Abbie Barnes (they/them)
Filmmaker, Presenter, Adventurer, Founder of Spend More Time In The WILD / Currently living in my van
I have been using barefoot shoes on and off since I was 13 years old as a way to bring me closer to natural movement and the feel of the earth. As a long distance hiker, foot health is paramount to all I do, and since discovering Freet my feet have been on many epic adventures!
I LOVE Freet because they are UK based, ethical, and SUPER comfortable. Plus, having a shoe for each activity is a real bonus. Oh, and did I mention that they are affordable?!
Josh
Barefoot Shoe Reviewer / San Diego, California, USA
Josh is a husband and father of 4. He has lived an adventurous life as an Army veteran, a massage therapist, and an IT & cybersecurity professional. He grew up in San Diego doing "California sports" like skateboarding, bodyboarding, snowboarding and skydiving. Nowadays, he most enjoys surfing, yoga and hiking. He has been wearing barefoot/minimalist shoes exclusively since 2012, and reviews them on YouTube and Instagram.
Freet is one of the few companies that fits my extra wide feet. They have consistently thin and flexible soles, and are more lightweight than many other shoes out there. I love the creativity and innovation with the sustainable materials, and the breathable mesh options are some of my favorite materials on the market. The folks I've interacted with at Freet have been professional and easy to work with on the affiliate side. Great company, great product, great people.

Andrew Folts
Filmmaker/Runner / Rochester, NY, United States
I started out as a shoe salesman back in 2017, but quickly discovered I felt better and better as I tried thinner shoes. Once I switched to barefoot shoes my frequent injuries went away and I began to enjoy hiking and running as an “adventure,” rather than a painful chore. Now I share what I learn along the way on YouTube with an audience of 27K+ fellow minimalists and barefooters.
What I love about Freet is the balance of toughness and flexibility, while also using natural and recycled materials for more affordable price that makes high-quality barefoot shoes accessible to anyone who wants to experience the joy of being fully outdoors.
Barefoot Universe - Katja & Tjasa
Barefoot bloggers, reviewers and educators, course creators / Europe
We are Tjasa and Katja and we are here to help people get started with barefoot shoes. We believe that everyone should be able to walk without pain and enjoy the benefits of going barefoot. We’ve been wearing barefoot shoes since 2016 now and we love it! But when we first started out, we had no idea what to look for in a pair of barefoot shoes that would work for us. That’s why our blog was born. To help others find their way into a healthier lifestyle by focusing on how much better your feet feel when they’re free from the constraints of traditional footwear. We are dedicated to helping people learn everything they need to know about barefoot shoes. We created our online course that is the ultimate guide for anyone who wants to get to know barefoot shoes and find their perfect ones. We review different brands of barefoot shoes, create shoe lists along with reviews of different models and blog about everything barefoot related, so everyone can find their dream pair.
We love the quality and comfort of Freet and love to use them for our free time and time in nature. We love how easy to clean they are and how well they hold up.

Barefoot Shoe Guide - Kelly
Barefoot Shoe Blogger & Content Creator / USA
I found barefoot shoes after a long search for more comfortable hiking boots. Ever since I had the light bulb moment that my narrow, tapered and heeled shoes were the source of a lot of pain and foot dysfunction, I started on my search for shoes that would be better for both my feet and body. I've been blogging about barefoot shoes since 2019. On the Barefoot Shoe Guide, my goal is to help you on your journey to healthy, pain-free feet by choosing better footwear and strengthening your feet and body.
As someone that enjoys hiking, I love that Freet creates shoes that are comfortable to walk in for miles (thanks to their barefoot design), are also rugged, durable and well-made, and use innovative, sustainable materials.
