Esk 2

They are some of the most comfortable barefoot shoes I've worn, and the leather makes them good in all kinds of temperatures.

One issue I have is that the sole is extremely slippery on rock/tile surfaces when wet to the point that they're dangerous. Almost fell on my arse in a restaurant when coming in from the rain.

Fantastic shoes, they really mould to your feet after a few days walking.

Super soft right out of the box, roomy toe box and they fit like a glove with a thicker sock. I have pretty wide and tall feet and i got my usual number and they're perfect. Highly reccomend.

Wore these for a week climbing and walking in the Lake District and they were comfortable, grippy and robust but still flexible enough to feel the rocks underfoot. It wasn’t wet so cannot attest to how waterproof they are yet!

Sehr zufrieden super Produkt

I just got my Esk, but I already love them. So comfortable, spacious and and well made. I look forward to many adventures in it!

Fabulous- my second pai!!

This is my second pair of esks and they are so comfortable. I have worn the first pair almost every day for 18months they are still good but now have this new pair for best and they are great.

Good, but beware of the size.
It says true to size - and even after measuring my feet (23cm) and checking their instructions on how much extra room to have, the 37 is too small. They recommend adding 5-10mm for extra space, butI would say min 7-8mm.
So sad, because they are quite expensive, and as I have worn them outside, I do not know what to do now..
But,they are really good quality!

Bought these shoe for travel by train through Europe this winter. It was waterproof and comfortable and good for all the types of terrain from cobbled streets to countryside walking.

Very comfy and seemingly high quality. The right metal eyelet on the right foot hurts me, but this is more of a fit problem with my feet.

Otherwise great shoes, i would only warn that you must have long socks for them.

Good quality, very comfy

So comfy

These are my first barefoot shoes for winter season. I had doubts but they turned to be unfounded. The shoes are warm enough and really comfortable of and off the road.

Loving my Esk 2s. Really wide toebox, even wider than my other Freets so nice and roomy for my extra wide feet. Also like the fact that there's no waterproof lining. I'm not a fan, they are too hot most of the year. I prefer my feet to breathe. I wish more leather Freets were lining free.
Usk 2s are my favourite Freet so far andI'vebeen wearing them since 2017

I could see the quality the moment I opened the box. They look, feel, and smell like carefully made premium leather shoes. I ordered my usual size 43 which seems to be spot on.

Tough shoes great for winter in town. Would be fine on a country lane.

One quibble - no loops for pulling them on.

I love my Esks!
This is my third pair of Freet shoes and they just keep getting better. I had some of the original Mudee’s which were and are great (I had two major issues with those though, the first was that the soul tread was so thin that I wore it through in one 12 hour walk, fortunately my local cobbler is very capable and I’ve had them resoled with a much thicker grip pattern, the other issue was that they were also only waterproof for that one walk, I’m not a fan of leather boots with waterproof lining, just keep them well oiled and waxed!). I use the Esk boots as work boots, i’m a lime plasterer, spend lots of time up and down ladders, but have no tolerance for regular workboots.
Because of the nice thick leather, I think the Esks will last me over a year, at which point I’ll probably have them resoled, that’s how long my tread tends to last. They have loads of grip, and I’ve got the rock plate inside them, so there’s plenty of stiffness to allow me to stand on a ladder for long period periods. If you pardon the pun, they tread the line between protective and supportive, and flexible and spacious. I can see these being my work b
oots for years to come.

Excellent shoes, extremely comfortable, with especially soft leather. More water-resistant than Esk1, they have replaced my trail walking shoes, and my office shoes, and I've worn them in slightly more demanding hikes, and although they're not meant for this, they were just fine. They're comfortable and soft enough to replace my slippers, too.
The shoelaces are better from the ones on Esk1 for some strange reason. In Esk1 I'd always have to redo them; with Esk2 they seem to stay tied no matter what.

wonderful service from Freet I had bought a pair not too long ago and quickly became my favourite walking shoes whenever I had the chance to go out as I wear specific work shoes on most days however my shoes developed a slight issue rather quick and when I asked Freet for advice on how to repair they responded very kindly with a new improved pair. so all I can say is that Freet and it's wonderful people make it a top brand in my book😉👍
