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

So, where do I start I am on my feet for about 10 hours a day. I work on a assembly line and we do have a very nice mat that is under us which is about a 1/4 inch thick. But, we walk all day, with no sitting, so you are on your feet all day. I myself have a bit of a narrow foot I think, and for years, I mean, all of my life I have worn shoes that just tear my feet apart. That is mainly all shoes would give me a really bad callus on my big toes. I learned fast that I could not wear shoes with a lot of bells and whistles. I needed shoes flat. I found that flat shoes worked best for me. So for a long while now I have worn cheap chuck taylors from dollar general. But they would only last about 6 months. Needless to say, I could not find them in my area any more and even those would tear my toes apart on a long day. So, I tried another flat shoe form walmart, and again, they would tear up my toes. So, a lady I worked with had a pair of these, and I had been in the market for some and thought I would give them a try. So, I have worn them three days now and I will give my first impressions. My left shoe felt fine most of the time, but the right always seemed like there was something weird going on with the insert. I also felt a tightness around my arch and the top of my foot. I love the wide toe box, and no rubbing for my toes now, but the middle of the foot was a bit snug for me. Doing some research after buying these I found that you can take out the insole. Some say that these are not barefoot shoes, I think mainly because of the insole. The insole has a bit of a arch to it. So today, I took out the insole and replaced the insole with some flat rubber drawer liner I had laying around. I saw on the internet that some would use a yoga mat, but this is all I had. So, with that said, depending on if you want a arch or not, I would say get these and try them with the insoles that come with them, or maybe make your own. I want to be as close to the ground as possible, because I do want to feel like I am bare foot. I do wear thick wool socks most of the time too, so, that could have made them more snug in the center, but the insole still had a lot to do with it. So I wore them today for the first time with my homemade insole. So far so good. I will give them a real test this week at work. I just love the fact that my toes are not getting almost rubbed raw every day. All in all like any new shoes, there are some getting use to and a break in process. For me, the break in needs to happen in the top around the mid section and the arch area. I would recommend these to anyone who is wanting to get into barefoot shoes. For the price these would be a good transition shoe. As far as barefoot shoes go, I do not think I am going back to normal shoes. My toes can't take the punishment anymore, and I love the idea that my whole foot is working through out the day. So I encourage anyone to give these at try. The quality seems good. I will give more of a update later as I wear them longer.

These shoes have a comfortable no drop sole and fit as guided by the store was right on spot. They are light and comfortable and seem to be a good value for an affordable shoe. The manufacturing is good quality and should wash nicely when the time comes to clean them. I’ve walked several miles in them already and are good for day to day wear. The gum sole seems sturdy and should last.

Cheap, simple and comfortable. This item is in value category, it works well, looks good and is very cheap at the same time. Keep in mind this is shoe is tough on the feet, it has minimal cushion so unless you are ready to handle this type of shoes it may make your feet sore very quickly. Grip is very good, toe box is large - they are comfortable. One negative is that material facing the ground makes squeaking noise on most hard surfaces, no issues with pavement, asphalt, but indoors - it will be an issue. If you will be using these indoors most of the time - I advise you find another options, these are great for outdoors. It is a 4 start because of the noise they make on some surfaces - otherwise great value.

I've had these for almost 4 years. I have bought many more since these as I've really loved these shoes since these are my working shoes! I have put these shoes through the ringer to say the least! We are gutting our house and I have used them from everything inside to everything outside work related. I have done lumber work, busted sheetrock, put up sheetrock, tilled, mowed, moved rock, dug trenches, hauled dirt, soaked them, washed them, and repeat. They hold up to the washer and dryer. They look like they're falling apart, but truly they're so comfortable even still! The soles towards the toe can be super glued back and new insoles can be purchased if you're looking to stretch them. I am amazed at how they are just now looking like this. I have wore these things soooo much! I changed all my shoes over to barefoot/anatomical shoes and these have outbeat top brands. Plus the price point keeps me coming back. My whole family wears them, kids included. These shoes have fixed my husband's plantar fasciitis. He went to the chiropractor and got those expensive insoles and they only helped a little, but got worse over time. He wears nothing else now and is also sold on these. They hold up a long time and are the widest free range shoe I've had! Making them the most comfortable! I can't rave on these enough!

Was apprehensive to pull the trigger on these shoes, mostly due to cost and associating that with quality. I am very pleased with them, though. The price point makes them a steal! First the good: I have VERY flat, low profile feet, kinda like skis. Plus my pinky toe has started rolling over and goinng inward. THese shoes provide a generous toe box, and even loosely laced fit my feet like a glove. It was weird walking in them at first as this is the only pair of 0 drop shoes I have worn, almost tripped walking down the hall as if my feet didn't know how to work. After a couple minutes I adapted. My feet feel more "connected" to the ground, with exceptional grip and fit. My feet are very comfortable and not tired after a full day at work on my feet. I will be buying more in the future. The bad: This doesn't take away from my fondness of the shoes, but the top of the toe box (near the laces) somewhat folds in, creating a look of shoes that dont fit well, despite them fitting perfectly. So if you are someone who prefers appearance of functionality, this might drive you crazy. Tall profile feet may eliminate this, as they would fill out the shoe more. Additionally, the fitting chart for these shoes is whack! I measured my foot heal to toe, based on their recommendation I should order a size 8. I read another review that indicated I should order my usual size. So I ordered an 11 (im an 11.5 mens), and they fit perfect! Overall, great shoe, even better value, time will tell how well they hold up to daily wear and tear. Im impressed so far and would recommend to freinds.

Wore through super quick, especially at the back of the heel. I patched it up and now they’ve lasted about 6 months. Looks good, and almost professional. Felt like a decent barefoot shoe

I got these to help improve my balance. I am almost 65, and noticed that my balance was a little off. For the first few days of wearing them, I noticed that my legs would feel like they were starting to cramp while walking if the walking was a longer distance. I believe this was just the shoes making me use muscles that control your balance, that I had not been using because I was wearing more padded shoes. This went away in a few days and I do feel like my balance is better and I am more sure footed. The shoes feel like your walking in moccasins. I did order one size bigger then I normally wear and the fit was perfect. The material is thin on the inside but seems to be a sturdy canvas material on the outside. So I am careful how I put them on and off, always unlacing them to take off by hand and putting them on by hand and lacing them up. The sole inside feels like your getting a foot massage as you walk. Not sure how long they will last, but with care I hope to have them a while.

Comfortable, stylish, wide shoes. Classic casual shoe for men or women. Accommodates custom orthotic insoles as well.

Caminar en ellos es muy cómodo y permiten que el pie se acomode perfectamente. La suela no es mullida, pero se siente casi como caminar descalzo y ese es el objetivo de este tipo de zapatos. Claro que si protege de piedras o texturas del piso. Recomendaría pedir la talla ajustada a tu pie, porque como es amplio, se acomoda bien. A mi me hubiera gustado pedirla por lo menos media talla menos, que sería justo la medida de mi pie. Estoy muy contenta con ellos.

This is the best affordable model by far for this brand. Nice wide toe, truly think sole, laces that fits any high or low volume feet. I use them daily all day and not pain at all. I recommend to buy a size that let 1cm minimun between your toes and the shoes to allow your feet spread freely during the day. Excellent price/value.

Justo lo que esperaba, muy cómodos en comparación con los tenis/zapatillas tradicionales, siento la pisada más estable y el zero drop resulta confortable al caminar, venía con unos pequeños defectos de fábrica, pero prácticamente no se ven esos detalles. El diseño me gustó aún más en persona

The wide toe box is a game changer. If you're not used to shoes like this, there can be an adjustment period for your foot muscles. Saved our feet in Disneyland!
