Salcombe

Unfortunately, the back buckle of the sandals is too big and digs into my ankle, so I have to return them. It's a real shame because they are super wide and soft and the soles can be great even for concrete. For 24cm long feet size 38 is perfect.

Son maravillosas. De lo más cómodo y ajustable que he encontrado. Desde el primer uso se sienten como un guante. No pongo cinco estrellas porque destiñen (las de color negro) y es difícil quitar luego todo el tinte de los pies. Las he tratado para fijar el color ya de dos formas. Espero que funcione o que con el tiempo dejen de soltar color. Pero quitando eso, son unas sandalias que recomendaría a todas las personas que tengan pie ancho y quieran ir cómodas.

These sandals were comfortable from day one. They're soft, flexible, and caused no rubbing at all. They allow natural foot movement, provide good cushioning, and offer plenty of width and volume. With a foot length of 24 cm, I chose size 38, which is more than long enough. In fact, I have a little extra space in front, and I've tripped a couple of times because the open front lets my toes lift while walking, but the sole doesn't.

Overall, they're very comfortable for mild summer weather. I would love to try Freet's closed shoes as well, but unfortunately they're too narrow for my feet.

I followed the sizing guide and received the correct size. The leather and buckles are very nice. No rubbing and comfortable from first wear. The sole material and thickness is also nice. The biggest reason for the 3 stars is because the heel and toe both curve downward. Because of this inherentdownward curve, it is constantly being caught on even the slightest incline. I have worn for 6 weeks , perhaps it is slightly better. I like the look and comfort is good but it actually inhibits you normal walking gait.

I have only worn mine about 6 times and the prongs on two buckles snapped off when adjusting the size. The second one broke recently while I was going through TSA so I had to flop around in the airport trying to keep it from falling off until I found my gate and was able to fix it using a bread tie. The glue used also doesnt seem like it's going to hold well. Definitely not worth the price. Wish I went with something that used higher quality materials. Pretty bummed.

Finally, some stylish barefoot sandals, a great alternative to Birkenstocks. They look good quality and very comfortable, perhaps stiffer than expected for true barefoot shoes, which makes them more stable and protected. The grip and durability of the sole remains to be tested. In Freet, I'm between a 42 and a 43, and these fit perfectly with a 42. On the downside, the right sandal arrived warped and with one of the inner straps quite loose; I had to apply glue because I was too lazy to keep returning and exchanging them, as they're otherwise perfect.

Thank you so much freet for making these! They are so comfy and look just like I hoped! The leather feels soft and quality, they have a thicker sole than other sandals I have which is a plus for me. The width is generous and because you can adjust the straps they allow for a very wide forefoot like mine! I’m so happy to have found these! They run large so for reference, my feet are 23.5x10.5 and the uk4 is a perfect fit. They are good for a high volume foot with plenty of adjustments available. They are very flexible and light.

I love them!

These are the most comfortable footwear I have ever worn! My feet love them and feel like they have plenty of space. I have been wearing barefoot shoes for over 2 years and these are by far better than anything I have worn before.

Apart from running bigger than expected, they possess the sturdiness and support of the Lundy - my summer favorites for 2026. The sole is supportive and has a bit of cushion. The design is unisex, the fit is wide, the straps are sturdy, but comfortable straight from the box. The upper is breathable and behaves nicely in hot weather; the only downside for me is the sweaty insole - I have to regularly put some foot powder to avoid slipping around. The dye is also stable - despite all the sweating, the leather doesn't stain /I have the brown version/. What I appreciate most is the springiness - I have capsulitis and metatarsal pain, and I can't feel it with the Salcombe at all, which is a way around the orthopaedic shoes podiatrists are recommending.

Very comfortable sandles.fit well.made my feet black which I hope will stop with wear.

Love love love these sandals I have both colors and wear them all the time, super comfy and look great, I have had so many compliments

Great idea, great fit, great flexibility.
BUT let down by flimsy hardware. The pins from two of my buckles came off on the first day just from normal use. Luckily I didn’t lose them and could just squeeze them back on, but you should provide spares!
I’ve scuffed the top of the soles a couple of times and it has worn quite a lot, it’s soft.
Hopefully they’ll last a long time because they feel better than any other shoes or sandals I own.

The shoes are great.
The courier company, Evri, that Freet use are utterly useless.
I was told on several days that my delivery would be 14:30-16:30, for example, only to receive a later message, usually around 15:00, saying they couldn’t deliver and would try again on the next working day.
This continued for over a week.
In fact, the shoes were delivered 12 days after the first time I was told they were out for delivery.
It is virtually impossible to contact or speak to Evri directly and when I did eventually receive some email communications after leaving a very angry voicemail the various reasons given for the non deliveries contradicted each other.
When Freet became aware of the situation they contacted me to inform me that they would re-send my order, via Royal Mail Tracked delivery, and sent a return address label to return the original order should it ever turn up.
That delivery arrived in less than 48 hours.
So, thank you Freet for rectifying the situation promptly.
However, the question is, as, generally, delivery costs are borne by the customer, why not use Royal Mail or a more reliable courier in the first place.
Ironically, the original delivery arrived as I was literally writing a thank you email to Freet.
Interestingly, it was not delivered by an Evri operative but by a local independent/self employed operator.

Very comfy but dye my feet black so am not wearing them

I have been wearing them almost every day and they are quite comfortable. They are a little hard to get the strap in the buckle around the back but I am a larger person which makes that more difficult. The buckle just seems a little flimsy when trying to get the strap through it. It keeps moving around. Overall though I am enjoying the sandals!

Good quality and super comfortable. I have given them four stars because of the dye still coming out of them after a month of wearing.

They’re great. The sole is the right side of not too thin and the width is wonderful for my feet to spread out in properly. I had a problem with the first pair melting in the car and they were really helpful sorting this out straight away and as they weren’t fixable at the cobblers, they sent a new pair straight away. I also have the walking boots too and they have transformed enjoyment of walks for me as well now my toes aren’t rubbing together.

So comfortable, even when walking in woodland. Only thing I'm mindful of is that a lot of dust and dirt from regular street walking gets trap in the same.

Salcombe meets my expectations 100% since it is a great alternative to Birkenstocks which have a rather rigid sole and are much too expensive. They are also great for wide or very wide feet. The only deficit: They will tint your feet black.

I just got the Salcombe and I really wish they were for me. Unfortunately the back of the Sandal is too long and wide and the srap on the heel to floppy.
They feel absolutely amazing and look stunning.
Unfortunately, the fit is not for me and I will have to return them.

Comfortable and look good but are still staining feet black after a fortnight of wearing them most days. Sometimes catches the ground at the front due to the thin, flexible sole. Maybe future designs could account for these two concerns? But overall, a lovely pair of sandals that I enjoy wearing.

I really love Freet shoes and have had excellent experiences with the closed shoe designs. These sandals though have proved problematic because of the design. The sole is almost flip flop like and the design means your foot moves independently of the front of the sole (unlike a more built up, moulded cork sole type of sole). This means the front part keeps catching on the ground and folding under my toes as I walk. As a result I can’t use them for anything longer than a stroll, during which I flex my toes upwards! The feel otherwise is so comfortable and the straps are good quality with a lovely feel, so it’s a pity my feet and gait dont get on with the soles!

Salcombe

My all-time favourite sandals! These are, hands down, the most comfortable shoes I own. All 3 straps are fully adjustable and they're made of really soft leather.
The sole is thicker than most barefoot shoes, which I personally love because my feet get quite sore with thin soles! This had the perfect amount of cushioning. The sole is also very flexible and I felt comfortable walking on all kinds of terrain. I'm very impressed!

Have worn them several times now , sometimes on long walks , very comfortable . Had gotten compliments on how nice they are

Such a great summer show, flexible, comfy. Only complaint is the black color rubbed off on my feet the first two weeks so far
