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.

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:

Great fit, so good that I ordered a second pair

I was looking for a pair of 'everyday' barefoot shoes for wearing around the house, dog walking and general day to day wear. Came across Freet through searching on Copilot and investigated. The Swale is a discontinued line but exactly what I wanted and so priced at a discount (£45, a bargain). The sizing advice (get one size smaller) was perfect. My experience is that it fits like a second sock, has a half boot, great wide toe box (so proper barefootand exactly what I was looking for), thin sole so you feel the ground but also ridged for grip. And great environmental credentials made out of recycled bottles. As you can tell, I'm very pleased with this. So pleased that I ordered a second pair!

Summer Hiking

I bought the Swale fo summer hiking and so far they've not disappointed. The soles are thin enough to feel the ground you are walking on yet sturdy and grippy enough to not let you down even on slippery trails. Excellent ventilation and fast drying in wet conditions.

Toller Schuh für warmes und trockenes Wetter

Toller Schuh, leicht, flexibel, dennoch genügend Grip. Für warme Temperaturen und trockenes Wetter. Der Schuh fällt groß aus, daher locker eine Nummer kleiner bestellen. Würde den Schuh jederzeit wieder kaufen.

These are really comfortable but really big! I have the Kidepo shoes in a 43 and these are the same length, but as they are not padded inside they feel bigger. Luckily I do have wide feet and a high arch, so with an orthotic insole and bootie style, they are fine. If there had been a 40 available, I would have chosen those.

Best ever shoes

Best ever shoes : light, strong and great design. I thank the previous users who advised ordering a size down; they're absolutely right. My shoe size is 42, and I bought a 41, and it fits perfectly.
