Sizing Small (ii)

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:

Almost perfect

These are the closest shoes yet to perfect. Super comfortable and roomy with another width for foot to spread. Really light weight, lovely and flexible, enough sole to take the sharp stuff out but still feel the shape of the ground, and look great.
Love the toe protection, a lot of my previous shoes have given way there so hope these will have a long life.
Like others needed to go a size up from my usual.
Have worn these round the Lake District running and hiking, but also use round town and love them for both.
The grip is great for nearly everything, mud, dirt, gravel, only gripe was found not quite as good on wet rock as could be.
But overall best shoe I’ve had yet

Excellent

Really enjoy wearing the Calvers. Extremely comfortable, wide at the forefoot, durable, flexible for a shoe of this stack height, and excellent grip on dirt, grass, and gravel. When purchasing based on the size chart, I found I needed to size up once to accommodate my bare feet, and then again to accommodate hiking socks. So, though I am a 42 in most shoes, I found that a 44 worked best for me. These are my go-to hiking shoes because they have the weight and flexibility of running shoes, yet provide the all-terrain traction and durability that running shoes generally lack. The fit is also snug enough around the ankle that debris never collects in the shoe, despite it being a low-top. The one issue that I did have is with the insoles. The included AirMax insole is very similar, if not identical, to the insoles found in many Xero shoe models. It has a perforated pattern to allow for increased airflow (ostensibly). However, similar to issues I had with Xero shoes, I found that the perforated insoles caused increased friction, particularly at the ball of my foot, which resulted in blistering when walking for long periods of time. To address the issue, I've replaced the AirMax insoles with the Flexile insoles that ship with most of Freet's other shoe models, though in this case I had to purchase it as a separate accessory. I haven't had any blisters since. All in all, I highly recommend these shoes for hiking or trail running.

Can't say enough good things about these shoes!

Raced in my Freet Calver's today, a 10k with 1800' (550m) climb and descent - and an absolute mud-slide on insanely rooty rocky trail. These shoes did everything I needed them to. Best, I didn't have to smash my toes together with every foot strike. I'm mid-pack in the 50+male division. A small loop in the course put me right with the 1st place Female. My Freet and I hung with her elite pace for a solid 7 minutes. The twists and turns in the mud and web of forest was absolutely exhilarating. The Calvers were fantastic throughout. Can't say enough good things about these shoes!

I love the Freet Calver

I love the Freet Calver shoe. I have the Feldom and was excited when they came out with a shoe with a more aggressive tread even though the Feldom handles everything I throw at it. I love the new aggressive "mountain grip" sole. The Calver strikes the perfect balance between being more aggressive while still maintaining the ground feel that comes with Freet shoes. The shoe has just enough reinforcement around the sole for durability but does not sacrifice comfort. The mesh upper is super breathable and conforms to the foot in way that makes it fit like a glove while allowing for freedom of movement. The "sizing & fit" guide says it's a roomier shoe. I wear a 43 in all my Freet shoes and I ordered the Calver in a 43 after consulting customer support at Freet and it fits perfectly. I think the toe box is slightly roomier than the Feldom. It's a good looking shoe as well. Just enough orange color to be distinctive without going overboard. If you are looking for an aggressive running/hiking shoe and max comfort then the Calver is your shoe. I look forward to putting them on and going out!
