Vibe

These are amazing shoes. I'm new to barefoot shoes and did a lot of research before purchasing these (including trying other brands - Vivobarefoot (too narrow) and Xero Shoes (too stiff)). The Vibe trainers are honestly perfect. They are properly wide, not overly long, snug in the heel, and have a healthy amount of volume space - the perfect shape for my feet. And bonus - they look great! They look foot-shaped, but close enough to "normal" shoes that they don't stand out like some other brands. The faded colour design is really stylish.

I walked about 10 miles yesterday, and these held up very well. Super comfortable, but I still felt "barefoot." I could feel the ground but my feet were well protected. I didn't feel rushed to take them off when I got home, and my feet are not sore at all. I was a little worried they might be hot (and it's currently one of many heatwaves in the UK) but I didn't notice so assume that was fine too. No breaking in needed - although I will be careful as the guidance is to ease into fully barefoot to avoid injury. I could definitely tell my posture and gait changed on the walk, but in a good way. (I'm in my 30s and have an athletic background but have had many hip/leg/ankle injuries if that's a helpful data point.)

I did size up as that was recommended, so got a 6 instead of a 5. The sizing chart is super helpful, showing the inside length and width of the shoe, which many other companies don't do. My left foot is a centimetre shorter (23.5cm) than my right (24cm) and I have pretty wide feet (9-10cm). The UK 6 fits great. Try them on at the end of the day when your feet are at their biggest!

I also love that this company is based in the UK and family-run, as I try to support local business where I can.

Really pleased with these shoes! Even more comfortable than other barefoot shoes I have tried, and at a fraction of the price. Pretty "normal" looking too which is a bonus. Will definitely be trying some more from Freet!

Great shoes, been wearing them on my walking holiday and they are perfect

These shoes are wide enough for my toes, I actually have narrow feet over all, but my toes are almost always jammed. Affordable and well made barefoot shoes, that's Freet!

So comfy! I love them

My son really likes these, we're on his second pair, he wears them all the time. It would be great to have more colour options and also this style in a more waterproof upper for those rainy days. They fit well and come with excellent insoles.

Ordered wide, sent me regular size. I paid $16 return shipping for their mistake :(

Typical Freet comfort - wide and generous toebox, a bit more underfoot protection than most barefoot models. As I am currently dealing with metatarsalgia and second toe capsulitis, most barefoot soles are simply too thin to be comfortable - the Vibe is not rigid; however, it provides just a bit of cushion and support. The ortholite insole is also worth mentioning - the best-balanced insole between ground feel and protection. For harder surfaces, I also use the rock plates and - if the pain is worse - the prescribed orthotics - Freet are one of the few brands that allow my wide and high-instep feet to fit with thicker orthotics.

These were my first ever pair of Freets! They were my only pair of shoes for about two years I believe and they are still in great shape. Zero rips and there is still plenty of tread on them. The only issue is that now the light grey part and the white bottom half of the shoe are stained dark and look dirty. But after daily use for so long and very few washes (I’m really lazy), that’s pretty expected. I ended up buying a new pair of Freets that are all black (so I can’t stain them this time), but I would absolutely recommend the Vibes. I have zero complaints. Great shoes and great company! My toes are spread out and my feet are happy! I already know I’m going to be a lifelong customer.

Can't find a single thing to complain about. The sizing recommendations were valid - order one size larger than your real size. Very comfortable and light. We'll see about durability, but I hope they last a long time.

Second pair of Freets I have had. These are so comfortable from the first time you put them on. No breaking in needed. I always recommend them to friends and family. True to size.

I love it. I wanted something to switch from my Nike trainers. Love it for running.

I really like these shoes. They are comfortable and very light. They do size small, so be aware and take one size up.

Completed a 10k run in them today. They fit perfectly and have a decent amount of cushioning with the supplied insoles. They were extremely comfortable to run in and would be great for anyone new to barefoot shoes or anyone who just desires a little extra cushioning.

I was a little unsure about these shoes at first because of how thick the tongue was, but they’ve been great so far! Thin and flexible with just a bit of cushion. Love how wide the toebox is!

Extremely pleased. Have been wearing barefoot shoes exclusively for about 6 years, but only recently have gotten back into running. These shoes are perfect: lightweight with a roomy enough toe box so I do not experience any metatarsal pain whatsoever. First time out went for a 20km walk.
The only observation I can make is that the removable insole will probably feel tight and strange to those used to barefoot shoes, but easy enough to remove so not a problem.

Gut, passende, bequeme Barfußschuhe, die ich für den Sport in der Turnhalle nutze. Sie sind dafür, auch wegen der weißen Sohlen, sehr gut geeignet.
Ich habe die Schuhe, wie empfohlen, eine Nummer größer bestellt.

Very quick delivery, extremely comfortable, got the envy of everyone in the gym!

Finally a shoe with a wide toe box, wide midfoot with a heel that is snug enough so there is no slip. These were the Vibe V1. I ordered my usual US M8 size and it was too big. Then I see they map M8 to 42 and other manufacturers map it to 41. I wish they would standardize these things. I exchanged for a 41 and it fits me.

Been wearing barefoot shoes for a while, so I didn’t need the ortholite inserts. Thought that they were a bit too small even though I ordered my regular EU size 43. Once I took out the inserts, they were perfect! Comfortable and stylish.

A good shoe with a big toe box and not too much volume . Feel like slippers , great on most surfaces and they dry quick too. I ve had them for about 6 months and holding up well

Nice shoes!

Son el segundo par que me compro,me sorprendieron por su comodidad, la suela es flexible y ligera, lo que hace que caminar o entrenar con ellas sea una experiencia muy agradable.
Pero me equivoqué en este pedido con la talla. Suelo usar un 38, pero este modelo me quedó algo justo. Me compraré otro par , esta ves del 39 Recomiendo pedir una talla más para quienes estén entre dos números o prefieran un espacio adicional en la puntera.
En general, son una excelente opción para quien busca una sensación más libre y natural al caminar.

Just got them last week and have already been running in them a few times and they are fantastic. Comfortable, and sturdy. I highly recommend them!

Comfortable from the word go

Comfortable and longer lasting than other barefoot brands but still hoping for extra wide versions. Keep improving! Excited for future versions!

Packing was good and shoe quality very good

Love this shoe! Great allrounder for everyday activities and walks. Very happy to have these as my first barefoot shoe. They are cushioned enough for this transition period but also barefoot enough to feel the surface. Usually am size 39 but went for 40 and the size is perfect.

I cannot give an extended review, since I've not been wearing them long. However my first impression is they are a delight to wear while playing tennis or jogging. The barefoot experience gives me more agility which is perfect. Tennis is a sport where you have to do lots of accelerations, that may increase the degree of wear and tear. The Vibe does not have a very strong border to enforce protection when my foot pushes up against the fabric. But I'll see if it poses a major problem. As far as first impressions go, I'm vibing ;)
