WHITIN Men's Wide Toe Box Barefoot & Minimalist Shoe | Zero Drop Sole

Its been about 2 years with working out with them 3 days of the week 90% of the years being used.i run with them 2 days of those 3 and so far they are really good for the price. i decided to share my review with pics. i would say its a best investment than those others that go for 3X the price..Mind you, i only run about 1 mile with them, at a forward and backwards motions (Kneesovertoes)i weigh about 125lbs at 5'6'' height.

Love these shoes. On my third pair. Great style and comfort.

Loved my first pair, but the second pair (same size/style) has a lot tighter ankle piece. Going to have to stretch them, or get in there with a stitch ripper or something. Can’t imagine trying to fit thick “dude” ankles in here, especially if you wear socks, but they were my favorite if I took out the foot pads, used spenco dance insoles, and no socks.

I didn't know about getting some barefoot shoes but after the wife kept talking about them I decided to try these. I've had gout issues and my feet can be sensitive at times but these shoes have enough comfort and look good. At first, I thought they were going to be too tight but after adjusting the laces a bit they are my new favorite shoes. The laces kind of get in the way but it's nothing to return them over. I am curious how they will be in the rain.

I originally bought these because they were cheap (on sale for just under thirty bucks), and I wanted some flat shoes for kettlebell workouts. I prefer to do kettlebells barefoot, but if I'm not at home, gyms frown on that sort of thing (for good reason).Sizing issues: I have extra wide feet (10.5 4E), and these and the Oraginers don't have wide width, so I ordered up (size 11). Turns out that both WHITIN and Oraginers sell them with US sizes, but then ship you EU sizes. WHITIN sent me size 44, and Oraginers sent me size 45. I'm actually a size 44 in European, so I had to return the Oraginers. Unfortunately I can't compare them.I bought these, the Oraginers, and classic Converse Chucks. The Chucks definitely have noticeably more padding, but are not really more comfortable. I've gone on hour-long walks on all pavement (roads & sidewalks) with both, and the WHITIN are actually more comfortable. Maybe because there's essentially zero padding so I can feel everything and subconsciously adjust better than with the padding.The laces are absolutely worthless. I just took them out. They stay on and don't move at all. They're super-easy to put on and take off. The Chucks lose a lot of points there.I ordered three more pairs while they were on sale, and although I have Brooks, New Balance, and Sketchers that I like a lot, I wear these more often.For what it's worth, I just walk and kettlebell -- I'm not a runner.

Good fit. But designed like water shoes and caused more slippage around the back of the heel then I liked. Pretty comfy otherwise. These lasted just a little more than 2 months and just under 200 miles, well below average longevity for me.

These are my first pair or barefoot, or minimalist shoes. I’ve always wanted a pair but didn’t like the price of something like vibram five fingers. I read the reviews of this product carefully along with the q&a section, and decided to try them out. I was slightly concerned going in. Some reviews said they run large, are hard on the feet at first, etc.I don’t know if it makes a difference, but I usually wear chucks or vans slip on shoes or any other flat type shoe, so keep that in mind. I put on the shoes and went for a quick stroll outside to see how they were. They fit perfectly (I ignored the warnings of them running large and got my usual size 12) and were surprisingly way more cushioned than I was expecting. I remembered they have removable insoles, took them out, and went for a walk.I went for a one or two mile walk, testing out every surface and texture. I walked on grass, tall grass, concrete, gravel, and dirt. I went out of my way to step on every rock and crack and uneven surface along my way, to test the shoe. It felt great! I’m not suggesting anyone go out of their way to step on rocks or other hazards more than you have to, but I will say that it felt safer and more comfortable to do in these shoes. It flexes enough to let your feet and toes grip and move and position in such a way that’s much more natural than a rigid flat sole.I’m instantly in love with these shoes, but to be fair, this is only my first day (and first walk) wearing them. For every three months these things survive for the first year of having them, I’ll update my review.* UPDATE (12/05/2021) *The day after I posted my initial review (in September) I tore my foot up pretty bad wearing these shoes and walking ten miles. It was my fault though; I shouldn’t have taken the insole out. I put the insole back in and this shoe has been the most comfortable shoe I’ve ever had. I was also happy to learn the laces were decorative and this shoe is a slip on. Excellent! It’s perfect for me…except for one thing.I mention in my original review that I read things carefully. Apparently not carefully enough as these are trail shoes and not made for city walking. Despite this, the shoes were working for everything perfectly. Then one day my foot started hurting like a pebble was in my shoe. I looked at the bottom of my shoe to discover it had a hole straight through it. RIP shoes…I’m not changing my five stars because it’s not their fault I got trail shoes for sidewalk use. Not only that, but the first two months I had them, I walked a minimum of ten miles a day. I even liked them so much that I’m going to get another pair from this same company (the right kind this time) to give them a fair chance. I highly recommend these shoes still.
