I really like how roomy the toe box is and how soft and light they are. However, I’m not a fan of the “half tongue” design, it creates a hole at the corner. I prefer the whole sock design like the Howgill. Also, would love to see more color options. I really want some colors besides black.(I replaced the laces with colorful elastic ones to add some colors).

These are one of the most comfortable minimalist shoes I've tried, and actually fit my very wide, high volume feet. While the black color wouldn't be the greatest in sunny climates, they seem to be fairly breathable, and I'm guessing they'd be good up to about 75F. However, I decided to send them back because the tongue isn't quite wide enough for my feet, which leaves a small gap at the top of the laces. I live in a sandy environment and imagine sand would be pouring in through it. If they made the tongue even half an inch wider, this problem would be solved, and I doubt the extra fabric would be uncomfortable for people with narrower feet since it's so soft and flexible.

Got this as a replacement for my old Flex. Very satisfied with its roomy toebox and comfortable upper material. I wear it without socks.

I have basically worn these shoes all summer. My second pair of Freet shoes, I don't think I can go back to "normal" shoes now. I am a complete convert! I love how stable I feel when I am walking. My ankle used to give way sometimes, I have not had that in these barefoot shoes at all.I feel as if my whole style of walking is changing. My plantar fasciitus has also improved so much. Whether it is due to wearing barefoot shoes I can't say, but I am very relieved.
These shoes are incredibly light, keep my feet cool. On holiday, I wore them the whole time, even in the sea. They are so easy to pop in my backpack as they pack really flat.
The sole is sturdy , there's some foot slippage due to the soft design, when on uneven ground. I have the ortho insole to cushion my feet further. I went a size down, 38. I am in between 38 and 39. I think I could have even gone to a 37. But I love all of the wiggle room in the toe area.

I've worn barefoot shoes across many brands - including Freet - for about 12 years and these might be the absolute best for comfort and design. The highly grippy and thick soles let me feel like a mountain goat on steep loose and rocky inclines, and the open mesh outers keep me comfortable in this 35-40C Italian weather. These are also the only shoes I can wear without socks and insoles for long periods, no doubt helped by the off-centre lace design and elastic close-fitting outers. The thicker sole versus their other trainer-like models makes city walking comfortable too. As you'd expect of the design, they get wet instantly in the rain, but during the winter months they'll switch to being my go-to indoor gym shoes. One thing to be aware of when you buy them is to go one size down versus other Freet models and potentially two sizes down versus "normal" shoes - they really benefit from a close fit.
