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.

ZERO-DROP

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

I didn’t realize how uncomfortable my old shoes were.
I can’t say enough good things about how well these shoes fit. In comparison, my old shoes were too wide in the heel, too narrow in the toe and had no arch support. This is my new favorite shoe company and I plan on buying more. I did feel like they run slightly small. I bought a half size bigger in the widest and a whole size bigger in the wide format. Thanks!

Look Great
Got the white color and they look great. I saw some reviews to size up a half size and it worked for me. Some reviews said the toe room is a little short in true to size, but it's perfect with a half size up. Toe width is also perfect with a half size up. There is a little more volume in the upper than I would like, but I wouldn't call it loose. Shoes are comfortable.
I would like to see a version without the suede (or a vegan suede) so it's easier to clean. Some more color options would be nice. The Chillum is probably Lem's best looking casual sneaker.

Shockingly comfortable
My feet have been bothering me and I recently learned that a wider toebox could help. I gave the Chillum's a try, and they're very comfortable. My feet do seem to hurt less, and I don't mind putting on sneakers. In fact, when I put them on, it's almost like putting out slippers that don't look like slippers. Love them, and I've recommended them to others already. I think I'm going to get a second pair in black.

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.
