Bootee 2

I’d ordered a size 6 (eu39) received a size 5 (eu38) also realised two days later I’d received the esk 2 rather than the bootee.
That being said the boots fit well and I walked 7.5 mile through forest tracks and uphill onto boggy mountainous terrain with zero issues so other than receiving the wrong size and wrong boots I genuinely have no other complaints.

I bought these to have something comfortable for dog walking as I am quite fed up with wearing heavy wellies to tackle the constant mud fest around Mid Wales. So far they have been absolutely amazing, and have surpassed my expectations.
Comfortable, light, and fit my wide feed perfectly. They also have excellent grip on most surfaces: everything except deep mud and smooth wet rock has been no problem so far.
Only once after 2 hours of walking through bog and waterlogged fields and crossing a stream did the boots feel a bit damp inside.
Fingers crossed I can get a couple of muddy seasons out of them.

I like how lightweight and water resistant this boot is. It performed very well hiking in bogs and crossing streams in Scotland. The sole is grippy and there's lots of room for high volume feet and/or feet with a wide mid foot.
I'd love to give them 5 stars, but the fit of the newer soles like the hill grip sole is just not as good as the one of the older sole types. The slope has become way more aggressive, which is such a pity for us people with plateau shaped toes. My pinky toes kinda hate these boots because of the slope, even though I sized up to give them more room.
Freet is one of the very few brands making good outdoor shoes for wide feet, and I'm sad I can't rely on them anymore. It would be so awesome if you released an extra wide line, or even just a more square sole with more space for long pinky toes.

I bought the boots a few days before my hiking trip in Patagonia (my first barefoot hiking boots). Because of them, I was able to do a lot of hiking every day; it wouldn't be possible in normal boots as I was getting a lot of pain in the balls of my feet. The grip on dry surfaces is exceptional, I was jumping on steep stones like a mountain goat. I was lucky and had nice weather all the time in Patagonia, so I can't comment on how waterproof the boots are, and how good the grip on wet surfaces is. I had no blisters, not even one!!! They are also very easy to clean after a hike.
The boots protected my ankles in terms of banging on the rocks and fallen tree trunks, but I am not sure how much they support the ankles. I am very happy with the purchase.

This is such a comfortable boot but no way is it waterproof or even water resistant, even after waterproofing. I returned one pair as I thought they must be faulty but the second pair do the same thing. These could have easily of been a 10/10 if it wasn’t for me constantly having wet feet. Such a comfy boot and such a shame.

I needed a bit more cushioning in rocky terrain

The best shoes ever, even if I say so myself. And I do. I do say it 🙂

So far the shoes are as described, comfortable for all day where, waterproof, easy on and off. My only issue is one shoe makes a clunky sound whenwalking, I'm hoping they just need to be broke in. I only have about 24 hrs of wear time. This is my 2nd pair of Freets and I like them both, looking to buy the leather shoe from them next.

They seemed so promising. I wrote an initial heady review about these boots which are indeed light, comfortable and seemingly well-made. However, possessed of a "high level of waterproofness" they are not! We are not talking fording streams or significant puddles. Even in damp grass after 10 minutes or so my feet are consistently cold and wet. I walk several kilometres every day in the Scottish Borders so was hoping for better. I have been forced to use a waterproofing spray to remedy them but to no avail. Fine for dry conditions in summer but don't be misled by the description. Very disappointing and will have to be replaced and they weren't cheap.

Initially I was very pleased with my purchase of the Bootee 2 boots. I have been searching for a pair of vegan barefoot bootsfor a long time. For the first 2 weeks of daily walking through damp or wet grass they kept my feet very dry. But I soon noticed my socks getting wet around the seams where the upper meets the trim. This has disappointed me because I was hoping they would stay waterproof for longer than 2 weeks
I have subsequently purchased (on your recommendation) some Nikwax Fabric and Leather Proof. I have yet to apply it so am unable to say if it has worked. Other than this issue I they are great boots.

Sehr schöner, wasserdichter Schuh!

I wear these boots on mixed terrain (mostly on hikes in Tenerife) and on winter city walks too (if I have to travel in winter), and I really love them, even though I bought a size slightly larger than I needed.

But that doesn’t spoil the experience: they generally don’t slip, the laces allow them to be adjusted snugly to the foot – and my feet stay dry even in the rain.

Perhaps it’s precisely because of their waterproofing that my feet don’t breathe as well in them.

I’ve been wearing them for half a year and I really love them.

The shoes look great and they have plenty of breathing space. However, I expected better foot support like the Merrells and Sketchers that I tend to stick to. The base is flat, which creates a bit of impact on each step. Lovely customer support and speedy delivery.

Can’t praise these highly enough: so comfortable, so well thought through, so well made. I walk everyday over a variety of terrains and so far they have kept my feet dry, comfortable and secure. Will definitely be buying other footwear from them.

This is my first pair of barefoot shoes and first Freet. And I will never look back! I needed a new pair of walking boots for some of the lighter trekking in Scotland in crazy weather and varied tracks. They have been amazing, didn't feel the discomfort in my toes, my ankle was stable and they look awesome.

Bought the shoes to go on a 8km hike in the Spanish mountains. I didn't wear them beforehand and didn't feel pain at all during the hike. very comfy, very wide and very waterproof. I use the guide size and it was perfect. Will buy again.

Really comfortable - I love these boots!

I am so happy with these boots. To date, without taping my heels, I would always get blisters very soon into a walk wearing conventional walking boots. So far, I have walked over 40 mile of the South West Coast Path (in four days), my feet feel great, stayed dry though a boggy bit, and I feel secure on slopes.

Wunderbare Boots. Viel Platz in der Zehenbox (hab Gr. 40 gewählt (Meine Standard Größe ist 39)um sich mit dickeren Socken gut Platz zu haben. (Richmond in Gr. 39 ist manchmal etwas knapp, wenn der Fuß sich bei Wärme etwas ausdehnt) ob der Schuh wirklich wasserdicht ist, konnte ich noch nicht ausprobieren. Der große Einsatz kommt dann im Norwegenurlaub in den Bergen! Freu mich drauf😊

Sturdy for a barefoot shoe yet still a barefoot shoe. Sole is substantial enough to protect nicely from stones. Looks good enough to use for commuting to work with dry and comfy feet.

A bit warmer than I expected.

Very comfortable, warm and DRY!
Yes, they truly are waterproof.

Even though I measured my foot and used the provided size guide table shoes turned out to be slightly too big but I prefer a bit too big rather than too small so that's not an issue.

On some surfaces, especially when wet, the soles are not grippy and I have to be careful not to slip.

Otherwise, they're everything I expected!

Molt bon servei i les botes genials, han agradat moltissim i son super còmodes.

I needed a comfortable, waterproof boot to wear on uneven streets in the Paris winter. Paris is still 2 weeks away, but I'm sure these will fill the bill. They've proven themselves to be actually waterproof and with thick wool socks, they are plenty warm. I will buy them again when this pair wears out.

Good boot

not just another lovely boot…

Bought before a trip to Colorado. Wanted to take only two shoes for a one bag trip. Also took the Esk for a "dressier" look. The Bootee 2 were perfect right out of the box without break-in. I used them as daily walk around shoes alternated with the Esk. And used them during some non-technical easy hikes. Very comfortable! The are on the warmer side during 50-60 degree F temps so I used thinner merino socks. I suspect during colder weather they would be perfect with a mid weight sock. They feel like a very good "tactical" shoe with a less tacticool look. Mixed feelings about limited colors available. Would like other options but if I keep buying Freets I'm gonna go broke--I've already bought 4 different styles in the last few months!

This is my 3th pair of freet shoes and I realy like them all. This pair is great for hikes. They are warm and waterproof.

Very good low boot. Waterproof, Comfortable, warm, flexible. And looking nice!
