Our notes
The Freedom Trainer is built around one idea: let the foot move. It's an ergonomic, lightweight trainer for cross-training, workout classes, road running and everyday wear — the kind of shoe you forget you're wearing.
The upper is cut from a single piece of recycled mesh knit (100% recycled polyester), so there are no seams to rub and nothing holding the foot back, while the open mesh keeps air moving through to keep you cool almost like being barefoot. Underneath, the ERGO-flex™ outsole is built to move with your foot rather than against it: a flexpoint sits right at the ball of the foot so the shoe bends where you bend, a high-traction tread grips, and a patented Support System adds cushioning where you need it. Inside, a removable contoured sports insole shapes to the foot for support underfoot, and the direct-injected sole is moulded straight onto the upper in one sealed, hard-wearing piece that stays put through heavy use.
They come in an all-black that works well beyond the gym and a clean all-white that goes with anything. Wear them with shorts and a tee for training, then straight into the rest of the day — cuffed joggers and an oversized hoodie, tapered sweats and a crewneck, or shorts and an overshirt when it's warm. The all-white is the easy one with everyday clothes too: jeans or chinos and a tee, cargos and a cap, or shorts on a summer day when you want comfort without thinking about it. It's the trainer for the days that move from a workout to everything after it.
- Upper
- Cut from a single piece of recycled mesh knit (100% recycled polyester), so there are no seams to rub and nothing to hold your foot back. Soft, breathable and light, moving with the foot as you walk.
- Lining
- Breathable sports mesh lining in 100% polyester – an open mesh that keeps air moving to help feet stay cool and fresh
- Insole
- Removable contoured PU sports insole – shaped to follow your foot for cushioned, supportive comfort
- Outsole
- An ERGO-flex™ outsole built to move with your foot rather than against it. A flexpoint is positioned right under the ball of the foot, so the sole bends where your foot naturally bends and flows with each step instead of fighting it. A high-traction tread underneath gives grip, and the patented Support System adds cushioning and support through the whole sole.
- Laces
- 100% polyester
- Shank
- No shank – the cushioned midsole provides the structure and support, keeping the shoe light and flexible the way a trainer should be
- Hardware
- Metal eyelets and lace tips — both 100% zamak (a durable zinc alloy)
- Construction
- Direct-injected sole – moulded and bonded directly to the upper for a strong, fully sealed, hard-wearing construction
- Water Resistance
- Minimal — the mesh upper prioritises breathability over water resistance. It won't keep water out, so it's best in dry weather.
- Width
- D width fitting – a slightly wider fit with more volume than standard

- Order your usual size. Half size? Wider width fittings size up, narrower width fittings size down.

These shoes are comfortable; they fit very well; and most importantly, it's nice to know that there's a shoe store that makes shoes without animal products.
Got constant blisters with it. I tried and tried but it's still scraping the skin of my Achilles heel even with thick socks. They look nice but in my case they can't be used.

Fallen etwas kleiner aus
Just received. They seem comfortable enough but will not be able to tell for sure before buying new laces. They were passed through the shoes in a weird way and when I took them out the plastic end of one broke, making it impossible to put them back.
I have a lot of pairs from Will's and it's the first time I am disappointed with one. I'll still keep them as I can still use them but I hope it was an exception regarding quality.
After the blisters and breaking them in, I thought they would be okay, but the material is too rough to the point where it consistently scrapes off the skin of my Achilles heel (even while wearing socks). And it's not a size issue, for they fit absolutely fine - the back simply digs into the heel and the material scrapes.
I really tried to make them work, as they look nice, but I will unfortunately have to sell them.
