I love the Keld 3

I love the Keld 3. It's a great design and colour, and very light and comfortable.

The Most Versatile Shoe

This is my second pair of Kelds. I have used them for work, walking, cycling. My original ones have been incredible and these are turning out to be even better. I like the new design with the laces up the middle, they seem to hold my foot better. I feel very connected with the ground. I love the new olive colour. They are so lightweight, makes it so easy to pack for travelling. The sizing seems to be smaller than my original ones, but still fits fine. I am a 5 and a half but have bought the size 5.

Most Comfortable Shoes

For minimal shoes with a wide toe box and zero heel lift, these are so comfortable! They are breathable too, since they're made with breathable fabric. I've bought three pairs so far for our family. I highly recommend these!!!

Excellent shoes

Exactly what i’ve been looking for: wide toe box, breathable, comfortable. No more sweaty feet! They’re much wider than Vivos and I will be switching to this brand.

Very comfortable!

The lightweight knit outer really makes it feel like I'm not wearing any shoes at all. This is my first pair of Freets after trying a number of other brands. My only complaint is that the bottom is extremely slick in wet weather. I would not wear these on drizzly days.

Keld 3

The shoes are very comfortable however the laces are about 20cm too long. I am tying them in double knots and still keep standing on the ends. Is it possible to get shorter laces?

Really Comfortable

These are a very comfortable fit, lightweight and flexible. There is a good amount of stretch to the material allowing for movement while still feeling secure on my feet. I have worn these a lot over the summer and they still look great.

Great pair of trainers

I have been searching for a pair of trainers to replace an old and too narrow pair of Vivobarefoot trail shoes which I wore to the gym, day to day but also for hikes. These are (almost) perfect.

Comfy fit for my narrow ankles but wide forefoot. Lovely colour which goes with everything. Fab when weight training in the gym. Just sooo flexible and comfy.

Three things which if addressed would make these perfect:
1. Slightly sweaty when worn without sock but not an issue with them even in really hot days

2. Laces are ridiculously long.

3. Would love a version which could be work on rainy days in the autumn and spring as fear will just end up with soggy feet/ get cold when weather is cooler.

Having said that, at the price point and with an offer on, very good value for money.

Shoe seemed great but had to return it because it was too small

Shoe seemed great but had to return it because it was too small, despite having ordered the same size that I'm wearing in Mudee L and Connect 4.

Size down!

Great shoes, by far the best value barefoot brand on the market. The Keld 3 are light and breathable yet sturdy enough for hiking.
IMPORTANT NOTE: these shoes fit very large, so pick a size down from your usual running shoes. I'm usually a size 11 on Altra, Saucony, Brooks etc, but I bought my Keld in a size 10.

No laces required

I am very pleased with the barefoot experience. Main problem is the laces. very long and don't see the point. I just slip them on without untying the laces.

So comfortable

Possibly the most comfortable shoe I've ever worn, and I could tell they would be before my foot was even fully in the shoe! Though you can feel the "tread blocks" underfoot, it isn't remotely an issue.

There ok
the laces are different lengths
i’ll most likely have to change the laces so they are the same length
if ai cut the too long lace it will loose the end peice

I am verypleased with my new shoes

I am verypleased with my new shoes . They are very comfortable and easy to put on and take off. I wear mine indoors and am considering buying a second pair to wear outdoors, on pavements. The only negatives are that they become very slippery on even slightly damp floors. And just a personal preference: I wish instead of laces, there were no-tie laces, which are easier to adjust.
The only downsides are that they are

Great walking shoes

I love these! Super comfortable for me, and they feel robust enough for long walks. I have medium wide feet and there's plenty of room. I have Freet walking boots that I wear with thick socks, and wanted to wear these with thinner toe socks, so I went down one size from the boots, which worked perfectly.

Best Shoe

Best shoe I've ever owned. Great trail running shoe (desert) even though it not labelled as such.
