Sizing Small (ii)

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.

The lengths shown are the Insole lengths (the actual shoe length will be 2 or 3 mm longer).

Sizing & Fitting Help

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:

Sturdy and waterproof but stiff

Pros: They feel very sturdy and stood up to a walk through puddles and in the rain without any wetness inside the shoe. Super wide and great shape without the taper that a lot of other brands have.
Cons: They feel quite stiff for now so I'm hoping they soften with wear. Because the gusseted tongue is quite thick, they are hard to lace up tight. It's also hard to get the laces around the hooks right at the ankle.
Size: they seem to run big.

Der beste Barfuss-Bergschuh den ich je hatte!

Das ist der beste Barfuss-Bergschuh den ich je hatte. Sehr angenehm zu tragen, leichter Einstieg und perfekter Gripp der Sohle. Nach vielen Misserfolgen bei anderen Herstellern hatte ich 2025 endlich den Impala gefunden. Nachdem dieser leider nicht mehrhergestellt wird, hab ich mir noch ein letzten Paar als Reserve gekauft. Das Nachfolgemodell Chamois hatte ich mir auch schon bestellt, dieser Schuh fällt allerdings zu schmal aus und ich habe diesen nicht behalten.

at last!

after decades of difficulty and pain due to very wide feet and high foot bulk, I have found walking boots that fit, are comfortable and give me confidence. I have just worn them all day, every day, for a week and at no point did I feel I might slip, or that my boots were too narrow.

Too small for me

They look like good boots, but they were too small for me and the next size up is no longer available. Nice wide toebox.
I am going to have to return them.

Quite Good

I live in the Pacific Northwest where it is basically impossible to avoid water. My leather Impala's have been impressive. About mile 4 of a hike that it rained the entire time with unavoidable puddles, I was able to feel a little dampness inside the shoe. Additionally, they take a couple days to dry when they are fully wet. I will be looking into some weather proofing products. I like the lugs and do feel stable when hiking so far, no intense grades yet. I do love the toe box and the feel of the shoe. Haven't had any trouble with the tongue being too stiff but I sure it will get even better with time. Only reason it's not a 5/5 is that they are mostly mostly waterproof instead of fully waterproof.
