One of our favourite pieces of footwear from the last few years here at The Coolector is definitely Lems’ Primal 2 Sneakers so we were understandably delighted when we saw that they’re about to release the Primal 3 and, safe to say, they don’t disappoint from a style or performance perspective. Featuring an expanded footprint for enhanced stability and contact with the ground, along with the introduction of new half sizes, the Primal 3 stands as the perfect ally for your forthcoming adventures.

Priced at $120, the Lems Primal 3 Sneakers are fantastic value for money and come in four, equally-cool, colourways – namely, Black, Slate, Olive and Eclipse – so you can pick the one that best fits in with your style preferences. Crafted based on the input of their customers, this new version retains several hallmark characteristics of the Primal 2, including the zero-drop platform and spacious toe box, while also unveiling significant improvements.

What sets the Primal 3 from Lems apart is the brand’s introduction of a newly engineered outsole that offers a broader footprint, enhancing ground contact beneath the foot. It features an expanded heel and midfoot area to more evenly distribute your weight. Additionally, the Primal 3 continues to employ Lems’ distinctive IBR outsole, ensuring a lightweight and flexible experience, day in day out.

Prioritising both fit and comfort, Lems have heeded the suggestions of their customers and introduced half sizes throughout the Primal 3 range, acknowledging that in the pursuit of comfort, the smallest details make a significant difference. Elevating comfort further, the latest recycled PU insole enhances the experience. With a thickness of 4.5mm and made from breathable materials, it promises comfort with every stride.

The expanded width of the outsole guarantees a more uniform dispersion of body weight across your feet, diminishing pressure points and elevating comfort across a range of activities. This improvement in weight distribution will be particularly noticeable and beneficial for individuals with lower arches or flat feet. However, those with high arches might observe minimal to no change in their experience.

The Lems Primal 3 represents more than just an addition to a product lineup; it embodies progression, meticulous craftsmanship, and a profound comprehension of the essentials of minimalist footwear. It caters to both seasoned aficionados and newcomers to the minimalist shoe scene, promising an enhanced experience that seamlessly merges comfort, health benefits, and fashion.
