FREET BAREFOOT

THE MANUFACTURER’S BUSINESS ETHICS

We hate waste and the unnecessary use of our shared resources. We design and develop everything in the UK and work very closely with our Chinese manufacturing partners. Our supply chain is short, but we are always working to improve it. We have long-term relationships with smaller family-run factories, where we can discuss and agree on what is acceptable in terms of quality, cost and working conditions. We pay a little more, but we try to make sure that everyone involved gets a little more than average when it comes to pay and conditions (e.g. time off). We do not want to work in an environment where it is all about profit.

Our shoes are vegan. No part of them contains material of animal origin, including the glue.

REASONS TO WEAR FREET BAREFOOT SHOES

• Experience walking as if barefoot for stronger, healthier feet
• Ideal for fitness, running, trips into nature, travelling and everyday activities
• The minimalist design of both toe shoes and regular shoes lets the foot move naturally for greater comfort all day long.
• Toe shoes let the big toe move even more independently of the other toes, just as nature intended.
• Even more than classic Freet shoes, toe shoes support agility, stability, performance and comfort, and promote natural movement overall.
• They are quick and easy to slip on and off.
• You can wear them without socks if you like. And not just for our toe shoes, we make toe socks from bamboo fibre.
• High-performance materials – breathable, stretchy fabrics and a cushioning layer in the insole.
• Lightweight, durable and extremely hard-wearing soles with excellent grip.
• Minimal weight – from 320 g per pair in size 42.

TRANSITIONING TO A DIFFERENT WAY OF MOVING IN BAREFOOT SHOES

Many people need time to get used to the new barefoot way of moving. That is why our insoles have a layer that provides extra cushioning on impact and supports weaker arches and the heel area. This makes it easier to adapt to a barefoot walking style and minimises the risk of injury. The key is to make the transition gradually, perhaps on softer surfaces. Let your feet get used to this natural movement.

FREET TECHNOLOGIES

ANATOMICAL SHAPE

The shape of Freet shoes follows the natural shape of the feet. Toes have plenty of room to spread out and bend naturally.

PROPRIOCEPTION (BODY AWARENESS)

Although Freet shoes protect the foot, the Freet Sensor Outsole brings the feet to life, letting them pick up as much feedback from the ground as possible and respond to changes in surface by changing their gait.

FLEXIBLE UPPER

The soft, flexible upper has been designed so that the shoes adapt to the feet as much as possible. This relaxes and activates all the muscles, ligaments, tendons and bones.
