Freet - OrthoLite 6mm Insole

Freet shoes are designed to allow your feet to move naturally.  All their shoes have a wide toebox to allow toes to move and spread naturally, no heel (zero drop) and a fully flexible outsole.  More information can be found https://freetbarefoot.com/barefoot-shoes/

Freet currently have 3 outsoles:

GripPlus – suitable for trail use. This compound and grip layout gives superb traction for the trail. Available on some 5in1 and all 4+1 styles.

MultiGrip – proven grip & durability for road, pavement and gym use. Also effective on better quality, less steep trail.

EasyGrip – excellent connectivity. Suitable for smoother surfaces outside and indoors including travel and everyday.

Please note that all Freet shoes fit slightly differently – please scroll down to the sizing and fitting information on each individual product page to see the specific information for each shoe. 

Fit is a matter of personal preference – some people like their shoes snug while others prefer a more relaxed fit.  When you receive your shoes spend some time, wearing them indoors to get used to them and decide whether they are right for you.  Be aware that if you are used to more ‘conventional’ shoes, you might initially feel that the shoes feel a bit unstructured.  This will soon wear off and your feet will appreciate their new found freedom to spread and move naturally.  Another point to remember is that the flexibility of the outsole means that the shoes move with your feet which means you can wear them looser without causing blisters. 

Because Freet shoes have a wide toebox to allow toes to move and spread naturally, no heel (zero drop) and a fully flexible outsole, you may need to take things steady to adapt from your previous more ‘traditional’ shoes. This might take a few days or a few months to transition.

If Freet shoes are dirty on the outside, you can wipe them with a damp cloth.

If you wish to wash out the inside, use lukewarm water with a mild detergent.  Pour a little water into the shoes and using your finger, gently rub around to remove any dirt.  Rinse with clean lukewarm water, empty out and dry away from direct heat.  You could put some newspaper inside the shoes to speed up drying time.

Gentle, water based, products, such as those made by Nikwax are recommended for conditioning and waterproofing. See each product page for specific information for that particular style of shoe.
