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.

Perfect slip on shoe
Until now, I have never been able to find a slip on travel shoe because my feet are narrow but I have bunions, so need a wide toe box. All slip ons I have tried just fall off my feet when I walk. I am amazed that the Lagunas are so comfortable. My heels don't slip at all. The toe box is wide enough that I don't feel the bunions. I bought them with the extra, thin cork insole which I added. That made it perfect for my foot. I love these shoes!

Gender neutral shoe
Great shoe. I still can't figure out why it's not sold as both a womens and mens shoe ???

Comfortable, lightweight, and plenty of room for my feet
This is my first pair of zero-drop shoes, and I’ve really been enjoying them! I wear them during my 8-hour admin workdays, and they’re very comfortable throughout the day. They’re also extremely lightweight, which makes them a great travel shoe.
I have wider feet, so I really appreciate the wide, foot-shaped toe box. My toes have plenty of room to spread out instead of feeling squeezed together like they do in more traditional shoes.
I’ve enjoyed the Laguna so much that they actually motivated me to invest in the ZENSPEED+ running shoes. I’m excited to try them for running!
I also purchased the Nikwax Fabric & Leather Footwear Cleaning and Waterproofing Duo-Pack to help keep my Lagunas clean and protected.
So far, I’m really happy with them and would definitely recommend them!
