Freet York

Nice casual shoe. Great for the office or hanging out with good friends on the weekends. Love the room in the toe box. Also love Freet footwear in general as they fit my higher volume feet quite well and are very comfortable. These are my fourth pair of Freet shoes.

Narrower than other shoes from Freet

First of I love the first two pairs I got from Freet. First time in my life I found the shoes that does not squeeze my feet. I have very wide feet. For some reason York is little bit less roomier than my other pairs. That resulted putting pressure on my left small toe. Shoes stretched little bit so it doesn’t hurt as much as before but not as comfortable as the other pairs. So if you have vey wide feet like me maybe these are not for you. Other than that I think York is great shoes.

Excellent shoes

From the outer sole that has a lot of grip to the softness of the leather, these shoes are really good and well made.

Going to need some break in time

This is a great show for a casual office environment. However, the leather is a bit stiff out of the box and both my heels were rubbed raw within the first 20 steps. I plan to try to soften it up and with time I’m sure it will be a comfortable shoe.

Look nice but size was too short

Though they look nice I had to return them as they were shorter than other Freet products in the same size.

Not working out

I love these shoes except the foot volume is too deep making the shoes pucker when I tie them. I need to return these shoes unfortunately.

Walk free

When you forget youve got shoes on because they are so comfy thats the ones to choose. And thats why I chose Freet. Got a pair on right now just checked yes they are on.

Great everyday shoes

I wear these for work. They took a while to get used to as I also wear Esk shoes that feel even comfier and seem to have an even better fit, but I needed a smart shoe for work. They are very comfy - feel like wearing slippers (in a good way). I actually treated and now polish them (not sure if supposed to but they look very smart. Would recommend but next time will get the newer version. Grip ok for street and office.

York was small

My York shoes arrived. They are running smaller than shoes I wear that are the same EU size. This surprised me as the size advice said most people could go down a size. It's the width that is the problem. I'll be returning them, and unfortunately the larger sizes are sold out.

First Freet experience, great shoe!

I recently purchased my first pair of Freet shoes. (Not new to barefoot shoes, but new to Freet). I needed a smarter pair than I own for a conference I will be attending and was excited when I noticed the York in your Offers section. I went down a size as recommended. I really love the look and feel, the supple soft and flexible leather, the wide toe box, the grippy sole. I like to take the insole out to maximize ground feel. I did notice some persistent rubbing on my achilles by the top portion of the rear upper after my first long walk in them, but after wetting them and treating them with Nikwax (as recommended by care instructions in the packaging) that issue resolved. The York is a well made shoe and I will definitely peruse the Freet website when I'm in need of a new pair of shoes in the future.

I have found the York shoes so comfortable to walk in.

I have wide feet and a high arch, plus small toes so my feet are wide yet compact. I have found the York shoes so comfortable to walk in. I love the feeling of spreading my toes and feeling the ground beneath me! I take a 38 and occasionally a 39 in normal shoes but tried a 40 in Freet size. I found that this was fine for size, especially in the width. The only thing I'd like to change is that the leather around the back of the shoe feels rougher on my skin than I expected. I found the York a nice looking shoe and I really like wearing them when I have to look smartish. I am so happy I have found a barefoot company that genuinely caters for wide feet like mine, as many barefoot companies actually don't. I came to barefoot shoes having developed a Morton's Neuroma and they are really helping keeping me mostly asymptomatic. Thank you Freet!

Thank you a million times for everything!

My new York shoes (replacement for Tangas) have just arrived! They are blissfully comfortable, and despite my problems with balance, I feel secure in them in a way I’ve never experienced before. I’m tremendously grateful to you for your advice; ordering one size larger than usual was the perfect decision - they’re quite roomy (oh, the joy of being able to spread your toes!) and will be fabulous both with bare feet and thick socks. Thank you a million times for everything!
