Freet Skeeby | Andrew Explains – The Performance Barefoot Shoe

Meet the Freet Skeeby – a versatile barefoot shoe designed for performance, whether you’re running, training, or simply looking for a more natural way to move.

When it comes to barefoot shoes, there’s a lot of misinformation out there—so who better to break it all down than Andrew, the founder of Freet Barefoot and a leader in the industry? With years of experience in developing barefoot footwear, Andrew knows exactly what goes into creating a shoe that supports foot health while delivering real-world performance.

In this Andrew Explains episode, Andrew takes you through every detail of the Skeeby, showing exactly how and why it works.

Why Andrew Designed the Skeeby This Way

At Freet, every shoe is built with a purpose, and Skeeby is no exception. Here’s what went into its design:

1️⃣ ReBound Insole – A 4mm energy-return insole that softens impact while keeping a barefoot feel. Andrew explains why this is particularly useful for those transitioning to barefoot shoes or covering longer distances.

2️⃣ BottleYarn FlyKnit Upper – Made from recycled plastic bottles, this upper offers lightweight durability, moisture-wicking properties, and breathability—key aspects Andrew prioritises in every Freet design.

3️⃣ UrbanGrip Outsole – With a 3mm wide-area tread, the Skeeby ensures excellent grip, making it ideal for everyday movement. Andrew personally tested different tread patterns before choosing this one, ensuring the right balance of durability and flexibility.

4️⃣ SoftFlex Midsole – Andrew often talks about how a truly barefoot shoe must allow the foot to move naturally. That’s why Skeeby’s midsole is fully flexible, allowing unrestricted movement.

5️⃣ Eco-Friendly Construction – Sustainability isn’t just a buzzword at Freet. With 80% recycled materials in the upper and 60% natural rubber in the outsole, Skeeby is designed to be a more responsible choice for both your feet and the planet.

Andrew’s Thoughts on Who the Skeeby is For

✔ Active Individuals – Whether you’re hitting the gym, training, or running, Skeeby is built for movement.
✔ Urban Explorers – Lightweight, breathable, and perfect for everyday adventures.
✔ Barefoot Transitioners – If you’re new to barefoot footwear, Andrew recommends starting with a shoe like Skeeby, where the ReBound Insole provides a touch of cushioning while still allowing your feet to strengthen naturally.

What Andrew Says About Barefoot Footwear

Andrew often discusses the importance of rethinking footwear. The human foot is incredibly well-engineered, and modern shoes often weaken it rather than support it. That’s why every Freet shoe is designed with natural movement in mind.

“Many people don’t realise that stiff, cushioned shoes do more harm than good. The Skeeby is about giving your feet back their natural strength and agility.” – Andrew

This is why Freet is leading the way in the barefoot movement—by creating shoes that don’t just feel great but also support long-term foot health.
