Sizing Large (ii)

This shoe 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.

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:

The order for a family member was promptly delivered, and reportedly the boots fitted well and were comfortable.

Excellent shoes, very comfortable

Very happy with this purchase. The leather upper is very soft making the shoe extremely comfortable to wear. I am also happy with the low profile sole.
I take UK size 8 normal shoes but my other walking shoes & boots are usually a UK size 9, however following the review I purchased the size 8 Esk. With thicker socks these are fine, however I think a size 7 would have been too small as the length and toe room for the big toe is fine with the size 8. If 1/2 sizes were made then maybe a 7.5 UK size would have been ok. However I added an extra basic insole from Freet and that has done the job in improving the fit with thinner casual socks as opposed to walking/hiking socks, which are also Ok.
As I was very happy with these Esk bootees I also purchased a Citee pair of shoes and these are also very very comfortable. My normal UK size 8 was fine in these Citee shoes.

Very comfortable

I am really pleased with my new Esk boots; they are very comfortable and I know they are going to be lovely and warm for the winter. I bought them to replace my old Mudee boots which were a firm favourite. I went down a size from my old boots and found they were a perfect fit.

Best Bootee Ever

I absolutely love my Esks. They are everything I hoped for. I am new to barefoot shoes and wanted footwear that covered many bases. Light is very important to me, these are certainly that. I wanted my toes to be free, so much wiggle room. From the moment I put them on they have been so comfortable. I have worn them walking in the countryside and everything in between. I have the ortho insole which makes them that bit more comfy. Fit wise, I should have gone for the size below, I am a UK 5 and a half, I had the 39 size. I should have read the guidance.
One of the surprising benefits is how stable I feel wearing my Freets. I just feel more connected and balanced to the ground.
I did put dubbing on them to make them more water resistant. Made from a lovely quality leather, I basically didn't wear any other shoes until the warm weather came. When I got my second pair of Freet summer shoes .

Best shoes I’ve owned

Hands down the most comfortable, practical yet stylish shoes I’ve worn. They can only be challenged by my Teva Tirras but these have the benefit of keeping the wet out better than sandals. I’d be surprised if I don’t buy another pair of the Esk when my current ones wear out.
