These are the perfect boot: casual, and versatile. I wore my last pair of Vivo Chelsea's everyday except for the couple summer months for nearly a decade; until the soles wore through! This pair is both more comfortable and more sturdily made and I hope to wear them for the next decade.
Great products, I have used the kit for ten days, I can feel and see the changes beginning.
Hi Thomas,
We’re thrilled to hear you’re already noticing and feeling changes after just ten days! It’s wonderful that the tools are supporting your foot health—thank you for sharing your experience!
These have been the most comfortable shoes that I have had for the office. I only wish I had found them sooner.
I recently attended a TFC Workshop in Paxton with Katie. I have had pain in the back of my knees for some time and was hoping they could give me strengthening exercises. The very next day I was able to stand without any pain. I immediately ordered the Foot Restoration Program and have been following it everyday since. After 10 days, I'm still out of pain. Kate was very informative and made the workshop fun. Thank you, TFC. and Thank you Katie.
Hey there,
We’re so glad to hear that Katie’s workshop was both fun and impactful for you, and even more amazing that you’re already experiencing relief! It’s wonderful that the Foot Restoration Program is helping you keep that momentum going. Thank you for sharing your experience—we’ll be sure to pass your kind words along to Katie!
I have numerous issues with my feet and ankles (bunion, hammertoe, limited mobility from multiple ankle sprains, etc). I became aware of Foot Collective last year when my PT used the Solemate. It was fun and I loved the idea so I got one but eventually stopped using it. When I started having more pain this year, I picked it up again but didn't really know what to do. Then, I found this workshop! It was great to learn some of the WHY behind letting your toes splay and the importance of walking barefoot (even for a short time). Since the workshop, I've been doing a little bit every day and my feet already feel a lot better. I look forward to slowly swapping out my shoes and trying to do more. Definitely worth while!
Hi Stephanie,
We’re so glad the workshop gave you that extra nudge and helped connect the “why” behind the practices. It’s inspiring to hear how you’re already noticing positive changes by doing a little each day. Thank you for sharing your journey—we’re excited to see how things continue to improve as you build on this foundation!
Really pleased overall with the solemate and supporting training. Only drawback is that it seems using it on carpeted surfaces is already causing some damage to the edges of the cork and the sheer volume of content of training videos is a bit fiddly to navigate. But overall highly recommended and am noting improvements in my feet after a couple of weeks.
Hey there,
We’re so glad to hear you’re already noticing improvements in your feet—that’s fantastic! Thanks also for sharing your feedback about the cork and navigating the content. We’re always looking for ways to make the experience smoother, and your input is super valuable. Keep up the great work with your SoleMate, and we’re excited to see how your progress continues!
I appreciate the products and accompanying videos. I’m an avid walker and love being out hiking somewhere. I started having foot issues and didn’t find answers through traditional means so had to find my own way. I’ve only been using it for a week or so but definitely have noticed an improvement in that short period of time.
Hi Sheila,
It’s fantastic to hear you’re already noticing improvements after just a short time of using the tools! We love that they’re helping you stay active with your walking and hiking. Thank you for sharing your experience and for being part of the journey with us!
I get so many compliments on these shoes, I love how they look. The best part about these mary janes is how well constructed they are. They feel like they’ll last a really long time!
I’ve done a couple hikes with the shoe now and I’m really impressed. The sole so far has had a good grip and I really appreciate how secure I feel in these laces with lower volume feet.
Have started using tools and watching your YouTube videos which are great so hoping I am now on the right path to resolving plantar fasciitis.
Hi Susan,
We’re so glad to hear you’re using the tools alongside the YouTube videos and finding them helpful. It’s wonderful that you feel on the right path toward resolving your plantar fasciitis—thank you!
New to training this way but loving the online training guides and the Solemate feels well made.
Hi Katie,
We’re so glad to hear that you’re enjoying the online training guides and finding the SoleMate well made. It’s wonderful that your experience is off to a positive start—thank you for sharing! 😊

Hi Judith,
Thanks so much for the 5-star review! We’re thrilled to hear you’re enjoying them and that they’re helping on your foot health journey.
Great in the city and on opening day of upland bird season. Fits half size larger than usual size 12M ->12.5M in Lems for me. Has less ground feel compared to vivobarefoot but that is welcome on hard asphalt. Bit warm if worn sock-less in summer, cooler with thing wool or cotton hiking socks. Very comfy barefoot on chilly morning dog walks (6c). Waterproofing is solid, full submersion in a brook and mud, cleans up real nice with homemade boot oil/wax (beeswax/paraffin) I use on lots of other gear.
Prompt service from Solefreedom ! Shoes are comfortable and with a nice look ! My daughter was happy when she tried them !
I recommended your store to our school from barefoot shoes !
I do not know how a company makes a shoe feel so good. But they do.
Thank you for creating this amazing piece of kit and for all the videos. I’m suffering with Morton’s Neuroma in both feet. I had been feeling so hopeless but after using the sole mate I am already feeling that it’s helping. It’s enabled me to take back control and be on the path to self healing. Can’t thank you enough!
Hi Bec,
We’re so glad to hear that SoleMate is helping you feel more in control and supporting your journey with Morton’s Neuroma. It’s wonderful that you’re already noticing positive changes—thank you for sharing your experience! 😊
The quality of the kit is amazing. Far surpasses what I expected. These are serious people with integrity.
Hi Linda,
We really appreciate your kind words! It’s wonderful to hear the quality exceeded your expectations and that our commitment shines through. Thank you
