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.

The lengths shown are the Insole lengths (the actual shoe length will be 2 or 3 mm longer).

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:

Best ever shoes

Best ever shoes : light, strong and great design. I thank the previous users who advised ordering a size down; they're absolutely right. My shoe size is 42, and I bought a 41, and it fits perfectly.

very good shoes

This is my first pair of Freet and they are absolutely comfortable, it's like my feet came to life. I like materials and how they fit. The shoes seems to be very well made and breathable. My size is EU 46, following size advice I opted for 45 and they wear very well for me.

Kupujte Freety číslo menší!

Skutečně je třeba kupovat tyto jinak výborné boty o číslo menší! Budou lépe sedět. Ale dá se zvyknout i na tyto větší. Jinak jen samá chvála, jsou příjemné a pohodlné na každodenní nošení pokud není vlhké počasí.
Mám zkušenosti s Vivobarefoot, ty jsou zatím top ale za top cenu! Swale mi hodně připomínají mé velmi oblíbené Xero Oswego, mám od Xera také více modelů.
Doufám, že se u Freet příště lépe trefím, taky se mi líbí více typů.
Jinou obuv než barefoot již roky nenosím, už bych to nedal, míval jsem s nohami problémy. Hodně jsem nosil služební boty a módně sportovní značky jako Adidas, Puma a podobné, dnes bych to už nekoupil. Ať se daří!

My Son's Go-To Shoe (that I also love)

My son has super wide feet, and one of his autism needs is high-top shoes with laces to provide support for his ankles. But high tops in the summer create problems. We found the Swale two years ago and they are now my son's only shoes from March through October - breatheable, comfortable, lightweight, washable, and with the ever-important high top and laces. I have an older pair he's grown out of and I - who also has super wide feet - love them as well!
