Back to Lems Fall 2022 Styles

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.

ZERO-DROP

Places the forefoot and heel flat 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.

ULTRA LIGHTWEIGHT

Our proprietary IBR outsole is what makes Lems incredibly lightweight and flexible - giving your foot the sense of weightlessness.

PULL ON AND GO!

This boot makes it incredibly easy to slide into a go, thanks to its elastic upper components and multiple pull tabs.

Comfy "work" shoes!
This is my second pair I bought specifically for house chores. It's great that they are easy to slip on, keep grass and stickers out of my socks and don't make my feet hurt.

I’ll never financially recover from this addiction
I’m not sure words can do justice to the amount of relief Lem’s products have brought me. The Chelsea has become a fast favorite. Comfort with or without socks, the inner liner is great. Soles are durable and the suede is tough(treat before use). Fantastic. Fits consistent with the boulder boot and boulder boot waterproof.
