Ordered a pair today. They look great, coming over from vivo, which I've been wearing for years.

How do you find them compared to vivo?

@@dap8362 loving them so far, I'm coming from a vivo boot so it's not a very fair comparison (boots are always going to be heavier and more sturdy) but in general fit and feel the freet are great. Too early to tell on wear but I've just spent a week pushing them up and down the cornish coast path with no issues. Also very quick drying. :)

@@andysands4695 thanks, do you think the knit upper is stiff enough for running, or will your foot slide around a bit too much, especially on descents if the ankle is sock like and doesn’t secure your foot/ ankle in ? Looking at these, feldom, or vivo primus trail. Thanks again, haven’t seen much feedback on these as they new so appreciate your help.

Great video. love the concept of this shoe. Two questions: Would the weave in this upper be susceptible to snags and tears on brambles whilst hiking? And also, is there a reason why the Swale has the stitched on upper and the Howgill doesn’t?

Thanks for this! 😃 1. Howgill upper very strong, tight weave which hasn’t had a problem in a year’s development and testing. 2. Howgill has membrane water resistance so cannot have a sidewall stitched outsole. Hope that helps!

If you guys had a sole that was more resistant to cement/concrete these would kill in the disc golf scene. We throw off of concrete pads but still need somewhat of a tread for outdoors. Usually most trail shoes treads are too spaced out and get worn down from the tee pads way too fast.

Thanks for this feedback! Our outsole HillGrip on Feldom and Howgill styles is quite a good balance between trail grip and durability. Hope that helps 😃

Hey the shoe looks like a great replacement for my Tangas which are getting really thin in the sole, how do you have a water repellent shoe in a summer release tho? Is it about as breathable as the Tanga or less due to the membrane?

We absolutely love Howgill! Howgill is very breathable but not quite as breathable as Tanga (as you say because of the membrane). Hope this helps!

The mid foot looks a lot narrower
@FreetBarefoot

The midfoot is a little more fitted than previous styles. The heel is also a little more fitted. The style is quite 'sock-like'. The shoe fits an 'average foot' really well, but is less forgiving for a very high volume oblong shaped foot. The forefoot width remains the same as always.

@@FreetBarefoot no good for me. I had previous models from you. But i can't fit your newer range. Vivo already have narrow shoes, why follow their trend, as the main issue was how narrow they were. Are you going to do wider variants for the group of customers??

We are looking to make a ‘classic’ version of our Mudee with a wider midfoot (middle of next year). Hope this helps.
