Talus 3

The stack height delivers exactly the ground feel I was looking for. Unfortunately, the shoe’s shape holds it back from being a true barefoot option. The big-toe section of the toe box noticeably tapers inward, which restricts natural toe splay—even though my feet aren’t particularly wide.
When walking, your big toe should be able to spread outward for balance and stability, but this shoe doesn’t allow enough room for that. Going up a size doesn’t solve the issue either. This restriction also affects proper arch activation, which is a key part of barefoot-style movement.
Overall, while the ground feel is excellent, the lack of a truly foot-shaped design defeats much of the purpose of a barefoot shoe.

I’m a 10.5 shoe size. Ordered size 11 and they were huge. Paid postage to return shoe and get size 10. Still are so large and loose that my feet will twist out of them if I move the wrong way. Didn’t want to pay postage to return them again so I’m dealing with it.

Depending on the Freet shoe, I am EU43 or EU44. I have medium to high volume, and these fit without being tight. The Talus 3 in EU43 Fits well, slightly "roomy" - not quite too large, but fits sligthly loose, specially around the ankle while the length is spot on (EU42 would have been too short, and EU44 too long).

Here is a link to my review on reddit on this and other Freet models:

These are great because they are so barefoot.

I was interested to see what Talus 4 would be like but was disappointed. The reason: aesthetics are SO important and Talus 3 avoided the wide "clown" look much more successfully. I also wouldn't be in favour of the increase in stack height from 3 to 4mm (I don't use insoles).

So bummed that they don’t make them anymore. :(

Fine for house and garden. Bit loose fit for longer walks.

Perfect

I use as indoor shoes and they are light, giving the feel as you are not wearing shoes at all.

These are among the most Barefoot shoes I've ever had. They are wide, foot-shaped and very comfortable.

Perfect to high arch. Lightweight, really cool for summer.

Incredibly comfortable for all-day wear. Also very durable.

nice shoes

i like how light the shoe is and compared to my other barefoot pair of slip-ons, they are wider and fit my fit perfect so far. very happy with them.

I bought these shoes over 1 year ago and have been enjoying them during the colder months of the year. They are a perfect house shoe for when it is too cold to go barefoot and they are also perfect for travel because they are easy to pack.

The bad news for Freet, and good news for everybody else is that the shoes are holding up very well and I will not need to buy a replacement for years to come. I am especially happy with the insole; it is a great layer and is holding up.

As a note about sizing, the size is perfect when specified with the EU sizing. I think that the US site mixes up US and UK sizing data, so just go with the EU sizing number.

Flat, roomy, comfortable with or without socks.
We're well into autumn now and I'm still wearing my Talus with insoles and woolly socks.
I'd love a winter version of these for when the weather gets colder.

the shoes are great quality and are comfortable. But they do run big. I am a size 11 normally and probably could have gotten away with a 10 or 10.5

Shoes feel great, comfortable, and low to the ground. Unfortunately the stitches of my left shoe started to break. Seems like the more I use them the more they break. Purchased them about two months ago.

The product info is different from the video.

This is a nice shoe but it runs quite big. I ordered a size 37 but it was at least one size bigger than my other two size 37 shoes - Flex and Pace.

Unless it's really wet I live in these when I have to wear shoes and for all occasions! Never mind that I'm in my 70s and people think I'm wearing my socks! I can't remember how many pairs I have had but my second best are now being relegated to 3rd best and as I got a size too small for some reason, my best pair are now going to be my second best pair and I'm getting some New Ones!

Perfect shoes for indoor use

I've been thinking about getting some barefoot house shoes/slippers for awhile as my feet get cold. When these were on offer I thought I'd try them out. They do look like old school plimsoles but they are so comfy I don't care what they look like. Grippy soles are good for our wooden stairs so no slip. Would definitely recommend them. I took a size down from the Muddee but a larger size than most other barefoot shoes.

I bought these as my indoor Freets. I am normally a 46 but after reading the description, I went with the 47, they work fine as slippers but have a lot of room in the toe, even for BFS.
Best slippers, I have ever had,

Talus 3 are my favourite footwear. Lightweight, non-slip and versatile. I have a pair for inside the house, another pair for when I go to the gym and yet another for dry weather walking. The fit is a perfect 61/2 and the wide toe box ensures plenty of room to avoid cramped toes and associated problems. The elastic inserts at the front keep the talus firmly in place without undue pressure. They are easy to put on and take off.

I have lived in Talus 3s for the past several years and am on my fifth pair. For me they are hiking shoes, dress shoes, work shoes, around-the-house shoes — I wear them for everything. They are very minimal but have enough of a pad in the insole that I can wear them for a long walk on pavement. I consider them an important part of my foot health, and so my overall health, and I love the way they look too!

Excellent for the summer months. A range of colours would be great

I like the bottoms and sizing was okay... The upper isn't great for high volume feet and the shoes don't work well in the gym or on trails. Basically your foot can completely slide out of them and there is no way to ahere it tighter to your ankle

These are very comfortable! Thank you!

Got these to use as slippers as my feet get really cold in the kitchen in winter and the slippers I had just don't have a big enough toe box. Despite the thin soles they are really making a difference. Generally a 41 in Freet but as out of stock, got a 42. Definitely too big for shoes but ok for slippers, especially with socks. Different colours would be nice!

I suspect I'm not alone in using the Talus as a house shoe or slipper. It is incredibly minimalist and I'm not brave enough to tackle the great outdoors without just a tad more protection, but as an indoors shoe it is unbeatable. While it resembles a thin gym slipper, it has something which none of those have: a genuinely wide toe box. So, while the Talus is a tad expensive as a house slipper, there's simply nothing else out there that doesn't compromise barefoot biodynamics or is simply insufficiently wide. It is not that durable, hence the 4 stars, but with care I can get a year or two out of a couple of pairs when alternating between them. Have bought five pairs to date... and will doubtless buy again
