WHITINMen's Wide Minimalist Barefoot Sneakers | Zero Drop Sole | Optimal Relaxation

Best shoes I've ever put on my feet. I'm a former competitive runner. I have a cabinet full of trophies and ran on the 1964 Tennessee state cross country team from Clarksville, Tennessee. I played tennis for Belmont University in their first position as a senior. I have walked and hiked all my life. I have a home that demands a lot of outdoor lawn work, landscaping and mowing. I work in retirement delivering travel brochures in a four state area and am jumping in and out of a van all day for my work. I have put a lot of miles on my feet. Whitten has made the last few years on my feet the most pleasant of them all. I will be 78 in June. Whitten 's are extremely comfortable, their enduring quality is amazing and I have them in different styles and colors for assorted occasions and needs. The materials and especially the glue bonds are almost unbelievable considering what I sometimes have put them through. Thank you for making quality, versatile, comfortable shoes.

Gotta say, I am so glad I found Whitin shoes. This blue pair is my 5th pair!! I have the same style in black and brown, I have the gray canvas shoes, and I also have the light blue running shoes.My feet and toe spread have been completely transformed! I no longer feel pain in my foot, and I am able to wiggle my toes while in the shoes.I have also found that when standing, I used to lean to one side to take the pressure off of my hips, now with Whitin's I stand square on both feet and it is a much more comfortable position.Since purchasing my first pair of Whitin's, I have not purchased any other shoe brand.Thanks, so much! Keep up the great work making a fantastic product!

I was hesitant at first about these WHITIN barefoot shoes, mostly because I saw how pricey other minimalist shoes could get. But after giving them a try, I have zero regrets—they’ve quickly become my go-to everyday shoe. They're surprisingly comfortable, really lightweight, and breathable, making them perfect for daily activities. I especially appreciate the wide toe box, which lets my toes spread naturally—way more comfy than the tight sneakers I used to wear. They're easy to slip on and feel amazing, even after long days on my feet.Pros:Comfortable & Roomy: Wide toe box lets your toes spread naturally, which feels fantastic, especially if you’re on your feet all day.Affordable Alternative: Way less expensive than high-end brands like Vivo or Xero, but still deliver great quality and feel.Light & Breathable: Super lightweight, so your feet stay cool and comfortable, even in warmer weather or during exercise.Cons:Limited Padding: If you're new to barefoot shoes, it takes some getting used to, and you might feel more impact walking on hard surfaces at first.Adjusting Period: Your feet might need time to adjust to the minimalist design, especially if you’re used to heavily cushioned sneakers.Overall, these shoes are a steal for anyone wanting the barefoot experience without breaking the bank. Perfect for casual wear, gym days, or even just walking around the house. If you're new to barefoot shoes or skeptical about investing big bucks, start here—you'll be pleasantly surprised!

These shoes are fantastic for a fairly minimalist shoe. There’s very little heel drop, and there is so much room for activities in the toe box of these shoes. They run a close to true size, maybe slightly larger…but BARELY. I weight lift in them and love the extra sensory input from not having a lot of padding. I probably wouldn’t do any distance running in them though. 1000% will buy again. Only down side is, there is no water resistance at all. If water drops on your foot, you’re going to feel it.

But they are super comfortable and great for martial arts. They seem higher quality than the price would indicate.They did squeak the first time I worked them but the end of class that had stopped so I guess whatever was on the sole from the manufacturer had rubbed off. Recommended

Let me start off my saying this is my first time ever having this type of footwear. They are very well worth it, very comfortable and fits just as described. You can slip them on very easy as well, tied them the day I got them and just slid them on and off. It does take a few weeks to get used to them but after that you are good. Do yourself a favor and get them.

I want to love these because the material is soft and the fit is generous, I even like the style and color a lot compared with standard shoes.However, there is a substantial issue in the right shoe that causes me such discomfort, I have a hard time walking in it more than a couple of minutes. I've reached inside and can feel some questionable workmanship on the inner seam by my little toe causes constant pressure against my skin. My foot ends up dented, bruised and numb even after a short walk. Really doubting whether I can live with this the problem, because it doesn't appear to be easily fixable.

I get lots of funky looks but these things are so comfortable. I can walk all day in these. Better than my most expensive sneakers. I do wear them without socks. My brother in law had to order a pair of his own and he loves his.
