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.

Rockin' Shoes
FreeRider Pros have gone from some of the best shoes out there, to complete garbage. I've bought a bunch of different shoes looking for a replacement. Look no further. These shoes are insanely comfortable, stiff and grippy.... and as an added benefit, the tread is -great- for walking on dirt.
Killer shoes. Great work Lem's. I bought a pair, and immediately bought another.

Fantastic
These shoes are great! They fit well and keep my feet glued to the pedals when I'm riding. Exactly what I was looking for as my five ten shoes are starting to fall apart and they are not nearly as comfortable as these shoes. No break in period. I can wear them all day long at work without my feet aching. I could go on but rest assured these are some really good shoes.
There was a small issue with ordering them. I don't know how but the webpage must have defaulted to the smallest size and 4.5 size shoes showed up the first time. Lems was very prompt about the exchange to my size and I got the proper ones soon after.
