Freet BOOTEE 2: Andrew Explains!

[@MichaelSheaAudio]

Hi, how well do these boots grip smooth surfaces, like store/ restaurant floors? Being in food delivery, you never know where you're going to end up, so a waterproof boot for rainy days is ideal. The boots that I currently have slip and slide on smooth wet floors, so I'm looking for a potential replacement that I can run around town in safely. Would these be a good option?

As there is a good rubber coverage on the Bootee 2 outsole (lots of smaller lugs), our use and customer feedback is that this outsole does have reasonable grip on smoother urban surfaces. Hope that helps!

Looking to use these for a law enforcement. Are they breable enough for 80 degree weather or will they be way too hot with the lining. I know you can not make claims about how long the sole will last in an urban environment but i hope that the lugs wouldnt wear down in less than 500 miles.

They are breathable but will be warmer than an unlined boot, especially in 80 degree weather.

The problem I have is, you made your newer models narrower. My midfoot is nearly as wide as my fore foot. Tried some of your newer shoes and my midfoot just spills over a lot more, which is a shame as I had to look elsewhere

Thanks for your comment. We promise to look at how we can continue to accommodate the ‘instep-squarer’ shaped foot! Just to confirm the forefoot widths of all new styles is the same as older styles. There were some inaccuracies on older styles Sizing Guides (eg Mudee), but the actual forefoot widths are all similar. The insoles are very similar widths, older and new styles. The middle (instep) of the new styles is a little more contoured to allow the average foot to fit better here (less baggy). Also the heel shape is a better, slightly more snug fit (less baggy). On new waterproof styles we use a much improved full bootee waterproof lining which may make the initial feel of the style a little more snug when trying on. Hope that helps & sorry to hear you weren't completely satisfied

@@FreetBarefoot when will you start making models with a wider mid foot? In the comment I mentioned the mid foot. Not everyone has a narrow midfoot. I had some of your older shoes in the past which were much wider. I tried your newer range and none fit.
