Mudee 2

Unfortunately the Mudee 2 is nowhere near as good as the original when it comes to ground feel and flexibility. Although the stack height is supposedly the same, there appears to be a *lot* more cushion than the original. I thought my Feelground sneakers were fairly cushioned compared to some of my other barefoot shoes, but these are worse and I don't really feel the ground at all. They are also quite stiff and I have waited a while to see if they break in. There is an awkward line just beyond the laces that folds uncomfortably whilst walking that digs into the top of the foot. They may well be hardier and more waterproof, but I feel the primary criteria to judge a barefoot shoe should be its barefoot properties. That said, I don't know if there is anything better on the market currently for boots, other than the original Mudee.

I bought a pair of Mudee 2 a month ago and I am really pleased with them. In urban areas they work perfectly. Even in a downpour your feet will stay dry so that's great. But if you need a good grip for hiking or something for cold places look for another boot from Freet because these are warm with a good sock and the grip is only working in cities. Thanks!

Bought these as a replacement for my NaturContact shoes which were extremely comfortable, but not waterproof and completely disintegrated after less than a year. Mudee 2 is also very comfortable (and I have a very high instep) and having walked through soaking wet fields seems to be reliably waterproof. The grip on the sole is pretty good too. It is obvious to me that the quality is superior to my previous pair and as I've only had them a couple of weeks I am interested to see how well they wear and last. With winter walking approaching I will certainly put them through their paces.

I usually take a UK size 5, but measured my feet according to Freet instructions, and decided to go up a size for the Mudee 2. Glad I did, as even then I can still feel my toes against the front of the shoe. They are marvellously comfortable, though, and also appear to be waterproof.

Nice waterproof shoes. Not a drop of water entered and they are very comfortable.
