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.

Boots that are made for everyday wear and comfort
I have been wearing the Boulder boot waterproof leather everyday for the past three years. I live in Portland Oregon and really appreciate the FULL waterproofing of this boot. However the soles are "slippery"on certain wet surfaces. Thus making me be more careful in the wet conditions of winter. I recently purchased the Boulder boot leather waterproof grip. Although it is summer and no rain. I have not experienced the "rainy " season yet. I am confident that the grip upgrade will exceed all my expectations for the wet weather that is coming. Highly recommend the waterproof leather Boulder boot grip for everyday wear,especially if you live in the PNW area! Love my Lems! Fantastic boot!

Best boots
Really did some deep diving into the boots before I pulled the trigger on them, hands down the best boots I have ever wore. I took them on a 5 day backpacking trip with me up at baker lake and they held up so well. Steppped in multiple rivers and my feet stayed completely dry.
Only thing now is the glue is starting to get lose from the shoe itself so I’m reaching out to customer service about that.

The best of the best.
This is my second pair of LEMS. I recommend this company and product to everyone and anyone who will listen. People ask about them often and I am always happy to stop and take the time because I truly believe in this company. It literally happened again about an hour ago at my local market. LEMS for life and everything in it.
