First time wearing my Freet Chamois and they are already coming apart.

[dbarrett4053]

I ordered a pair of Freet Chamois and got them in the mail today. They look like really nice boots but I'm not sure on the durability now. The second time I laced them up the lace loop on the tongue came unstitched. Has any one else had any issues with these boots?

I don’t use those tongue loops and I cut off the heel loops in back because my pants just get caught on them. As already noted in another post that you might want to look at, I started getting sole separation at four months. I don’t know if I would count on them for multiple days in the backcountry. I’m just not ready to accept a product that can’t be counted on because they make my feet feel good and CS offers me a refund percentage when something fails.

Thread 'Freet Impala - Zero Drop Hunting Boot'

Feb 11, 2025

Picked up some Freet Impalas just recently in my quest for a zero-drop hunting boot. Haven't seen them mentioned here much so figured I'd share.

They're advertised as leather upper, grippy aggressive sole, waterproof and zero drop.

I haven't used them a whole lot but initial impressions and hikes have been great. Hit them with a coat of leather protectant for starters and am looking forward to training/hunting in them on the coming spring bear trip.

Just to compare, I've used vivo trackers and altra timp hiker gtx these past couple years. Both are great but I've had things I disliked...

Thanks for the response. I have some trackers on the way that should be here Tuesday. Hopefully they hold up better. Seems to be a common thing with sole separation on barefoot boots. I have a hunch it is the hippy-dippy, vegan, all natural, animal safe, eviromentally friendly glue they all use or something lol....some hunting company needs to come out with a legit boot that uses tough materials.
