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.

VEGAN MATERIALS

Comprised of microfiber and breathable air mesh, we made sure that all materials, down to the laces and glue, are 100% vegan.

ULTRA LIGHTWEIGHT

Our proprietary IBR outsole is what makes Lems incredibly lightweight and flexible - giving your foot the sense of weightlessness.

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.

The Shoe I've Been Waiting For
This is the perfect everyday shoe. It's lightweight, stylish, breathable, comfortable, and holds up to a huge variety of activities. The wide toe box makes for a very comfortable fit, and the sole is thick enough to provide adequate cushioning while still letting me feel the ground beneath my feet. The cork soles provide way more support than I was expecting and does a great job of allowing moisture to wick away. The materials are high quality, and the rubber holds up nicely. I took these as my only pair of shoes on a 2-week trip to Italy and have zero regrets. I walked over 8 miles through the streets of Rome in a day, did a 6-mile moderate difficulty hike in the Dolomites, and went to a Michelin-star restaurant in these shoes and never felt out of place. The only drawback is they are not very water resistant, so I wouldn't take them hiking in inclement weather but that's really not what they were designed for.
TL;DR - Comfortable, versatile shoe that can take a beating and looks great. 10/10

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.
