Arken 2

Very comfortable and warm. I usually prefer very thin soles for the proper barefoot experience, but needed some boots for hiking in rocky terrain where my feet would get too tired in my usual shoes. I am surprised how comfortable they are, and they barely need breaking in. Highly recommend.

These are great shoes. Warm. Comfy. And now proven in on hours long journeys.

Love these boots! So comfortably!!! Really good to cycle in, the soles grip to the peddles feels very secure.

Great winter boot, true to size.

Perfecr shoes! I use themm for work purposes but they are so nice that i wear them even in my free time too! Nice toebox, spacy feel and very good grip on steep grassy slopes! Very easy to keep them clean.

Comfortable and has good waterproofing

Very comfortable boot, and supports the foot superbly.
I have not had them out in serious weather yet but looking forward to it.

Lovely cosy lining, very comfortable.

I love these boots. They are really comfy and snug. I ordered my normal size and can feel the end on big toe so perhaps go a size bigger. I've been rock pooling in them and kept my feet totally dry.

Immediately comfortable, they keep my feet dry during walks with boggy water and I have plenty of room for my toes.

I had these in casual use this winter in Finland, and not once did my feet get cold, even when walking in -30°C. On the other hand, I did not stand still for notable periods, so I can't say how they would handle that.

The sole also has okay grip on ice and snow, they are not slippery like many summer shoes.

Love them, snug and stylish. Plenty of admirers...

I love them. Previously unless I squashed my feet into wellys, I would end up with wet and cold feet. Now they're toasty and dry.

Love these ones. Super warm and very comfortable. The lining makes them a little tighter than the Muddee, I got the next size up and that fits really well.
For me the 44 is a little more roomy than the 43 in the Muddee, which is good as it means I can wear thicker socks.

After two weeks of walking in snowy condtitions no complaints whatsoever! Dry and warm feet! Comfortable and well made! Highly recommend!

Great bots with extra warm. Perfect adjust and very cnfortable for my feet.

Great boots for the winter. I feel like a ninja!

Absolutely love these, my feet have been so comfortable, warm and dry. They look good too. The only downside is the couriers, be better if these could be collected from a locker box instead. Already had one pair of boots go ‘astray’ 😡.

They look nice, very comfortable but i used them for hiking and working around my car for the whole day when it was around 0 degrees and even though i had thick merino socks my feet were freezing by the end.

These are the comfiest, cosiest boots I have ever worn!!! I always think the mark of a good shoe is to forget you are even wearing them because your feet are so comfy and warm and these do exactly that!. I love the micro fleece lining. I have been wearing them in the muddy London parks but they definitely feel durable enough for hills / mountains aswell.

Such a good pair of boots- well made, wide toe box, roomy and comfortable. Sized up as my feet didn’t conform to the size chart recommendations. Initially was a bit concerned as felt my feet were quite sweaty in them, but they settled after 2 days of wearing in… not sure why, but all good now!

The shoes are warm, wide and waterproof. The grip is great in mud or dirt. On wet surfaces, it can be a bit slippery.
The shoes fit perfectly the first few walks. After a few hikes, however, they started rubbing against my achilles. I can’t seem to find a solution. I tried different socks, different lacing, but the friction is still there.

Yes they’re comfy and waterproof, but I am finding my feet get sweaty if worn for any length of time, which is not great.

I bought these having suffered chilly toes in my Tundras on a sub-zero evening showing friends the starry night for a couple of hours. Not quite as bedroom-slipper-comfortable as the Tundras, but still the sort of comfort that, after les than a minute you're not conscious of somethign on our feet. These are much more like "conventional" boots, in that you don't have quite the ground-feel that you get wite all my other barefoot shoes (but still better than "normal"walking boots) - but that is part of what enables them to be warmer.

So far, they seem robust, waterproof - and, with thick socks, sufficiently warm down to at least -5°C. Much below that, and I can resort to my Kamiks.

Warm, sturdy with lots of space for toes.

Normalerweise habe ich Schuhgröße 45 und manchmal 46. Beim Arken 2 habe ich Schuhgröße 47 gebraucht. Meiner Ansicht nach liegt es einerseits an der Fütterung, was den Schuh innen schmäler macht. Andererseits kommt es mir so vor, als ob die neuen Modelle am Vorderfuß grundsätzlich schmäler ausfallen. Letzteres habe ich auch z. B. beim Chamois festgestellt, der mir trotz ausreichender Länge zu schmal war.

Zum Schuh selber, der ist optisch sehr gelungen, hat eine tolle Sohle und ist angenehm zu tragen!!

Exactly as expected from my experience with wearing Free shoes for the past 5 years. High quality, fit for purpose, well designed and super comfortable. These are the most firm shoes I own - which is exactly as they should be given the intended purpose as a high quality walking boot. I trust these to protect my feet on a rocky walk, but generally use them for walking to work on mixed surfaces including tarmac in the rain and cold.

I bought These ro replace my older fabric Arkens which proved to be too small for heavy winter socks. I sized up the Arken 2 and they are great. Here in Vermont USA it is very cold so I use toe warmers most days. I like the new leather like solid tops material and the tread pattern is way better grip than before. They are warm and waterproof. Excellent

I've worn them for more than 2 weeks. Very comfortable boots - nothing rubs or squeezes. They stay warm at around 0°C, I haven't had chance to test them in lower temperatures yet.

Fantastic shoes.
Fit perfectly. Went a size up as suggested
Really warm and look great.
