Versatile multi activity sports shoe for a variety of conditions.

Sizing True (ii)

This shoe fits true to size

The best guide for sizing your new Freet shoes is to start with your usual shoe size. Think about whether you always take this size or whether you sometimes need to go smaller or larger.

Customer feedback is that this style fits true to size; so order your normal size.

Our shoes are originally produced in EU sizes. All US sizes are the closest conversion so, if you know your EU size, you may want to consider using this.

The lengths shown are the Insole lengths (the actual shoe length will be 2 or 3 mm longer).

Sizing & Fitting Help

Measuring Your Foot

Sometimes as a second check it is worth measuring your foot. Feet can be different sizes so its worth measuring both and taking the largest.

Standing next to a wall place a piece of paper against the wall. Place your foot on the paper with your heel just touching the wall.

Measuring Your Foot
  • The next stage is easier if you get someone else to help do it.
  • Take a pencil or pen and trace the outline of the foot on the paper.
  • Start at the heel.
  • Keep the pen at 90 degrees to the paper, so vertical, see diagram.
  • Don't draw under the foot.
Keep pencil verical
Taking a ruler measure the length of the outline in millimetres. This will be the exact size of the insole you will need. To ensure the fit is not tight add another 5.0 - 10.0 mm to the length. If you wear thick socks then add that thickness to the length.

Measuring your outline

If possible, please work from the EU sizes (the US and UK sizes are nearest conversions to these sizes so will not be as accurate). The lengths and widths are the dimensions of the insole in mm measured as per the picture below:

Favourite Freets

Had my eyes on these for a while as I was drawn to the looks. On Black Friday I finally made the purchase.

This shoe blew me away. It’s so incredibly comfy and I LOVE the sock-like construction and the water resistant membrane. I usually wear chunkier boots on rainy days, but the Howgills are great for those and so much more flexible. The membrane does its job and keeps my feet warm on colder days. The Howgill basically replaced my leather boots. I love what you did here!!

Neutral suggestion: I’d love to see the exact same shoe with a more urban outsole, maybe the UrbanGrip or even the old MultiGrip. I use the shoe in urban settings a lot and the HillGrip is not bad, but not ideal for that. But I understand that the Howgill was built to be a trail runner, I’d just love to see a urban version of it with the sock cuff and water-resistent membrane 🙂

One criticism is the borderline uselessness of the pull tab in the heel, the loop needs to be a bit bigger to fit my finger through. Otherwise, remove the pull tab entirely (no big deal though).

One of the most comfortable shoes I've bought from Freet

One of the most comfortable shoes I've bought from Freet, although a little tricky to get on and off!
The laces are too long but stay tied at least.

In Love!

I simply live in my Howgills, have two pairs and will certainly buy more. The most comfortable shoes I own, either for everyday stroll or proper hiking, even on a difficult, rocky terrain. Good grip, breathable, and very light. Would love to find something like that for a rainy season.
