "wide toe box shoes". I don't know why I didn't do that years ago. I'm now in the (expensive) process of replacing all of my shoes. So far I prefer the "barefoot" style (other brand) which is surprising because I thought I would need some time to adjust to those. Lems are great too and I'm still in the testing phase so I may decide later that I prefer the extra padding of Lems in certain situations.

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.
