Milo

Can we take a minute to appreciate how beautiful Milo is? The pictures on the website do not show that. I contemplated for a few months before buying them as I thought they will look funny, and there were no reviews to support. I even bought a different brand before deciding to go back to Freet as my favourite brand. The moment I got Milo out of the box I was surprised. The yellow colour I was concerned about looks perfect.

I only wore them once to the gym and they felt and looked great. I am not strange to Freet and like the option of having an insole if you don’t like 100% barefoot experience which is good for those still getting used to barefoot as well. Their products are strong (another pair had been with me for almost 2.5 years), but yet to see how long Milo will last.

I'm using these for pickleball, weight training workouts and walking. The tread itself is fine, but I would like a thicker stack on the rubber sole to absorb the pounding better even if the tradeoff is extra weight. Definitely need the Ortholite insert for cushioning. The lateral support across the toe box does make things more cramped than a shoe like the Feldom so just be aware of that. I definitely notice it wearing socks. I'm sure they will continue to stretch out over time. There is no padded liner around the opening like the trail shoes so that is another opportunity where I would like to see something added for more comfort. Overall a good shoe but I think they could make even better with some tweaks.

Simply - I wish I had bought these earlier.

They are unbelievably comfortable and absolutely brilliant in the gym, especially for lower body sessions. They are so good that my Personal Trainer is looking to buy a pair.

A total convert, so much so that I am buying another range for everyday use at home.

Freet shoes fit my feet better than anything I’ve worn in my adult life (I’m 65). The spacious toe box gives the perfect amount of breathing room.

I enjoy wearing barefoot shoes to the gym but wanted something with a little more structure for Step and weights classes. I have been delighted with the way Milo gives a slightly more precise movement, for example when treading on and off the step. Similarly, when lifting weights, my feet feel more grounded in my Milos while giving the same barefoot comfort. Highly recommended

Really impressed. A very nice barefoot gym shoe and an even better cycling shoe. Whatever reinforcement is in there makes putting power down on the pedals very comfortable. Still extremely flexible and non supportive feeling when walking around. Will buy again!

Great traction
Toe space is plenty and has a nice fit and feel for the court whether playing racquet sports or ball this is lightweight and make me feel free!

Really comfortable straight out of the box. This is my third pair of Freet shoes and they didn’t disappoint. If thd last two pairs are anything to go by they will last .

I've been a fan of Freet shoes for years now and I think the Milo is the fourth shoe of theirs that I've tried. They're great - they feel really well made with lots of nice details such as the little strip of padding just behind the achilles tendon, which really do make them more comfortable. They're pitched as workout shoes and no doubt they'd be great for that, but I'm just wearing them as everyday footwear at the moment and they're perfect for me - very light, comfortable, durable and very good-looking.
The sole feels a little bit thicker than some other Freet shoes, which is great for cycling - very thin soles can be a bit uncomfortable on the pedals. There's still loads of flexibility though.
They felt slightly on the large side for the stated size, but I think that's because they fit so well - normally I have to buy shoes that are slightly too long to get space for my little toe, because most manufacturers don't make shoes that are the same shape as an actual human foot, whereas with these the shape is so good that you could possibly go a size down if you were trying to decide between two sizes.
I think Freet have made a bit of a classic here and I only hope they keep on making them - I'm still mourning the end of the 4+1 range, although I have a couple of pairs stashed away to keep my big toe happy and independent for a few more summers...

Wow! Love the colour and the detail. I got these to try out as Padel shoes, and they really do hit the spot. The reinforcement in the heel area and stitching around the toe really gives that control you need for quick change of direction whilst still feeling connected to the court.
As a bonus, they have also become my favourite cycling shoes (I have pedals with good grip) - a win win I think !

We've spent a long time trying to find wide fit shoes that we can wear when we're out on the bikes. I can't wear things like FiveTens any more, they really hurt my feet and are far too narrow.

Anyway, after speaking with Andrew from Freet, we decided to give these a go.

And they're incredible! I have quite large pins in my pedals, and although I can feel them, they're not uncomfortable. So far, we've ridden red and black trails in both Scotland and Yorkshire, and neither us have slipped a pedal. The shoes offer a reasonable amount of grip - it's not as much as a "true" flat pedal MTB shoe, but it's enough to keep you planted and your feet very comfortable.

We've ridden a few hundred miles in these so far, and there aren't any marks from the pedal pins in the soles either, they're holding up very well.

I'd highly recommend these to anyone looking for wide fit MTB shoes.

I've only used them for an hour so I don't know if that's enough to review.
They don't slip on the parquet floor and they provide good foot stability, but I think they're more for the gym than for indoor sports like I need them. For table tennis, which I need them for, they're a little too rough, especially around the ankle. For indoor sports, a sneaker should be somewhere between a Flex and a Milo.
I hope to try something like that soon.

Good fit lightweight and comfortable.

Habe nach einem Schuh mit mehr Halt gesucht, und beim Milo gefunden. Die Qualität ist wie immer bei Freet sehr gut, der Preis ,wie ich finde, auch!!

As a dedicated gym goer who loves my squats and deadlifts I was really excited to try the new Milo.

I was advised to try the same size as I wear in my other Freet shoes and they feel a little roomier but I think sizing down might have been a little restrictive.

The Milo take a little more getting used to because they feel like a much firmer shoe than my other Freets, but this is what makes them ideal for a good solid base for weight lifting. I love the look of them, slightly quirky and I'm so pleased with my purchase!

Great quality!
