Sizing Small (i)

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:

ibex - best so far

I have a few pairs of different freet boots and have been wearing them for a number of years. these are the best so far, they feel like a real hiking boot with the advantage of the bare foot feel. They also look like a traditional hiking boot so if this is your first transition into the world of barefoot shoes these are a great choice

Sweaty feet? Get the real leather boots!

If your feet get clammy easily, you will find the difference between Freet's microfibre material and the real leather is like night and day.

I previously owned the Tundra (which is the same boot except that it uses the "pretend" microfibre leather), but the sensation of clamminess on all but the very coldest winter days was unpleasant to the point where I simply never wore them. I am so glad I subsequently purchased the Ibex; they are by contrast very comfortable, without the issue I had experienced with the Tundra.

They are, as advertised, waterproof, and the tongue and gusset come up high enough that you can wear waterproof trousers over them and the rain will run off your trousers, onto the boot uppers and your feet will stay dry. I have not found this to be the case with the Mudee, as they come up less high on the ankle, so the rain runs off the trousers and inside the shoes.

I hope my experience helps you if you are unsure about which boot to go for. I have found Freet to be helpful when I have needed support and advice and would not hesitate to buy from them again.

Just what I was looking for! Perfect barefoot hiking boots.

I wasn't familiar with this brand but stumbled upon it while researching barefoot hiking boots online. I followed the site's suggestion and ordered a size up compared to my usual. I think I could have ordered my normal size and still have been ok, but the size up is also still totally fine. The laces cinch down well and keep the boots in place, and I have tons of room to move and flex my toes while hiking. SUPER lightweight as well, making them perfect for long hikes AND suitcase-friendly! The sides around the ankle are slightly rigid, no problem for normal ankles but my right ankle has a large scar from a break and the pressure can be uncomfortable with certain movements - I expect this to improve with wear as they break in though. Overall super satisfied!
