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.

Fantastic MTB shoe
Super happy with these. Not bad for a first iteration. Looking forward to where they go from here. One nit pick I would have is the lack of a small elastic lace retention on the tongue to tuck them out of the way after tied. Not enough of a gripe to give these less than 5 stars. The search for a proper Mtb shoe is over, thanks Lems

I love the way they look on my feet
These boys were sold out at one point when I first decided to get them and I finally got them and I am so happy with what I got. The shoes feel good in my feet and they look good on my feet.
Tough to find a black cool casual look shoe for a sz 15 guy.
