I should start by saying that I have been wearing the original Feldom almost exclusively for over a year now. The Feldom 2 is everything that the original Feldom was and more.
The sole of the Feldom 2 is the perfect balance between ground feel and cushioning. It is the perfect shoe for just about every activity. I use it for everyday wear, walking the dogs, working out in my backyard, etc. The sole is also super flexible, and it has excellent grip on every surface that I have come across so far.
The Feldom 2 exceeds the original Feldom in terms of fit. I loved the original Feldom because of how roomy and wide the shoe was. It was the best shoe I could find to fit my wide feet. However, while the original Feldom was roomy, it didn't fit all that snuggly. Even when I tightened the laces up all the way, I still felt that I wanted it tighter. The Feldom 2 has solved this issue. The Feldom 2 is still just as roomy and wide as the original Feldom but it fits my foot much more securely. I barely even have to tighten the laces at all to get a secure fit.
I also want to comment on the looks of the Feldom 2. The pictures of the shoe online do not do it justice. I was worried I wouldn't like the look of the shoe that much, but I actually love how it looks, and I have gotten multiple compliments on it. The only thing we need now is more color options.
The only way I can see to improve the Feldom 2 would be to stitch the soles. The soles show no signs of separating from the shoe after about a month of wear, however, I am concerned that it will happen eventually because it happened with my orignal Feldoms. I am not sure why the soles are not stitched. From what I understood, Freet was going to be stitching the second generation of every shoe except for the waterproof shoes. Stitching the soles would ruin the waterproof bootee. Since the Feldom 2 is not waterproof, I see no reason for why the soles are not stitched.
In conclusion, the Feldom 2 is the greatest shoe that I have ever worn, and I would highly recommend it to anyone who struggles to find shoes for wide feet.
