This shoe fits small: consider a larger 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 small to size; if you sometimes have to go up a size, it is more likely that you may need to go up 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.

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.

Measuring Your Foot
  • 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.
Keep pencil verical
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.
Measuring your outline

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:

Very cosy

This is my first time using barefoot shoes. I walked around the house in them for a few days, to get used to them. Then out for a dog walk. They were so comfortable from the beginning. Kept my feet nice and dry and warm but without getting sweaty. Absolutely love them and my trainers! Well done and thank you!

Soft and warm

They're just like Freet trail running shoes, but in a boot format. They're optimal for walks in nature during winter. Easy to put on. I sized up, so they fit perfectly with woolen socks. I like them so far.

Amazingly comfortable winter boot

These are basically a winter version of the Bootee / Mudee / Tundra series, and the fit is the same in terms of sizing. They are comfortable right out of the box, needing no breaking in. The lining is gorgeously soft and very warm. If your feet are sensitive to the cold these should be great for you for any time from late autumn through to early spring. If you don't feel the cold so much, you might want to reserve these boots for cold winter days when they'll really come into their own.

Good ground feel, warm & waterproof with enough grip to cope with muddy dog walks.
