How to choose which size to order?
Every individual product page has a Sizing section to give specific guidance on the fit of that style. In addition every product as a Sizing guide link to this sizing page. This page is a general sizing guide and the style specific information will always be found next to each product as it is unique to the product.
Relative Sizing
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.
Refer to the size and fit information on the product page
- Customers say fits small - you may need to go up a size.
- Customer say fits true - order normal size
- Customers say fits large - you may need to go down a size.
If you are still concerned about which size to order, you could order two sizes and return one. You could try our Chat facility, or call 00441748883365 or email freet@freetbarefoot.com if you want to discuss sizing. We can only answer 9am-5pm GMT hours. You can also try measuring your foot and use this information in conjunction with your experience of sizes you wear and our more general advice on how a particular size is fitting from Customer feedback.
Measuring Your Foot
Sometimes to be sure it is worth measuring your foot if you don't know your usual size. Feet can be different sizes so its worth measuring both and taking the largest. Measurements are much better in millimeters as they have a simpler to use than factions of an inch.
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.
- 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.
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 are the length of the insole in mm & inches.
Finding suggested Shoe Sizing
After measuring your foot, you need a sizing table to find the best match. How do you locate the sizing table for a specific style?
Each shoe in the store, will feature a link to the specific sizing guide for that style. The Sizing guide link is located just above the size selector on the product page. Click this link to view detailed sizing information for the shoe. The size tables are located at the bottom of the guide.

CARE INSTRUCTIONS
Das Positive zuerst:
Der Schuh ist bequem und ich trage ihn gerne, denn er lässt viel Platz für meinen Fuß und ist schön flexibel
Ich habe dieses Modell vor ca genau 2 Jahren gekauft und seither viel getragen.
Die Laufsohle ist von der Gummimischung für meinen Geschmack etwas zu hart und damit zu rutschig👎🏻, gerade was feuchte/nasse Bedingungen betrifft, das machen andere Mitbewerber besser.
Leider ist die Haltbarkeit deutlich zu schlecht!
Schon nach ca 12 Monaten begann sich die Verklebung am Übergang Schuhschaftleder/Gummisohle zu lösen und ich musste schon mehrmals nachkleben!!!👎🏻
Jetzt musste ich entdecken, dass innen om Fersenbereich sich das Innenfutter schon teilweise aufgelöst hat…..👎🏻
Alles in Allem bin ich für den Preis, was diese Schuhe kosten nicht zufrieden!
I have found the ibex boots to be a good performer on most terrain. Like all barefoots, pointy gravel can be painful especially if it is about 1-2 inches diameter. The downside is that they are fitted with a breathable membrane, which I prefer to do without in leather footwear. This reduces breathability but seems to have little ability to prevent water ingress. Treating the leather has improved the situation but I still need to wear sealskinz socks when it is going to be a wet walk. I accept that leather boots aren't 100% waterproof but what is the point of the membrane if it isn't keeping water out, even when the boots are new? My old Altberg boots with no membrane (over 10 years old and resoled once so far) are far more waterproof.
Initially great but 18 months of intermittent use, my feet get wet in wet grass. I have maintained them and conditioned the leather regularly but the seams are a weak point despite regular repairs. It would be much better with a stitched seam. Really comfortable though, just maybe stick to dry walks.
Loved these and wore them a lot, really comfortable and great for wearing on walks through dewy grass as they were properly watertight. But about 8 months after I bought them they started leaking in water at the join between sole and upper (see pics) then on the other foot. Now I can’t wear them in any damp conditions as my feet get wet straight away.
Sadly disappointed. If anyone has any suggestions as to how I can mend them please let me know.
Really pleased with the boots. I would have given 5 stars but I have only had them 2 weeks and so I haven’t had chance to judge their capabilities in hot or cold conditions, or have any idea of longevity.
