On top of that, I noticed these have more internal padding around a few areas and the tongue on these is CRAZY large, as well as soft, making the experience even more pleasant. Not to a point where I should’ve gone up but for people who aren’t used to this extremely contained fit, they should definitely either go up half a size or try them on in a store if possible. These underwent some upper material and some slight fit changes, so the fit is even tighter than the first Zoom Freak. For those wanting more room inside the shoe, wide/regular footers will want to go up half a size.

So, I’d recommend going true to size for most foot shapes, if like a very snug, tight, and strongly contained fit. If these would’ve had some kind of a stiff synthetic leather upper, there’s no way I would’ve been able to pull off a true to size.

Granted, it sucked big time during that first week. It took 3-5 days for me to properly break in the first Freak and it was very similar to the Freak 2. But despite the shoe having a pretty narrow area for your foot to sit inside in the midfoot and forefoot areas, the shoe felt completely solid after I broke them in. COMFORT & FIT Pin image source: įrom the fit and overall comfort aspects, the Freak 2 was pretty much identical to the Freak 1 for me.
