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.

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:

Cool shoes for work and whatever else

These shoes are dressy enough to wear to my workplace. Heel lockdown is great plenty of room in my midfoot and toebox while still being good fit.

They look a bit goofy looking down at them but they are fine at an angle which is how everyone is going to see them anyway. I got the Freet Danum first and these fit a little bit more snug with the same size (I wear US 10). Not as breathable as well but that's expected with a leather shoe. It's still way more breathable than thicker smooth leather though my feet were not super sweaty after a full work day.

I'm checking out other barefoot brands as well now but I know I'll keep coming back to Freet to check for new styles. Awesome shoe.

They are well made

They are well made, they keep my feel quite warm compared to my old barefoot shoes. In general the sizes are slight smaller than vivo's sizes. only 4 stars because of the laces hole though the tongue (as other have mentioned). I bees waxed and polished them, the leather ends up very dark brown (almost black). I'm happy with them I'd buy another pair (maybe one size up).

Best Freets yet

I have been wearing barefoot shoes for prob ten years now, and Freets since Connect 1. Have had Connect 1 & 2, Feldom, Chukka, Muddee, Zennor, Tundra, and now Richmond 2.

Had previously tried Richmond v1 and returned it, because the sizing was off for me. V2 fixes that. Also, they might be the most comfortable Freets since Connect v2. Plus, with a bit of Nikwax waterproofing wax, they darken up nicely, adopting a 'lived in' look.

Full marks. Can wear these anywhere. The only thing I'd say that could be improved is to offer a resole-ing service, because the upper will last a long, long time.

This is my third pair of Freet shoes

This is my third pair of Freet shoes. They are well design and made with quality material . Great to wear and good for your feet.
