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.

FULL RUBBER OUTSOLE WITH ZIG-ZAG SIPING

This sticky rubber outsole incorporates 4mm deep lugs for incredible traction on snow, mud, and everywhere in-between! The built in zig-zag grooves (siping) provide additional biting edges to cut into ice/snow and helps ground your feet in slippery situations.

100% WATERPROOF UPPER

With its fully waterproof membrane and gusseted tongue, the Outlander will keep your feet dry and warm, especially after a day on the slopes or slogging through slush on your way to the bar!

ZERO-DROP

Places the forefoot and heel close 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.

Shoutout to Devin in Customer Support! The boots are great
TL;DR
Would recommend! Versatile waterproof boot that LOOKS good off the trails as well. Consider going half a size up if you have been wearing barefoot shoes for a while.
SIZING & COLOUR SCHEME
I've been wearing Lems for years now and am a women's size 8 in Kourts and 8.5 in the Boulder Summit Waterproof boots. I absolutely loved the Iceberg colour scheme on the Outlander, but they only had them in a size 8, so I ordered that plus an 8.5 in the Evergreen colour scheme. When it arrived, the 8 was just a tiny bit too small and tight in the toe box. I'm not sure whether it is the waterproof membrane adding bulk or me being used to the super-wide toe box of the Boulder Summit, but I was definitely an 8.5 in the Outlander. The toe box on the Outlander is a bit narrower than the Boulder boot, so keep in mind when sizing, especially if you have been wearing barefoot-style shoes for a while.
Unfortunately, the Evergreen in real life is SO much darker than in the photos on the website - the green is almost black and all the colours sort of blend together. If you're looking for a tactical-looking boot, that's great, but I really didn't like it on me. But my size 8 in the Iceberg colour was sold out everywhere :( Then Devin in Customer Service came to my rescue! They somehow managed to locate the last Iceberg 8.5 pair in existence AND send it the very next day, which meant they arrived just in time before my hiking holiday in Acadia National Park in Maine!
The boots look nice…

Good shoes, terrible laces
The fit is comfortable and I really like the shoes; however, I had to replace the laces because they were too short for the shoes and were constantly coming untied due to their slippery nature.

Toe Box Too Narrow, Laces Too Short
These boots are attractive and very well constructed. They're obviously high quality. I wore them around my house a good bit before deciding to keep them. Unfortunately, hiking in them has not been pleasant. Walking around the house is one thing; hiking on a rugged, steep trail is another. The toe box is definitely too narrow. After four miles, the sides of my feet were rubbed sore, and my feet still hurt two days later from being "scrunched" up. A larger size would not have helped. I appreciate the zero drop of these boots, but they're not a true barefoot, foot-shaped design. Unfortunately, waterproof barefoot boots are hard to find, and I'll probably be stuck with these on my Kilimanjaro climb. Other reviewers are correct that laces are too short and will need to be replaced.

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.
