Comfy but has loose stitching

Just received these and they’re incredibly comfortable. I tried on (and promptly returned) the Zennor 1 a couple of years ago, and these are a definite upgrade! Much wider, and the upper fabric is softer and more flexible. I usually wear a 40 or 41, and the 41 on these fit me better since they’re a little wider for my very wide feet, without being too long. But if your feet are narrow to moderately wide and you like a closer fitting shoe, going with your regular size might work.

My one complaint is that the stitching that holds the sole on is coming undone on the front. Given the location right at the end of the toes, I imagine it will not hold up if I stub my toe or scrape that part of the shoe on rocks. Hoping to exchange them for a pair without issues as they’re otherwise awesome.

Perfect (after a small modification)

The Zennor 2 is much improved over the originals (which I sent right back after trying them on last year). This version is lighter and more flexible and have become my go-to summer footwear chaice for walking and cycling. When it's a little cool out, I wear some low cut black socks and they look like regular shoes.

My husband and I each got a pair of Zennor 2 sandals for a trip to the Galapagos Islands and they were great for getting out of the inflatable boats into the water and then walking around the islands. However, as others mentioned, they were a bit slippery on smooth wet surfaces. I broke mine in for a week before the trip, initially getting a blister, but that was solved with a minor modification. Read on if you find the sandals a bit narrow or you stuggle with bunions.

The mesh part of the shoe has a bit of stretch, but the straps sewn onto the mesh to hold the laces do not stretch. Using a seam ripper, I unpicked the stitching along the sides of the strap where my bunion is (see dotted line in photo) leaving the strap attached only to the sole of the shoe. Then I put a square knot after the second set of lace loops from the top, leaving a lot of slack in the lacing over the toe area. Tightening up the shoes now only pulls the laces tight around the ankle opening, and leaves the toebox nice and roomy. Coincidentally, my husband has the same issue and we did the same modification on his sandal. Both of us are very satisfied.

Freet remains my favourite brand of barefoot shoes and I have 4 pair (so far!). The quality, value for money and durability is unmatched. I'm hoping to see these sandals in red next year!

Brilliant hiking sandals

Walked the Camino Portuguese with a friend, both of us with these sandals. 250km of super comfortable hiking and no blisters!
Highly recommended
However, I signed up but never received my 10% discount code. Here's hoping!

Well-designed and comfortable

So much better than the original Zennor, which I returned. These fit true to size (42). I forget I'm wearing them, they are so comfortable (I have a standing desk, so am on my feet for much of the day).

They come with a "ventilated" inner sole (see image - not mentioned in the description) that can swap in for the Flexile inner: a boon in the recent heat, when walking, they cool the soles of your feet - inspired!

They seem to be very well made.

Comfortable, cool and well made

Started wearing barefoot shoes last year and wanted to something that was comfortable and cool. The Zennor 2 are great, well made, my feet feel secure and I've already worn them loads. Similar look to my husbands Keen sandals but so light and comfortable. Will definitely be taking them away too

Easy to adjust for comfort

I have found these shoes comfortable from first wearing as they can be adjusted to accommodate my bunions. Highly recommended.

Lightweight

Lightweight, comfortable. Perfect camping shoe. Easy to get on and off and versatile for rivers, walks and daily activity. I have a wide midfoot and these fit brilliantly. No pinching 🙂 I'm hoping the Vibe 2 will feel the same.

Great apart from sizing issues

Freet products are great for my foot shape, and these are no exception but the sizing is crazy.
I sized up as my feet have spread but these are the same size as the original Zennor sandals.
Sizing issues are the only thing that let Freet products down.

Great for summer hiking

I bought them for alternative solution in summer hiking as my feet need to be cooled down when the body gets warmed up. I tested them immediately on harsh rocks in a mountain, on rocks, even slippery and they were great. I like getting the sensation of the surface I step on. Would prefer it a(multiple) striking colour(s) though.

Beautiful

Beautiful sandals, well-made. Size: My feet fit in 41 but it’s a tad wide. I can live with it by tightening the area near the forefoot and it walks fine. I’ve tested this on a few 2km walks on pavement: comfortable, ventilated and stable.

Stiff and rough and high at the back of the ankle.

I wanted to love these for summer walks and backpacking. They are true to size in length and the toe box is the perfect width for me. These shoes are actually better looking in person. Ideally ventilated shoes could be worn barefoot but the inside is so rough that’s not possible. Even with leukotape over my Achilles and quality socks these leave me with blisters. I’ve really tried to make them work and I’m disappointed.

Almost perfect cont.

I should add that I found the Zennor perfectly wide enough for my stumpy feet, and had no rubbing whatsoever, even after 6 days up-and-down hiking and no socks.

Almost perfect!

I've only given 5 stars as I found the sizing a bit tricky. I'm a fairly standard 5, but the Zennor 5 were too short. The 6 was plenty long enough, but I couldn't get a good fit around the ankle, so even when fastened tightly, my (female) foot was sliding forward and toes bumping the end of the shoe. The Zennor seems to be designed for a 'chunkier' man's ankle.
Having read a previous review where they put a reef knot in the middle of the laces (to allow the lacing to be pulled tightly around the upper part/ankle but left loose around the toes), I gave that a go, and the result was much better. Leaving the sole insert in also helps then fit a bit snugger. The shoes are still a bit loose around the front of the ankle, but I can now leave the back velcro fairly loose and cinch up the black laces tightly so prevent foot slide.

Apart from that, the Zennor is great - the usual lightweight, flexible materials, and the side vents cleverly don't go all the way down to the sole, so you don't get a lot of bits getting in. I love the khaki colour, and the styling is pretty cool too!

Given the potential toe-bumping problem, I was a bit nervous about trying them on a hilly walking tour, and thought I would wait before giving a review. I can happily report that - with careful tightening of the laces - they were excellently comfortable on my 6 days hiking in Exmoor, over various terrain including sharpish stony paths. The slight inconvenience of removing the very occasional bit of grass or pebble was far outweighed by having such lightweight footwear and nicely ventilated feet during the hot weather.

So my suggestions for improvement would be a women's version that is more suitable for a narrower ankle area, or somehow make the fit more adjustable. I reckon a bit of a 'front bumper' to protect the toe area would be a good addition too.

No rubbing and total comfort!

Wore these for the first time on something like an 8-mile walk in the heat of summer 2026. Very comfy, no achy feet and no bleeding stumps at the end of it - these shoes are the holy grail of summer walking shoes for me! I carry a "plaster library" with me everywhere I go and didn't need to use it at all - amazing.

Beware of sizing before purchasing, though, I am a size 5.5 and I had to return the size 6 and get a size 7.

Like Keen Newport sandals, only better. Quick drying with grippy soles and wide toe box, minus the 8mm toe drop, bulbous toe guard, and clunky feel. Lucky me, I found a minimalist hiking sandal.

I’ve lived in these since they were delivered, no complaints

I’ve been living in these since I bought them… I’m a long time barefoot shoe convert .. probably the last 7 or 8 years now, but these are my first from Freet and given the sleight of good weather lately these have been my daily wear since they arrived… no complaints, plenty of room, fit true to size good for walking the dog, driving or just chilling out round the house or wherever… definitely worth the money, highly recommended

Great shoes, very comfortable. When in between sizes 6 and 6.5 order both and check what fits you best. Following the suggestion (shoe inside must be longer by at least 5mm than your foot), I ordered a size 6.5, but it was unfortunately too big and caused discomfort (they rubbed around my heels and ankles) even after adjustments due to its large volume. While the size 6 was only 3mm longer, it fit much better.

Comfy and sturdy

Love these sandals. Just a heads up, the sizing seemed a little different from a previous pair of Freets: I had to send the first pair back and go up a size.
