I was looking for a while for shoes with the following characteristics:
Barefoot Shoes
Vegan
Made in the EU more eco friendly / not made in China or Bangladesh
When i found Freet i thought you invest some money so that these characteristics get fullfilled.
Barefoot shoes for like 50-70 Euro you are able to find online easily but they are made in China. Unnecessary not eco friendly transport and fabrication.
I was looking for barefoot vegan shoes made in the EU fabricated under fair conditions. And i thought hey these Freet Vibe shoes here cost more, offered by a company from the United Kingdom, so they are hopefully made in the United Kingdom or in the EU.
The sender address of my package came from Czech in the EU. So i thought these shoes are made in east europe.
Unfortunately in my shoes i was able to read ''made in China''.
So i payed slightly more money to get shoes made in the EU but they are made in China as well as many other cheaper barefoot shoes.
The quality of the shoes is very good and they feel comfortable to wear.
Just the detail that these shoes are made in China and not the EU bothers me.
