Richmond

Very comfortable and well made. I've been wearing barefoot shoes exclusively for years, and Freet is one of my favourite brands.

Wunderbare Schuhe, nur barfuß ist besser. Tragekomfort und Aussehen top!

I love the look of the Richmond boot, they are urban chic. The materials all feel substantial without feeling stiff, really allowing your feet to move and flex with walking. The toe box is very roomy, and yet the boot feels firmly on my foot. The only change I would suggest is a tab in the back to assist with pulling them on

Best ever shoes

I really like the aesthetic. They are a great looking shoe. I have been using Xero for a while, but wanted something that looked like a more natural leather. I was a little surprised that they were more minimalist and actually took some conditioning to be able to wear long days. That’s not a complaint, just an observation and something someone should know. I do believe they were sized slightly under what I’m used to.

Cómodas, calentitas....la única pega es que me las compré u poco grandes (error mio) y no me acaban de ajustar bie al pie.

I have a pair of Freet sports shoes and can’t take them off- they are sooo comfy. I tried about 15 pairs of different barefoot shoes from different brand and the ones i chose were Freet Tanga. Heavenly!

I ordered Richmond online but when they arrived didn’t find them comfortable as my instep was rubbing uncomfortably on the shoe tongue. Returned them simply and got money back immediately. Will try another pair- my husband bought York and I love the feel!

First pair of Freet I have bought. I love the Richmond shoes! Instantly comfortable. Am confident they’ll be durable. Will most definitely be a repeat customer.

I've had a pair of Richmond for nearly 2 years and absolutely love them. They have the usual great Freet feel and comfort, and look smart enough for the office and general city living (from eating out to leisurely walks). They've withstood two years of sun, rain, mud and miles and miles of walking on pavements and forest paths, and still look nearly new! They get plenty of compliments, from within and outside the minimal shoes crowd. I've already bought a second pair even though the soles of my first one are still going strong. They're brilliant!

great comfortable leather shoe. Only slight niggle there's a nub at the back where all the stitching comes together which rubbed my heel. But a pre-emptive band aid on the heel sorted that and maybe it will soften with times. I can walk 20-30,000steps in them all day and my feet feel fine!

Good quality desert boot which helps my leaning forward balance issues with Parkinson's, which was my reason for going 'barefoot'. Please add tabs at the end of the tongue and back to help get them on.

Took me a few wears to love these. They are smart looking and comfortable.

A nicely designed good looking, durable, comfortable (for people used-to-barefoot) shoe. Very pleased with my Richmonds!

I wore out my first pair after many miles and a few years. The Richmond is the best combination of casual style, comfort and reasonable price I could find in barefoot shoes. My only quibble with Richmond is the extra long shoe laces...though I think that may be a plus for others. I have three other Freet models on the shoe rack - Tundra, Nimbus, and a now discontinued light hiker.

Delighted with my new boots!

I tried a the original Richmond but returned as the heel area was too loose for my (dainty woman's!) ankle. I'm always looking out for a nice-looking minimal shoe that I can wear with a frock, so thought i'd give the updated Richmond a whirl ... and I'm really glad I did!

The ankle is much better fitting, and feels as if its going to hold its shape with wear. I was slightly wary when I first tried them on as - unlike all my many other Freets - they felt a bit stiff. However, they softened up nicely after pottering about the house in them for a day. They fit true-to-size.

Apart for the usual Freet 'barefoot' credentials (zero toe-drop, room for toe spead, super-flexible) what I particularly like about Richmond is:
- simple, non-sporty design that looks good with a skirt too
- super quality, soft matt leather
- sewn-in tongue (no tongue slip!)
- unusual & absolutely gorgeous colour - mid brown almost veering to khaki-brown.

My only suggestion for an improvement would be a wee loop or tag at the heel to help with putting on.

Fancified with some light brown & black striped laces, my Richmonds are set to be the perfect footwear for the coming Spring.

This is a beautifully made shoe. Truly barefoot/minimalist sole that still has good grip and a gorgeous leather upper. Unfortunately I have low volume feet, so these are a little tricky for me. Also, listen to their sizing recommendations. Since the toe box is roomy, you don't need as much extra length as you may in conventional shoes.

So far I love the fit. nice wide toes box. you can even comfortably wear toe spreaders while wearing these shoes. very comfortable and I know the leather will be very nice after they break in.

I bought these for a friend and this is what he told me:

Comfy, light-weight and funky-looking. The material is impressively strong, yet supple. The tongue of one of the boots dug in to the top of my foot at first but softened after a couple of short walks. 4.5/5

Had these shoes about 2 weeks and i love them! Little stiff out of the box just like you would expect full grain leather to be but they broke in very quickly! Had a crease pushing on my big toe but about 4 hours into wearing them it softened right up! They are very comfortable and will get better with age im sure! When they arrived there was only one insole so i emailed the company and they sent me a new pair of insoles next day! Looking forward to seeing how long of a life span they have! Thanks Freet!!!

Pleased that I haven’t wasted my money!! I like the wide toe box, zero drop, getting used to thin soles. The looks need to be a bit more stylish and with Nikwax I’m pleased the leather has darkened for me. Will look into seeing what else Freet do.

Very comfortable and stylish. True to size. Perfect.

Scarpe eccellenti per tutte le stagioni: si possono indossare d'inverno con un calzino di lana e anche in piena estate senza calzini e togliendo la soletta.
Di notevole robustezza, dopo un anno che le porto quasi tutti i giorni sono pressoché intatte. Unico difetto: i lacci si rovinano prima delle scarpe ma non sono presenti nella confezione lacci di ricambio né è possibile ordinarli separatamente.

Jag har ägt tre par freet barefoot skor och är super nöjd med alla

These are OK, but the tongue is connected at the sides, so there is a fold of leather by the rows of lace holes. There are four of these folds and one of them, on my pair is a thicker, less supple, bit of leather. I tie that shoe looser so it doesn't get uncomfortable. Not a deal-breaker, but a bit low-rent ...

I’ve bought a few pairs of Freet shoes over the years and am always impressed with the quality, comfort and durability of the products. The only reason I haven’t bought more is that they last so long!!

These are my second pair of Freet boots. I also have the Impala boots, I was so impressed with the Impala, when I saw Richmond in the Black Friday sale I didn’t hesitate. These boots are so comfortable, they mold around your feet after a few days. Would not hesitate to recommend.

I bought these boots mainly to wear to work. They are smart enough for the office but I have also dressed them down and they look great. Very comfortable and my feet don’t feel restricted compared to traditional leather shoes. I normally wear size UK 8.5 but opted for an 8 in these as half sizes weren’t available and I thought 9 would be too big. There is just about enough room so my toes don’t hit the front. They don’t hold off rainwater for long before it starts to soak into the leather, but I think that’s normal for leather shoes. I’m sure treating with Nikwax or similar would improve the water resistance. Traction on wet pavements could be better but isn’t terrible. I think the laces are slightly too long and tend to flap about when I’m waking. The first pair I received had some unsightly black speckled marks on one of the boots. Freet promptly sorted out a replacement without question, which was good. The one thing that bothers me is that one of the boots quickly developed an annoying squeak every time my foot hits the ground. I believe it is coming from under the sole. I’m not sure how to go about remedying this or if it can even be fixed. A frustrating thing on an otherwise a decent pair of boots.

looking good

Excellent product, pleased with the purchase and service. The Richmond is an excellent fit and very comfortable to wear, why aren't all shoes like this.
Thanks again.

Feels true to size Extremely comfortable Will give it a stress test in Canadian winter in next few months
