This shoe fits small: consider a larger size

The best guide for sizing your new Freet shoes is to start with your usual shoe size. Think about whether you always take this size or whether you sometimes need to go smaller or larger.

Customer feedback is that this style fits small to size; if you sometimes have to go up a size, it is more likely that you may need to go up a size with this style.

Our shoes are originally produced in EU sizes. All US sizes are the closest conversion so, if you know your EU size, you may want to consider using this.

Measuring Your Foot

Sometimes as a second check it is worth measuring your foot. Feet can be different sizes so its worth measuring both and taking the largest.

Standing next to a wall place a piece of paper against the wall. Place your foot on the paper with your heel just touching the wall.

Measuring Your Foot
  • The next stage is easier if you get someone else to help do it.
  • Take a pencil or pen and trace the outline of the foot on the paper.
  • Start at the heel.
  • Keep the pen at 90 degrees to the paper, so vertical, see diagram.
  • Don't draw under the foot.
Keep pencil verical
Taking a ruler measure the length of the outline in millimetres. This will be the exact size of the insole you will need. To ensure the fit is not tight add another 5.0 - 10.0 mm to the length. If you wear thick socks then add that thickness to the length.
Measuring your outline

If possible, please work from the EU sizes (the US and UK sizes are nearest conversions to these sizes so will not be as accurate). The lengths and widths are the dimensions of the insole in mm measured as per the picture below:

My current faves

Great winter boots. Warm and waterproof. Very comfy toebox.

My only downside is that the soles aren't grippy at all on wet pavements and tiled floors, which you have to be really careful about (eg. going from the trail to do a quick errand in town). Hence the 4 stars.

However having an outdoor job in the Derbyshire weather these are still my most used shoes at the moment and will probably remain that way until spring arrives again.

NB. I had to size up 2 sizes.

The high part at the front is very stiff. I haven't worn them yet apart to try them on so have no other comments yet

Great winter walking boot

I went up a size and got a perfect fit in this cosy, light weight boot. Great for long walks on muddy paths and through wet grass and so far they’ve kept my feet dry. These are now my favourite all weather footwear.
