Impala

Really impressed with my first pair of Freet hiking boots. Very comfortable, wore them on a long hike last wknd and had no discomfort. They had good grip & support on ankles. The ground was very wet in places there was no avoiding water and at the end of the hike my feet & inside the boots were bone dry and nice & cosy!

I've had these over the spring-summer and am absolutely loving them. The grip and feel of the terrain and rocks is exceptional and they feel so much more stable and grounded than "built up" boots. I'm skipping about, and I believe I'm never going to turn a heel wearing these. Unlike some reviewers, I deliberately bought a size SMALL. I will qualify that since it's probably unsuitable choice for everyone. I have size 45 and at 67Kg, have relatively slim feet. I bought 44. Barefoots are wider than many shoes, and I have found some other brands (example the big Vibr.. for example) have just far too much space, where my feet can rattle and slide about inside. (I have needed to return "Other" brands at my proper size because of this). Going a size small was slightly focusing to begin with since my toe was directly on the end, but was a perfect decision. - After a few hours, the soft leather bedded in beautifully, they are now just a perfect fit, no slop, plenty of space, and although my toe grazes the front occasionally, even on big descents (I've done a couple of Munros), - no problems whatever.

I've just bought a pair of your freet impala and I have to say I love that mountain grip. I've had hard soled walking boots all my life and I have consistently slipped and twisted ankles on rocky underfoot. These have been a game changer and I feel more secure on unstable surfaces than I ever have before..... This makes my third pair of freets and it won't be my last!

I bought a pair of these for myself to replace my 4 year old Tundra which I loved and a pair for my ‘barefoot reluctant’ husband. We have both been very impressed with both their comfort, level of waterproofness and their incredible grip on this very wet and Mudee winter. We both can’t recommend them highly enough. Great job Freet and good value for boots of this quality. Needless to say my husband has become a barefoot convert.
