- Freet 5in1 asymmetric forefoot for natural foot shape allowing toes to spread naturally
- BreatheMesh upper material for breathability, a little water resistance and temperature control
- Lining is a breathable water resistant membrane. This shoe is designed for excellent breathablity. If you want more water resistance, then look at Mudee

- Vegan
- Stack Height: 7mm with insole; 4mm without insole
Fitting: Sizes 37-48 You are likely to need a size larger than your ‘normal’ shoe size, especially if wearing a thicker sock and prefer a ‘roomy’ fitting shoe.
Wt. 420gms pr 42
Although a little more generous than our older styles, on average people still go one EU size larger than their ‘average’ shoe size.
The length and width of the insole of this shoe is as below. Remember the shoe has good volume in the forefoot so the actual comfortable width of this shoe will be a few mm greater than this ‘flat’ measurement. Fit is personal, but most people will prefer to have at least 4 or 5mm spare room in front of your largest toe(s). USA sizing is below the European:

I have been wearing these for a while now. Unlike other Freet shoes, these seemed to need wearing in. The first few times I wore them around the house, they gave me cramp (something that I hadn’t experienced since I used to wear conventional running shoes for sports). But after that, they seemed to either soften up a little or adapt to the shape of my feet. I haven’t had cramp again. I now mainly use them for mountain biking, with Rock Plates cut to shape and placed between the sole and the insole (and ordinary socks, or waterproof socks when I’m likely to get a soaking). They are amazing! I feel much better connected to the bike than I ever have before, using a variety of different shoes. And the outer soles are faring quite well so far (much better than some rubber ones on other shoes), even though they are not designed to endure the metal studs on the mountain bike pedals. If they last reasonably well, I will buy them again for mountain biking.

I got my Bootee M last week. I was looking for a good hiking boot that I can also use during the winter; and had been looking at these for a while. I finally ordered them ordered a size up, and they fit great. They’re really sturdy, great materials and the insole is a nice addition. I already used them for one hike and can’t wait to use them for many more. I had previously tried more expensive barefoot hiking boots from Vivobarefoot which were really uncomfortable and tore open my skin from the harsh materials and seems on the inside, but not with the Bootee’s from Freet. And that for half the price! Great wide toebox and more durable compared to Vivobarefoot , zero drop, overall just a good comfortable hiking boot. I just ordered another pair of Freet for when I’m not hiking and hope they will be just as comfortable in every day wear.

Wow! This is a remarkable shoe/boot for hiking. I have worn moccasins, Xeros and Vivobarefoot shoes for years and have been looking for a hiking boot both for day hikes and backpacking and I think I found it! I can’t say enough about the amount of “feel” and flexibility in the boot, perfect for hiking. Love the ankle protection without prohibiting the ankle to move naturally, very clever! The boot just invites me to stride properly; no heel striking, weight forward with knee and ankle bend. Nice construction and wonderful grip on the sole on rocks and wet terrain, also nice in amount of water shedding but also the boot is warm but not hot (breathes). Think it will work well in Summer. Can’t say enough, great boot, will not be my last Freet Purchase. I followed the recommendation of “sizing up” and that worked well with nice toe space and no toe jamming going down hill with weight. (wear a 41 on my Vivo and ordered a 42 for the Freet and fits nice, I like room with my toes 🙂 Enjoy!!

Coming from ‘other’ barefoot walking shoes, these are a delight. Comfy, flexible, light, nice water resistance. I really like the amount of ankle support in these too. I bought the Mudee at the same time, thinking I would only keep one or the other, but they are so good I kept both. The Mudee for when it’s properly raining, cold (U.K.) weather or wet (puddles) ground, these for damp weather or when the temperature creeps up a bit in spring. Freet are my new favourite walking shoes for sure.
