Selva

I bought these as I live in the jungle, and had decided I needed different hiking boots for warm climates vs cold climates.
First time trying Freet- size seems good. I got my regular size (UK 5 / EU 38)for my 23x10cm feet and anticipating I would only be wearing thin socks with them (for warm weather boots I went a size up to fit with thicker socks).
The left shoe I have absolutely no problem. However the right shoe rubs under my ankle bone and took the skin off. I don’t know if the difference is in my foot shape, a slight difference in the way the right shoe fabric sits, and whether the bottle-yarn material will mould better to the shape of my foot over time - but right now I would not be able to do long hikes in them.
Only time will tell!

Great Shoe, fits well

Much like Danum, this shoe has potential. Same minus points apply:
- When you tighten the laces on the sock-like upper, it feels very fragile, as if it could tear with light use.
- There is no padding around the heel, which feels uncomfortable

These are my one of my favorites. They fit around my feet losely and snug enough. Sole is great, grip is great also on wet iron things. Durability is excellent, they are really strong. Only room for improvement, as with all freet, is that the tongue of the shoes could be stitched up a little higher so that it can keep the little stones out a bit better. But perhaps that would compromise the fit. I walk on them every day several kilometers for 6 months now.

Like these alot Have had other Freet shoes and have always been pleased Don't know how they would hold up in wet conditions but find them comfortable and supportive

Der Selva ist dem Vorgängermodell Swale optisch zwar sehr ähnlich, aber leider vom Tragegefühl überhaupt kein Vergleich. Das Material ist viel steifer. Das macht sich besonders unangenehm im Fersenbereich bemerkbar sowie im Bereich vor der Schnürung, wo sich bei jedem Schritt eine Falte bildet. Der entstehende Knick drückt auf den Vorderfuß und sieht außerdem auch nicht gut aus. Die etwas dickere Sohle wirkt stabil und haltbar, reduziert aber auch das Barfussgefühl erheblich. Alles in allem nicht so angenehm am Fuß wie erhofft, was ich aber leider erst nach wiederholtem Tragen richtig bemerkt habe.

The comfiest shoes I’ve ever put on! I’ve literally worn nothing else since I received these shoes, and I’m yet to find a single thing I don’t like. From mooching about on holiday to 3-4hour cliff top hikes these shoes have done a lot in the 3 weeks since they arrived. So good I have bought another pair in the sale so I’m ready when I wear them out. Brilliant

Super flexible, good ground feel and grip, comfy stretchy breqthable upper.

I was looking for a hybrid hiking pair to use during the dry heat in the summer that was a bit more lightweight than my leather, water-resistant pair, and I am very happy to say that I was successful with this pair from Freet.

They are comfy, sturdy, and lightweight. Exactly what you need for the summer. I tested them in the Alps, so good for trails and stony terrain.

The shoe fits well and has plenty of room. The sole provides good traction on rough terrain.
It's a bit slippery on wet rocks.
A very good shoe that offers great value for the price.

Totally loving these shoes, I'm a convert to barefoot shoes and especially Freet. I do a lot of walking and it feels as though these shoes are doing my feet and my overall structual movement and a lot of good. Thankyou Freet!

Supe Schuh. Bequem, leicht.

Soft, comfortable!

Better than I imagined. Very comfortable. Wear them round the house when the wifedoesn't catch me...

Visually, I really liked the Selva. It looks high-quality and, when worn, has the appearance of a great hiking boot. I typically hover between sizes 39 and 40, but in this case, the 39 was definitely the right fit for me, as the shoe runs quite large. Unfortunately, neither size was comfortable. The fabric over the instep bunches up when rolling through a stride, pressing uncomfortably into the foot with every step. Furthermore—for my taste—the sole wasn't minimalist enough; the strong tread pattern caused the barefoot sensation to get somewhat lost.

Perfect fit, very trendy colour, lightweight, but a bit tougher. My new favourite footwear.

Look great compared to my other Freet shoes, grip and treads seem good but it's unfair to compare them to say Vivo Forest Esc for the price. The top eyelets don't feel reinforced enough for long term use.

Very comfortable. Easy to walk on sand which was my prime reason for purchasing. The upper rubs slightly on my ankle so socks will be necessary

I’ve really put the Selva Freet shoes through their paces over the past few weeks, wearing them daily as a survival instructor out in the Philippines while running jungle-based courses—and they’ve been brilliant.

They’ve handled everything I’ve thrown at them: durable and grippy on the jungle floor, comfortable on sand, and incredibly practical when constantly moving in and out of water. One of the standout features is how quickly they dry, which is a huge advantage in humid, tropical environments.

They also fit beautifully and, importantly for me, allow my feet to properly connect with the ground. That natural feel is something I really value, especially when navigating varied terrain—it gives you better awareness and control.

A genuinely reliable, versatile shoe that I’ll continue to use in tough environments.

Great and comfortable shoe. The sole is a little bit thicker perfect for hiking or trailrunning.
Would buy it again.

Wow Freet have done it again with these! The comfort and fit is incredible (as you would expect with Freet) but what really stands out with these is the fresh design, would definitely recommend
