WHITINMen's Barefoot Trail-Running Shoes | Wide Toe-Box | Zero-Drop Sole | Optimal Traction

These are my first pair of minimalist shoes and I am very pleased with them. I have narrow feet and normally wear sneakers in a size 9.5. I purchased these in 9.5 wide and they fit perfectly. The shoes hug my feet and are very light. Inside, they have a thin removable insole that helps when walking on hard surfaces. I be wearing them with the insole because it does not reduce their flexibility and I’m not quite ready to go with a fully minimal foot bed. The quality is really good. The shoes are light as a feather and as comfortable as a pair of slippers. They also look great with jeans or shorts. These are an excellent choice whether you are new to minimalist shoes or just want a pair that doesn’t cost a fortune.

The media could not be loaded. I just recieved the shoes so this isn't an endurance review. I feel the shoes very confortable, very good materials and flexibility. The width is just as good as they mention, and the grip is awesome. They're very light and the size chart is very accurate. I'm very happy with my purchase so far. Will upgrade if anything negative shows up

Several months ago I was prepared to write a great review for this shoe but the situation has evolved. I still like the shoe. I've worn one pair for three months and ordered a second pair. But there are issues, mostly with order/return processing. Orders BTW were "sold by Whitin" and "shipped from Amazon".Long story short: The first order took a very long time to arrive -- and then, weirdly, the record disappeared from my Amazon account. But I liked the shoes and ordered another pair, selecting a different color this time. After another long wait the shoes arrived but they were the wrong color. And even more disagreeably they were soiled and worn-looking; obviously a returned pair, floating loose in a cardboard box. I sent them back to exchange for right color... hoping, also, for an unused pair!Third time's a charm. After a fairly brief wait I received the correct color; clean, fresh, and packaged like new shoes.But by this time, after three months, a quality issue had developed with the first pair. The lace loop, the loop glued to the shoe's tongue, has become nearly detached on one shoe. It's a small problem, not worth returning for, and won't keep me from wearing the shoes -- but it's disappointing.Bottom line: As a fan of barefoot-style shoes, I like these. They are light and flexible with a minimal arch and a comfortable forefoot space. Soles seem to wear well and uppers seem fairly tough. One caution on sizing: The removable insole measures almost exactly what the chart says for that size -- but what the chart doesn't account for is that the shoe adds at least another .5cm of length beyond the insole. Don't order too large -- think moccasin. Soft shoes feel sloppy if too large. Lack of half-sizes could be a problem for some.

I really like these shoes. They’re well made, and very comfortable. There is plenty of room for my toes to splay out, although my feet are average width. Lots of ventilation, and lightweight. The sole is not super thin, but is very flexible and you can feel the ground pretty well. For me, it’s just the right amount of cushion.I wear a 10.5 in Nike and most other shoes, and a size 10.0/43 fits me perfectly.

I don't have any complaints. I bought these for a week long festival where I was walking a lot on gravel and dirt roads every day. They performed very well and still look almost like new. They have good support and traction. I can feel the terrain under my feet, which gives a natural walking experience. You do need to watch out for sharp stones, because you will feel them. But that's true of any barefoot shoes. It was really only an issue at night when I couldn't see well where I was stepping. I would definitely wear these hiking during the day again.

I just received these, so I will update when I have further experience with them. But like other Whitin shoes, these come with short laces, so I need to buy longer laces. I've had to do this with 2 pairs of Whitin recently, so be prepared to add the extra price $$ of new laces to your purchase. Is this the new style now, just enough lace length to struggle to get it tied?But I will say that they feel comfortable right out of the box.I'll update on durability later...

Wide toe box is much appreciated. At the end of the day my feet feel great, the shoes still look good and I'm a satisfied customer. The only gripe I have is that the shoelaces are too short, and I need to replace them.The lightweight shoes have soles that look like gum eraser. I live in the desert where the summer temps are very hot; typically, in the 100s. I'm wondering if the very warm streets and hot sidewalks will my shoe soles melt and get sticky? That will provide for great traction. Anyway, the price is terrific, and the value makes this a 5 star deal for me.

These shoes are very comfortable but they do need to get half sizes for people the are in between sizes

Me quedaron muy bien, si lo recomiendo

No había de mi talla así que compré una talla más grande. Tengo 4 meses con estos tennis.Me encantan, son super cómodos. La tela es poco rígida y creía que se iba a disolver fácilmente a la primera lavada pero han resistido muy bien. A la hora de lavarlos me sorprendí ya qué no se les adhiere la suciedad permanentemente. Siguen como nuevos.Tengo pies ligeros y delicados pero muy fuertes, es muy común de que la suela la agujere fácilmente, pero ya llevo 4 meses con ellos y no he tenido necesidad de conseguir suelas nuevas.Las únicas personas que no les recomendaría este par son las que constantemente viven en un lugar muy rocoso, al caminar sobre grava o piedras punteagudas se siente un poco incómodo pero para mi que vivo en un lugar urbano están excelentes.

Una excelente compra, ya que a mi hijo le encantaron ya que son antiderrantes y muy cómodos.

Muy cómodos
