Mudee L

I’ve replaced my non barefoot leather and gortex walking boots with these Freets. They’re extremely comfortable and worked really well on a reasonably long walk (8 mile walk).

I started wearing barefoot shoes December 2024 so I’ve fully transitioned now and these were my final purchase to fully replace my old uncomfortable footwear with barefoot. Very happy with the ordering and the speed of dispatch and delivery.

I bought these because I have wide feet and needed a comfortable pair of walking shoes even wider than the Keens I'd been wearing for years. I expected the Mudees to be comfortable, but I didn't realize how much more I would like walking in shoes where I can actually feel the ground beneath my feet. I bought insoles to put inside them as I thought I'd want the extra thickness, but I don't use them. Also the both the soles and leather uppers are very supple. A revelation.

I really like these boots they are so comfy to wear all day

I bought a pair of the Mudee L boots in size 45 and 46. These would be my IDEAL boots if either size fit. I was crestfallen when the 45 was too short and the 46 was too large. I loved the comfort and look of the boot, the sizing just seemed off. I tried all configurations (original insole in/ out, 6mm Ortholite in) in attempts to make it work, but it sadly didn’t.

I forgot to add in my first review, that I only wear socks when I have to, that being -10c and below before I wear them, preferring wool insoles instead, except Spring, Autumn and Summer. So on the long hikes I have mentioned, I have never worn these boots with socks. My feet stayed an even temperature, no rubbing, no rush to get them off. The toe box has a lovely width too. I could even wear toe spacers with these when I wanted to. I don't need to wear socks with any of the Freet barefoot booties and shoes and now sandals I have. This in itself is an added bonus, because the freer my feet, the less covering, the better for me.
