This shoe fits true to 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 true to size; so order your normal size.
Our shoes are originally produced in EU sizes. All US 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). The widths are measured across the flex point of the insole. The actual width of the shoe will be 2-4mm greater at each side of the shoe.

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.
- 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 and widths are the dimensions of the insole in mm measured as per the picture below:

CARE INSTRUCTIONS
Danum
The Danum is a brilliant outdoor shoe. Whether it is walking into town across the fields from here or venturing into the hills, the Danum works really well as a three season boot, but isn't out of place for everyday wear. With the current drought, there hasn't been much chance to try them under proper wet conditions. A walk through wet grass after a shower left the uppers wet but they dried in no time.
I was skeptical at first but the Danum ticks all the boxes: Comfy, breathable upper, rugged enough for outdoor use but sports a sleek look for daily wear. The mesh seems durable but time will tell, I am a bit worried that the eyelets will rip due to them not being reinforced. I was also a bit skeptical of the large stack height (i own a pair of sock-like shoes which have a stack height of ~2mm) but this was a non issue for me while walking around.
All in all I can't recommend these more.
I got these for hikes and walks with my dog (not running, I have trail shoes for that) and to wear around the campsite on my road trip to Oregon.
Super comfortable and breathable. It's a shoe I never feel like taking off since it's so breathable and roomy while still having great heel lockdown for me (size 10 US, my feel are around 27 cm long 10-10.1 cm wide). The grip is good too, not too high a stack but also enough cushion to feel supportive when hiking.
This shoe made me realize non barefoot shoes are always a bit too narrow in the forefoot for me which is why they always tired me out after a few hours. These shoes are super comfortable.
This is currently my favourite piece of footwear.
It looks cool, feels great and is both smart enough with chinos yet versatile enough for the gym and trekking! I love them!
Great colour, comfort and style.
These are my go to pair.
