I bought these shoes specifically for a Spartan Super Race and they performed without fail straight out of the box. They stayed on in the mud and water. Never slipped or lost traction do to the aggressive tread. No blisters or hot spots during the 6 miles. Love these shoes. Freet has done it again. I'll recommend these to anyone. Does Freet sponsor people. Where do I sign?

Love these shoes!
I’ve been wearing barefoot shoes for about 4 years now. I heard really good things about Freet’s and decided to give them a try and I’m so glad I did! I’ll definitely be ordering more in the future.

Fast delivery, wonderful products as usual. These will be my second and third pairs of Freets (only bc my first pair of Howgills were a little too large, but I kept them bc circumstances with a deadline and after a year of adoring them decided to finally get the proper size). I love this brand it checks all os my boxes and ever pair I've purchased has been comfy out the box. These shoes were comfortable out of the box - nicely snug where they need to be. I took my new Howgills out on a 10 mile walk and they did not disappoint. Can't wait to try the sandals and insoles when I go out on my annual Appalachian Trail birthday backpack next week. I'll likely keep the (old) oversized pair to wear with heavier socks in the winter (as I did this year).
