Cool shoes for work and whatever else

These shoes are dressy enough to wear to my workplace. Heel lockdown is great plenty of room in my midfoot and toebox while still being good fit.

They look a bit goofy looking down at them but they are fine at an angle which is how everyone is going to see them anyway. I got the Freet Danum first and these fit a little bit more snug with the same size (I wear US 10). Not as breathable as well but that's expected with a leather shoe. It's still way more breathable than thicker smooth leather though my feet were not super sweaty after a full work day.

I'm checking out other barefoot brands as well now but I know I'll keep coming back to Freet to check for new styles. Awesome shoe.

They are well made

They are well made, they keep my feel quite warm compared to my old barefoot shoes. In general the sizes are slight smaller than vivo's sizes. only 4 stars because of the laces hole though the tongue (as other have mentioned). I bees waxed and polished them, the leather ends up very dark brown (almost black). I'm happy with them I'd buy another pair (maybe one size up).

Best Freets yet

I have been wearing barefoot shoes for prob ten years now, and Freets since Connect 1. Have had Connect 1 & 2, Feldom, Chukka, Muddee, Zennor, Tundra, and now Richmond 2.

Had previously tried Richmond v1 and returned it, because the sizing was off for me. V2 fixes that. Also, they might be the most comfortable Freets since Connect v2. Plus, with a bit of Nikwax waterproofing wax, they darken up nicely, adopting a 'lived in' look.

Full marks. Can wear these anywhere. The only thing I'd say that could be improved is to offer a resole-ing service, because the upper will last a long, long time.
