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).

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.

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.

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:

Answer

Perfect fit

Perfect fit. True to size. So comfortable. I love the colour too.

Good and comfortable shoes overall

Good and comfortable shoes overall. Upper is less sturdy than some others but generally good

Like slippers, only better

I’ve been wearing zero drops for a few years now and have a few pairs of Vivo barefoot and a pair of Freet Flex 2 (daily use for last 1.5 years)
For the past 3 months I’ve been looking for replacements. I’ve tried multiple styles of xero, Altra and Vivo shoes, even the same style but upgraded versions and they’ve all had issues. Some have been tight across the top of the metatarsal area, others too tight across the arch of the foot. I’ve even had a pair where the little toes were trying to burst out the fabric and escape the confines of the shoes.
So, I’ve come back to Freet and decided on the Tanga 3. I’ve even dropped down half size for a better fit. They’re one of the most comfortable shoes I’ve worn in a long time. I’m only replacing the Flex 2s as I had originally bought my usual size but after a year and a half I’ve realised I had a bit more spare room in them than I needed.
I love the stack height as they provide my feet with a little more cushioning as I’m on a concrete floor all day but still enough ground feel.

Finally found really comfortable

Finally found really comfortable shoes!

Tanga 3 - living up to expectation

Very pleased with my Tanga 3s which I am trying as an alternative to Vivobarefoot. Comfortable fit (same size as Vivos) and can see why many reviewers are wearing these day in and day out. Excellent tracked and speedy delivery.
