Mudee L2

Excellent shoes, beautiful quality, fits wide feet, will buy again.

Fantastic boots. Wide enough for my severe bunion. Still look like ordinary boots albeit a bit wider. Only gripe is the chunky tongue which has to be pushed down and the laces really pulled over to get a tight fit.

Not quite as instantly comfy as the original Mudee, as these fasten higher up the ankle and feel a little stiff. But I'm sure they will soften with wear

Love these! A plush soft leather upgrade to my original Mudees I got a few years ago. Much improved sole grip with nice flexibility around the ankles so they can move freely and comfortably. Have found previous walking boots ungiving around the ankles but these really work well for me and look pretty smart in the black too so could be worn as a winter town boot.

Excellent quality material and the whole shoe is very comfy. The toe box looks markedly unusual (even compared to my 10+ barefoot shoes) but they're so roomy that it feels amazing.

My only criticism would be it would be nicer if the leather was more pale. The colour of the leather is a fantastic shade but the recommended weatherproofing significantly darkens them.

The sole is much more rigid than my other barefoot shoes but still flexible compared to similar mainstream shoes.

I have three pairs of winter boots. One is from Vivo and then I also have two Freet models - Esk and Mudee L2. I much prefer the fit of the Mudee but brought them for different weather types.

I tried the Mudee 2 as well as the L2 and prefer the fabric of the L2.

Very Comfortable and good quality. I like the wide fitting, the leather feels soft and good quality, the sole provides enough protection from rough ground but also keeps you in touch under foot. This is my third Freet product - I can see myself buying a fourth . . .

Very comfortable, pleasant styling but disappointed in ventilation. Very sweaty!

Completely blown away by these boots! Bought them off a recommendation by a good friend who has similar issues with fit & comfort. These boots are the most comfortable thing I've ever had on my feet! As long as they can survive the insane milage I do for mord than a hot second, I will be looking to get more for the varied terrains I enjoy exploring.

These are my second pair of Mudee L boots. I sized down a half size from last pair and achieved better fit. The L2 were comfortable out of the box and did not need much break in. There is plenty of toe room for my narrow foot and I can get a secure fit across the arch. As others have noted, the tongue does bunch up a bit if you cinch down the laces for a tight fit but it has not caused any discomfort for me. One of the boots has a bottom style lace ring installed near the top which looks a little odd but seems to work ok. The gum colored sole looks good and does not show soiling. I have not had occasion to test the water proof properties. Overall I am satisfied with the purchase and hope to get many miles out of them.

These seem well made and my number one requirement is that they be waterproof and so far they are. I live in an area that should have a lot of rain (but we don’t at the moment as we are suffering a drought), but still have a lot of dew in the mornings. Enough that it will soak shoes, socks and pants when out walking through the woods and meadows, which I do every morning. Also, my walks are not on paths, but cross country over roots, etc., so I like a little extra protection than some barefoot shoes provide, but not so much I lose the ground contact. These hit that sweet spot nicely. What I don’t like about them is the width and tongue. Even though I like a wide toe box, my feet are rather narrow, and Mudee L2 is a little wide for me. And my biggest complaint is the tongue. It is so thick and the way it is sewn in makes it very hard to tuck in between the two sides of the uppers. So the tongue just bunches up. It is quite unsightly, although the deer and turkeys don’t care (these are not town shoes), but it can be a little uncomfortable and makes it hard to really snug down the laces.

Best boots ever! So glad to finally find a true foot shaped "barefoot" boot! Soft broken in leather right out the box. Hope they offer a solid rubber outsole in the future instead of the nodes outsole. Regardless, will buy again!

ok, this is too early to give a proper review, i dont like first impression reviews. i have only worn them 3 or 4 times. So far, the sole is tough feeling and gives more protection than the internet would lead you to believe for a barefoot shoe. there has been decent reviews of Freet shoes being used for backpacking and with good results. the leather is beautiful. almost too beautiful, i dont want to get them dirty. they look like a proper shoe as well. they are suprising light for a leather hiker. they are definely warmer than the Tundra boot i just burned through. hopefully not too hot but i havent had a leather hiker for 5 years or so but they probably all are hot compared to Tundra. they dont seem to require any break in time either. so first impressions are good. time to beat the trail and get some miles on them.

Nicely spacious around the forefoot, which is always a problem zone for my "duck feet", even with barefoot shoes. I found the shoe uncomfortably hard around the top of my midfoot though, but that changed after a few hours of wearing. Because it's a leather shoe it does need a bit of breaking in. The sole is much thicker than I'd normally choose in a barefoot shoe, but I need them for rugged stony ground in the Spanish mountains, so it's exactly what I wanted.

Really comfortable and waterproof. If they last I'll be over the moon!

Great quality boot. Generous fit. Very comfortable on first wearing. Look as if they will be hard wearing on low land walking.

The best and only boots you’ll ever need!!

I wanted to love these, as I do my Skeeby’s, but after several weeks I find that the leather is inflexible so that when I bend my foot, there is one deep crease mark across the toes, which really digs in. It does not help that the metal lacing rings are right at that point. I also found that rain soaks into the leather, which is surprising for a new waterproof boot.

There is a visible line of material beneath the leather in the 4 foot that ends in the mid foot..
Doesn't look right... also not a fan of the way the tongue bunches up making more challenging properly secure the fit. Otherwise seems like a quality product. Returned for another style

Very wide but also very comfy. My only hesitation is the lacing. I might try reconfiguring.

I love the shoes, they are comfortable and varm during the vinter. They are very good quality.

What a great pair of boots. My feet are used to barefoot boots and they instantly loved these new ones. They are extreamly comfortable on first wearing. My only niggle is that the flat laces don't slide through the eyelets very well so they are more difficult to tighten. Worth putting up with and round laces might work better which I will try at some point.

Very comfortable. Like that the flat laces havehooks designed for flat laces, different to my Mudee 2 which has round laces with different hooks, impressive.

Love them! I have high volume feet and I can easily wear nice warm thick wool socks with these boots keeping my feet warm and dry. To date I’ve o ly been on soft muddy ground with leaves and the boots have coped well and I’ve stayed upright! Looking forward to a wet soggy winter and nice warm waterproof boots this winter!

Great boots, very good sole that grips. Nicely made and look good. Comes highly recommended

Love these, great wide fit and so far standing up the cold wet conditions in the Scottish Highlands. So pleased to have found a barefoot boot that fits me.

The size 9 are perfect for my 8.5 feet. After a few days the leather was a bit softer and even more comfortable. A great winter barefoot boot, highly recommended for those with any bunions. I wish Freet shoes could be found on the high street so one could try them on, instead of sending wrong sizes back. Saying that customer service is great and easy.
Great footware, thanks for developing them..

Very impressed
No need to break in- comfortable from fist wear.
Have been wearing them on several hikes- includng a very soggy one- no water penetrated through. Will definitely be wearing these a lot this winter.

Adore. Bought 41 for 25,4 foot, to wear with thick socks. Wore in the rain, stayed dry, good grip.

Great boots for extra wide feet, soft straight away, no break in. Good amount of cushion underfoot. Brilliant boots

After two abortive attempts at finding the right size, my third attempt was a hit.
They are just right and I have put a 6mm foot bed inside. So far they are comfortable and supportive. All good!
