Things to know
For “low volume” feet, Freet shoes can be a bit bulky on top.
They are not the best shoe for snow as they are low and snow can get inside from the top very fast, although they have an amazing waterproofness.
These shoes are great for winter but if you will be walking or playing in deep snow, you will want to consider other options as these shoes are low and snow can get inside from the top.

What people are saying?
“I follow the recommandation and sized up from my conventionnal size (39, feet 24,4cm) and took 40. They are perfet, maybe a bit too long in summer with tiny socks, but for colder seasons with thick socks I have a good toes mobility, it’s perfect.
They are a little slippery on harder surface when it’s raining or with ice, but with the sole’s flexibility it’s easy to grip and have good ground feel.”
“I am usually a size 6 and chose to go one size up on these. They are OK with thick socks for walking but i think would be feel large if you prefer thinner socks so worth bearing in mind).”

Verdict
The Freet Mudee shoes are the best vegan, barefoot, waterproof, hiking boots. A difficult combination to find.
