Sizing Large (ii)

This shoe fits large: consider a smaller 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 large to size; if you sometimes have to go down a size, it is more likely that you may need to go down 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:

Great shoe, runs true to size

I recently discovered Freet and now own three pairs, these, Feldoms, and Richmonds. I also find these run true to size, even slightly shorter than the Richmonds and Feldoms but not narrower. Because of the sizing recommendations, I ordered 42s but had to send them back and get 43s like my others. I have about an index finger's width space in front of my big toe in all three, maybe slightly more in the Feldoms and Richmonds, and I am usually a 9.5-10 in most US brands. The toe boxes in all of these could actually be a tad more spacious for me, but they are comfortable for everyday wear and exercise.

I am very excited about these because they are very similar to my former all-time favorite shoe, the original Merrell Tough Glove. The construction and quality of the leather seems very good. Keep up the good work Freet.

runs true to size or slightly small

I'm confused about all of the reviews saying that this shoe runs big. I always wear a 40 or 41, depending on the brand and style, so I tried both. My toes were practically at the ends of the 40, and the 41 could possibly work though it was a little shorter than I prefer. I'm actually going to exchange them for a 42 (a size I've never worn in my life!) and see how those feel.

Other than the confusing sizing, they're quite comfortable and seem to be well made. The leather is soft straight out of the box, and I imagine it will only get more comfortable with time. Hoping the size up works out!

Fabulously comfortable! I normally buy 11 from Freet but took recommendation and downsized

Fabulously comfortable! I normally buy 11 from Freet but took recommendation and downsized..... I was concerned at first, but so far fit like gloves. When we get to very cold weather and need thick socks I may have to buy a pair in 11... but that just makes them last longer!

Great

Had them a few weeks now, great fit, comfortable and good grip. Good advice from freet regarding sizing too.
