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.

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:

Good while they last

I bought the Rockplates for a GR11 Part-Thruhike in the Pyrenees. I used them for about 300kms. I cut them to size to fit into my Freet Feldoms (which are great by the way).
The Rockplates worked fine for a couple of days but started tearing very quickly. I taped every new crack with ducttape and they were soon covered in it.
Still they make a significant change to protection from rocks beneath the regular insole of the Feldoms, so if Freet will figure out a way to make them last longer, I would be happy to try them again.

Hi Paulina, sorry for this, and thanks for the feedback - I think the office is replacing yours. We've got a better material (less brittle) for the next generation of Rock Plate. Regards, Andrew

I recently got the new Connect 2 and the rock plate as well. The idea and the material used is good and it should perform as intended. The flexibility to remove the plate is a nice feature. Being that the insole is removable makes this possible. However I have a few issues with it.

It will add even more stack height (obviously) unless you trim it so it fits within the stitching. (Andrew says he will start cutting them for each shoe size soon). Even then I suspect more trimming will be needed. Then since the material is very smooth your foot will slide around some, which I didn't care for. Maybe creating a texture on both surfaces will be good enough? It's something I will probably do to see the affects.

I personally would have incorporated the rock plate into the shoe instead knowing what I know now. However doing so would change the purpose of the shoe.
