WHITINMen's Wide Minimalist Barefoot Sneakers | Zero Drop | Midfoot Stability

I had originally purchased a pair of sneakers from On Cloud, they looked great, felt good...but man once I walk in them for 5+ minutes it starts hurting the sides and soles of my feet. Unfortunately, I had to return them.I eventually found these and ordered a pair...for over $100 less. Ordered in my "normal" size. They fit great and they look decent. Quality seems to be good so far, no real complaints for the price honestly. I do wear them to the gym for weightlifting and the soles are SUPER grippy and stable. I originally bought a pair of laces for them but was pleased to find that the laces they came with were slightly elastic and best of all they're "soft" and pliable so I kept the original laces.I will say, I walked in these for an hour a couple of times. The first 2-3 times I did that the ball on one foot started swelling a little. But from what I understand now with these "minimal(ish)" style shoes, you need to let you feet get accustomed to them. Sure enough, no issues now walking in them.Definitely considering buy another pair in a different color.

Comfortable minimalist shoes with a wide toe box. Been wearing them during my workouts for almost 2 years and they've held up very well. The style is a lot better than some of the competitors.

These are a great first pair of barefoot shoes especially for walking. For running they don't work for me but milage may very. If you have the money then I would get something more durable like Vivobarefoot, Feelgrounds, Groundies, Be Lenka, etc.Durability - I wore these delivering pizzas for around 30 hours a week. The tread went flat in a few months. I kept wearing them and they lasted me about 11 months before the soles split and water got in. At some point the sole also started rolling over itself a bit which I felt slightly while walking. On the outside the treading all looks good but on the inside it's falling apart a bit. For $40 I can't really complain, but it is a little wasteful to have to replace your shoes once or twice a year.Comfort - if you like cushy shoes then these are a big adjustment. Once you get used to them, they are super comfy for walking; they really feel sort of barefoot. For running they don't really work for me because when I tighten down the laces, the tongue folds over and becomes a pressure point. They have thin, flexible, somewhat soft soles; I would not want to step on a nail in these but they provide great ground feel. The toe box is nice and wide so they don't squeeze my toes.

The price I payed vs the quality I received do not match at all. The are an amazing deal. The are super comfy, super sturdy, and look good too. Do I expect them to last years and years and years, no. But at this price even if I had to buy a pair every year it still comes out cheaper then other barefoot shoes out there. That being said, the soles are ridged, not much feeling of the ground below the feet. I would not recommend if you have thick feet as they are a bit tight. However the toe box is super wide. The laces are almost purely for aesthetics, as the shoe firs like a sock. Hense I do not recommend for people with thick feet. But all in all happy with the purchace.

These are my first pair of barefoot shoes and they are amazing to say the least. I mainly like to use them for daily walking, rucking (walking with a weighted 40lb vest) and for leg day at the gym. The wide toe box makes this shoe very comfortable and easy for my foot to retain its natural shape.I wouldn't really recommend them for long distance running, though. From my experience, they feel great for the first 1.5 miles and then you'll start to feel the fatigue in the forefoot area if you go any longer than that. You can definitely switch to mid-foot striking to compensate, but these shoes are not meant to be used for any sort of vigorous running (IMO)Apparently some people experienced issues with the outsole's durability, however my pair were very durable and worked in all environments. Highly recommend that you use this pair for the gym, or when you go on walks, but probably not for hiking or anything like that. I believe Whitin has a specific pair for hiking.Overall,These are a great way to ease into the whole barefoot game. The wide toe box, the sock-like feel and the price makes this shoe worth every penny.

Was looking to finally get into wide set shoes after having some foot pain and I decided to get these a try. I got size 13 which is my normal shoe size, but they proved to be clownishly too big (felt like Ronald McDonald walking around). I checked with the size chart and I decided to go on the smaller side, after having measured my foot. I got a size 11. Too small. Sent back and ordered a 12. Too small still. Got a 12.5. Finally felt good. The shoes themselves are comfy. I like how they "hug" your ankles. That being said, the shoes are not without issues. The sole is incredibly bendable, to the point where there isn't really a lot of support. I took out the shoe inserts the shoes came with and I put in some Dr. Scholls. Felt much better, that being said. The shoes felt fine for a few weeks. But then the right shoe started to squeak whenever I walked. This wasn't a surface issue, since the right shoe squeaked regardless whether I was walking on a hardwood floor, poured concrete, or out on the street. I've tried several things to help tone down the squeaking (including WD-40), but didn't really prove helpful. I do walk a lot and I put a lot miles on my shoes. While these shoes are decent for the time being, I'm thinking next time I'll get the real thing (Olukai boat shoes, which are over $100, but I think they'll give me more support). Overally I'm happy with what I got for the $40 I paid for them.

My husband has a bunion from having to grow up wearing soccer shoes that are straight pointy and tight.. his whole life he couldn’t find a shoe that allowed his toes to spread out. I surprised him with these barefoot shoes and he looked up at me and said “I can actually wiggle my toes and when I walk my toes actually spread out it feels amazing!” So, if anyone has those bunions, I’d say get this shoe! Plus it actually looks really really great! I even as a wife, noticed a slight confidence booster when he walks.

Muy buenos todos los dedos libres y la suela calidad

The wide toe box and minimalist feel of these shoes is great. Great choice for an entry level to minimalist shoes. The removable sole can help ease you into gradually reducing the cushioning on your foot. I do not take them out in the rain or snow, the adhesive does look a bit iffy around the sole of the shoe. When they stay dry they feel and look great though.

Ordered half a size smaller and it was still too big. They also sent me green instead of the black colour I requested.

Well made barefoot shoes.Comfortable.Fits snug at the heel. Wider at the toe.Wish they had an Extra-Wide.

Very nice
