Great for high insteps

Bought these for my son who's feet are not quite men's and no longer kids. He likes to have room around his toes. He has a high instep and the stretch in these shoes has sorted that issue. We tried Flex but they have a low instep.

Very comfortable

This shoe is very comfortable, it feels like being in a sock. It is great for an easy trekking, but on longer or more technical trails I prefer a model that holds more to the feet, like the Feldom for example.

As with my previous purchases from Freet

As with my previous purchases from Freet, the quality of service and high quality of shoes have been excellent, from ordering to delivery and also probably most importantly the comfort and wearability of the shoes.

My new Freet Howgills have been very comfortable from the outset

My new Freet Howgills have been very comfortable from the outset. They are a little big for me but I'm coping. I wore them recently on a showery day, walking on some wet grass. Fortunately, I wore them with waterproof socks so my feet stayed dry. The shoes took a surprisingly long time to dry. On a very wet day, they would be hopeless, but I guess that's not what they are designed for.

Look and feel very impressive

Bought these to fulfill a long term need of barefoot shoes to use in wet cross country conditions. Early days yet but they look excellent. They fit more like a sock than a shoe. Literally feel melded to my feet. The lug grips look great. I shall update again after use in anger or threw sludge type tracks.
