This sandal fits large: consider a smaller 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 large to size; if you sometimes have to go down a size, it is more likely that you may need to go down a size with this style.

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.

The lengths shown are the Insole lengths.

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.

Taking a ruler measure the length of the outline in millimetres. This will be the exact size of the insole you will need. To ensure the fit is not tight add another 5.0 - 10.0 mm to the length. If you wear thick socks then add that thickness to the length.

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:

Great Sandal for Wide Feet

Salcombe meets my expectations 100% since it is a great alternative to Birkenstocks which have a rather rigid sole and are much too expensive. They are also great for wide or very wide feet. The only deficit: They will tint your feet black.

Comfortable, not quite perfect

Comfortable and look good but are still staining feet black after a fortnight of wearing them most days. Sometimes catches the ground at the front due to the thin, flexible sole. Maybe future designs could account for these two concerns? But overall, a lovely pair of sandals that I enjoy wearing.

Comfortable, look great but some design issues

I really love Freet shoes and have had excellent experiences with the closed shoe designs. These sandals though have proved problematic because of the design. The sole is almost flip flop like and the design means your foot moves independently of the front of the sole (unlike a more built up, moulded cork sole type of sole). This means the front part keeps catching on the ground and folding under my toes as I walk- they are the right size and I’m not someone who drags their feet. As a result I can’t use them for anything longer than a quick stroll, during which I have to concentrate really hard and flex my toes upwards! The feel otherwise is so comfortable and the straps are good quality so it is a big pity the sole design lets these sandals down so significantly.

Hi Kari, thank you for taking the time to share such detailed feedback.

We’re really pleased to hear you found the Salcombe comfortable and loved the look and quality, although we’re sorry this particular sole design hasn’t worked for you.

Feedback like this is genuinely useful to us when developing future styles, and we have some exciting updates coming to the Salcombe next summer which we hope you’ll love!

Thanks again for your continued support of Freet!

Favourite Sandals

My all-time favourite sandals! These are, hands down, the most comfortable shoes I own. All 3 straps are fully adjustable and they're made of really soft leather.
The sole is thicker than most barefoot shoes, which I personally love because my feet get quite sore with thin soles! This had the perfect amount of cushioning. The sole is also very flexible and I felt comfortable walking on all kinds of terrain. I'm very impressed!
