Watch now: Freet Hoppee | Andrew Explains – Everyday Barefoot Shoes for Active Kids

Flexible, Everyday Freedom 

Hoppee is ideal for:

• Daily wear at school or nursery
• Indoor play, parks, and playgrounds
• Active kids who need breathable, flexible shoes that don’t hold them back 

What makes it great:

• Roomy forefoot – lets toes spread naturally ✅
• Zero-drop sole – encourages free, natural movement ✅
• SoftFlex midsole – comfort and flexibility in one ✅
• UrbanGrip outsole – durable traction for pavements, classrooms and play ✅
• BottleYarn upper – lightweight, quick-drying, and sustainable ✅

Hoppee isn’t a rugged boot for wet, muddy trails — that’s what Tufee is for. This is about barefoot freedom for everyday life.

BottleYarn Upper – Breathable & Sustainable

The upper is made from BottleYarn, a technical mesh created from recycled plastic bottles. It’s soft and breathable, ideal for energetic movement in all but the coldest conditions. Unlike heavily lined shoes, Hoppee’s upper is mostly unlined (with just a small internal comfort patch), allowing air to circulate and feet to stay cool. 

UrbanGrip Outsole – Grip Without Stiffness 

Freet’s UrbanGrip outsole gives excellent durability for daily adventures, but stays thin and flexible enough to maintain ground feel and comfort. Great for kids who are constantly on the move — indoors and out. 

 

Two Fastening Options for Growing Independence

Hoppee is available in two closure styles, depending on size and stage of development: Double velcro (sizes 29–33): Ideal for younger children who want the confidence to get their shoes on and off themselves. Secure and simple. Elasticated laces (sizes 34+): No tying required — just a secure slip-on fit that feels more grown-up. Great for older kids who still want flexibility and a barefoot feel, but with a more mature design. 

Colour Options by Fastening

Hoppee is available in two colourways — both offered with either fastening style, depending on size:

• Navy Blue with Red accents
  • A bold blue upper with red collar trim and logo
  • Available as:
    • Double velcro (sizes 29–33)
    • Elasticated lace (sizes 34+) 
• Light Grey with Navy or Yellow accents
  • A pale grey upper with navy overlays –
  • Available as:
    • Double velcro with yellow strap trim (sizes 29–33)
    • Elasticated lace with full navy detailing (sizes 34+) 
• Both versions are designed to be fun, practical, and suitable for school and play.
