Review: Wow, so comfortable, great for neuropathy - Edit: (I have not taken these shoes off in a week except to sleep) Read the reviews, thanks guys, was looking forward to trying these. I live in Florida, so you don't need much, but I also need protection because of peripheral neuropathy. I was wondering how good these shoes would be. Wow, so comfortable, kinda plush actually. Fit firmly to the feet with plenty of things to adjust the fit of the shoe. Holds the foot very well without a lot of pressure. Some shoes you have to tighten here or there to make them fit, but not these. You know they are there and on, but barely. I can't comment on water resistantance, I have cheap shoes for the ocean, just glad to know they can handle water. The insoles are ok, I see what other reviewers are referring to. They are comfortable, don't get me wrong, but a good pair of insoles when the factory ones wear out will be nice. If you're like me, I was hesitant to try the good minimalist water resistant shoes. I have some of the cheap ones, and I thought, how can someone run over terrain in these? I get it now, these are worth the extra dollars, way worth it. The fit, the comfort and they look kinda cool. I would get cheaper tennis shoes to kick around the house and work outside. I seem to sacrifice something with the cheap shoes, I am going to get another pair of these. You don't have to sacrifice anything with these shoes, they are great. Review: Free The Toes! - These are fantastic! I was leery when they arrived shrink-wrapped instead of in a box. Toes can splay out comfortably and naturally but the shoe is not am overall sloppy, wide fit. Lacing and Velcro fastener provide good adjustment. Feet have never felt better. Good for walking both street and trails. Summers get over 100º here and these are very breathable. I bought a half-size up to wear with socks. Have two pair. Have also gifted a pair. Well made. Super flexible sole. Zero drop. As close to barefoot as you can get. Price has gone up about $10 since I got mine - hopefully they drop back to around $30. ## Features - A wide toe box lets your toes spread and relax - Produced using animal free products and processes - Removable sockliner (insole) if you want a “more barefoot” feeling - True rubber sole provides great protection while still getting the ground feedback - Note, if between sizes, order next size down ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B0DRV4NG1P | | Best Sellers Rank | #20,812 in Clothing, Shoes & Jewelry ( See Top 100 in Clothing, Shoes & Jewelry ) #8 in Men's Trail Running Shoes | | Customer Reviews | 4.3 4.3 out of 5 stars (11,429) | | Date First Available | December 30, 2024 | | Department | mens | | Item model number | Minimalist Trail Runner | | Manufacturer | WHITIN | ## Images ![Men's Minimalist Trail Runner | Wide Toe Box | Barefoot Inspired - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71rcsmtP-vL.jpg) ## Available Options This product comes in different **Color, Size** options. ## Questions & Answers **Q: How are these for hiking? Did anyone try any hiking or camping with these?** A: I used this hiking on a trail that had lots of rocks! Sand, small, medium to large size rocks along the trail. A lot of uneven parts and the even some mild sharp rocks. Breezed through it like a champ! Felt so nimble and had no issues. **Q: Are these good for road running as well?** A: They hold up super well due to the durable rubber outsole. These shoes are great for anything from trail running to running on the street. **Q: Would these be good for working a 12 hour shift in a warehouse everyday?** A: I work 10-12 hrs/day. I put in another insole to keep my feet comfortable. I've never seen wide toed shoes like this before. The wide toed style makes me happy. **Q: hola buenos dia cual es el costo real de los zapatos y cuanto seria el costo de envio a venezuela** A: The question this user asked is: “Hello, good morning, what is the real cost of the shoes and how much would the shipping cost to Venezuela be?” Unfortunately, I don’t have an answer but perhaps now that it’s translated someone can help. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Wow, so comfortable, great for neuropathy *by J***G on February 24, 2024* Edit: (I have not taken these shoes off in a week except to sleep) Read the reviews, thanks guys, was looking forward to trying these.

I can always find someone to pick about with shoes, so don't let the minus 1 start fool you I picked up my 1st pair of Whitin's just over a year ago and I still wear them. Just before that I started with another even cheaper version from another manufacturer. For the price point, I didn't know if you can get better, but yes you can get better. Pros: • durable enough to wear daily for a year+ and not wear out • inexpensive • very comfortable • true to size • all the normal barefoot benefits Cons: • they come with a minimally raised heel insole, hence not true zero drop, but close. Regardless, I prefer thinner and zero drop, so I take them out and put in a cheap pair of cotton or other barefoot style insole. I really wish they would come up with a version with thinner zero drop insoles, as it would probably save them and me money. • I'd love to see a puncture proof sole. I've never puncture these yet, but I am confident they're not puncture proof. • I would love it if they improved the inner lining beneath the insole. I often would just like to have no insole at all, but the stitching and materials inside, while useable, are clearly not intended for this purpose, leaving room for improvement. All in all, I would and have recommended these to many. For this price, you should say least try out barefoot shoes, and the "beginner insoles" they come with might be a pro for you if you're new to this style. I've purchased 4 total now, when I find them on sale for even better price points, 1 for my wife 1 for keeping a clean pair, and for when I wear out my original pair. I will buy again, but I also may look for an upgrade to these if they don't have newer options when my next time for replacement comes. ## Frequently Bought Together - WHITIN Men's Minimalist Trail Runner | Wide Toe Box | Barefoot Inspired - WHITIN Men's Minimalist Trail Running Shoes | Wide Toe Box | Optimal Barefoot-Feel - WHITIN Men's Barefoot Trail-Running Shoes | Wide Toe-Box | Zero-Drop Sole | Optimal Traction --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.com.kw/products/129163173-mens-minimalist-trail-runner-wide-toe-box-barefoot-inspired](https://www.desertcart.com.kw/products/129163173-mens-minimalist-trail-runner-wide-toe-box-barefoot-inspired) --- *Product available on Desertcart Kuwait* *Store origin: KW* *Last updated: 2026-05-21*
