Danum

When I first bought these shoes, I was worried about the durability of the textile eyelets and the exposed stitching inside the shoe where the sole is attached. After more than 1000 km, everything held up perfectly. The stitching is a bit rubbed on the inside, but it doesn’t affect the function or integrity of the shoe at all. The only reason I’m buying a new pair is that I completely wore out the sole.I really appreciate Freet because they are one of the few brands that make shoes that fit the shape of my feet. This model seems to have a narrower heel, which is specific to this model — the other Freet models I own are not this tight in the heel. The heel does press and irritate my Achilles for the first few days, but it settles after a bit of wear or after the first rain. At the same time, this model feels slightly more spacious in the toe box compared to the Mudee L2.
I was also surprised that the original insoles have a different shape than the OrthoLite Insole I combine them with. Overall, these shoes are excellent — breathable, lightweight, and they dry quickly. After wearing out my first pair, I ordered another one without hesitation.

These are my first pair of barefoot shoes and I was amazed with how comfortable they are. The width is spot on, and it honestly feels like you don't even have any shoes on when wearing these. The quality is fab, and they look even better in person. I am also a big fan of the reinforced stitching around the sole. Time will tell how durable they are but I'm very pleased so far. Also I love the neutral earthy colour scheme/design of the shoe. Many other brands only seem to offer generic colors with black or white soles. The khaki green upper and brown sole are neutral enough to not be the focal point but still look very stylish. The colour pairing also helps to hide dirt/soil which is very handy.

I own and love several pairs of Freet shoes, but the Danum boots are definitely a standout favourite. I bought them for a long-distance coastal walk in southern Portugal, and they exceeded every expectation.

I was slightly nervous about wearing them straight out of the box without any “breaking in” time, but they felt natural and comfortable from day one, quickly moulding to my feet. Over almost 100 miles of walking, I didn’t get a single blister or sore spot.

The grip on the sole is fantastic and gave me real confidence scrambling up and down cliffs, tackling steep ascents and descents, and walking across everything from rocky paths to meadow trails.

I’d highly recommend them as a lightweight summer hiking boot. I genuinely felt sorry for some of the other hikers struggling along in heavy traditional walking boots!

Love these shoes. So comfy.

Amazing footwear so comfortable light and cozy can wear them all day no problem
