Tanga 2

Great shoes

This my 4th pair of Freet brand shoes. I love the fit and how comfortable these shoes are. Only thing I wish is if they come with normal laces as an option that will make them perfect. Very happy with my purchase.

Nearly Slip-on Shoes

I purchased these shoes because I needed a darker pair of shoes. I love my white shoes (Vibe 2), but I seem to have trouble keeping the tops of my feet from getting under dirty surfaces.... So, I ordered the Tanga 2. They are just as great as the Vibe 2 with respect to providing ample space for my toes to spread and for walking comfort. I have put about 40 miles on these shoes in the past 2 weeks. Another great feature about these shoes is the no-tie laces, which makes them nearly slip-on. Also, Freet Barefoot sent me an extra set of laces with needed hardware. These will be great if I somehow damage the laces that came with the shoes. Regarding sizing, I ordered the 42. While I could fit into the 41, I wanted about a thumb's width of extra space from the end of my toes to the end of the shoes. I love Freet shoes/boots and have a variety of styles for different purposes. I highly recommend them for folks who want a minimalist shoe.

Not a fan of the new outsole

I bought this one for running since it is sold as Freet's most minimal shoe. I am not a huge fan of the new outsole. Fists, I don’t like the hardness of the sole in the front ans in the back. It is less flexible than the original outsole (I did not tried the first version, but I know the outsole looks the same as the Flex which I love). Secondly the mid foot is not comfortable because the outsole goes up right on a spot (especially on the outside for me). Also, I find the shoe difficult to adjust. I swap the quick laces by other laces I had which helped a bit. But it’s still not secure around the ankle, even if I went with my usual size. This is something recurrent with Freet. That said, the toe box is always fantastic with Freet. Maybe I would have preferred the first version.
