This shoe fits true to size
The best guide for sizing your new Freet shoes is to start with your usual shoe size. Think about whether you always take this size or whether you sometimes need to go smaller or larger.
Customer feedback is that this style fits true to size; so order your normal size.
Our shoes are originally produced in EU sizes. All UK sizes are the closest conversion so, if you know your EU size, you may want to consider using this.
It is vital that you allow at least 5mm extra at the front of the shoe. For example; your foot is 248mm long. You will likely need size EU40 to allow enough free space at the end of your shoe.
The lengths shown are the Insole lengths (the actual shoe length will be 2 or 3 mm longer).

Measuring Your Foot
Sometimes as a second check it is worth measuring your foot. Feet can be different sizes so its worth measuring both and taking the largest.
Standing next to a wall place a piece of paper against the wall. Place your foot on the paper with your heel just touching the wall.
- The next stage is easier if you get someone else to help do it.
- Take a pencil or pen and trace the outline of the foot on the paper.
- Start at the heel.
- Keep the pen at 90 degrees to the paper, so vertical, see diagram.
- Don't draw under the foot.
If possible, please work from the EU sizes (the US and UK sizes are nearest conversions to these sizes so will not be as accurate). The lengths and widths are the dimensions of the insole in mm measured as per the picture below:

Freet Fit
Wide Toe Box, Zero Drop, Flexible
I bought these as I live in the jungle, and had decided I needed different hiking boots for warm climates vs cold climates.
First time trying Freet- size seems good. I got my regular size (UK 5 / EU 38)for my 23x10cm feet and anticipating I would only be wearing thin socks with them (for warm weather boots I went a size up to fit with thicker socks).
The left shoe I have absolutely no problem. However the right shoe rubs under my ankle bone and took the skin off. I don’t know if the difference is in my foot shape, a slight difference in the way the right shoe fabric sits, and whether the bottle-yarn material will mould better to the shape of my foot over time - but right now I would not be able to do long hikes in them.
Only time will tell!
Totally loving these shoes, I'm a convert to barefoot shoes and especially Freet. I do a lot of walking and it feels as though these shoes are doing my feet and my overall structual movement and a lot of good. Thankyou Freet!
Supe Schuh. Bequem, leicht.
