WHITIN Men's Wide Toe Box Barefoot & Minimalist Shoe | Zero Drop Sole

I'm blown away by these shoes! I was hesitant to buy without trying them on, but the price was too good to pass up. The quality is exceptional, and they're hands down the most comfortable shoes I've ever worn. I've since bought several more pairs in different styles and recommended them to everyone I know. The natural foot shape is a game-changer. As someone who's worn poorly fitting shoes for 40 years, I've developed severe bunions that made running unbearable. But these shoes have been a lifesaver! The wide toe box gives my toes plenty of room, eliminating pressure and pain. I've been able to ditch my old Nike and Adidas shoes, which only made the problem worse. If you're looking for shoes that prioritize foot health, look no further. These have made a huge difference in my life, and I'm sure they will for you too.

Review of WHITIN Men's Minimalist Trail Runner | Wide Toe Box | Barefoot Inspired (4_Black Grey). What I love most about these shoes is they fit my 12 EEEE feet without compressing and deforming my toes like most other shoes the market. I have taken three 6+ mile hikes in them into the Rocky Mountains (1200+ foot elevation gain) on rough trails (gravel, rock, snow, and wet ice. Did great on all but the wet ice on steep—they don’t replace crampons.) I have also walked over 30 miles on paved sidewalks. These shoes are awesome. Wide toe box, zero drop heal, rounded heel, and aggressive tread that actually allows the toes to function the way they are designed. This shoe offers the ground feel of my Vibram 5 Fingers, but with the speed and simplicity of a slip on. (Also, no grass between the toes, no special socks, and my wife likes the way these look.) I love feeling the contours of the larger rocks on the trails, allowing my foot to wrap around them, rather than teeter over them like boot or typical trail sneaker. My previous favorite hiking shoes are my Keen sandals, which I love wearing in the summer, but the dry Denver climate does a real number on cracked heels. Because my big toes are about a half-inch longer than my ‘middle toe,’ I generally need to go up a half-size (from 11-1/2 EEEE to 12 EEEE). If I were ordering these again, I would round down to an 11 EEEE, especially if I were bouldering and wanted that grip at the end of the toe. I love the stretch fabric of this model and imagine it will be very breathable when warmer weather comes. When I first adjusted the laces, I tried to get the shoe very snug under the arch, but the hard plastic side piece dug in at the front edge. After a little experimenting, I got an uber comfortable fit. There is no need to tie or untie the laces after you get the fit right. They easily slip on and off without any need to adjust the laces. Cons: I have not tried theses for running, but if I did, I would probably opt for the models (like the 1_Grey) that have the Velcro strap at the top, and a bit more of a traditional running shoe material for the uppers. (I ordered those first and loved the way they could be tightened, but did not care for the light grey on light grey look, so I returned them.) My feet do not slip inside these (4_Black Grey) when walking, hiking, or playing pickleball, but I suspect they with forefoot running or aggressively changing direction.

My shoes have broken down years ago, but for ~$43 I can't really complain. My Pumas lasted about that long and they cost a cool hundred. They're comfy and perform well. After about 3 years the soles have almost completely separated from the rest of the shoe and the insides have been completely hollowed out by my stanky bare feet. Anyway, they're on sale now so I decided to replace them. Biggest thing I like is the large toe boxes. Can't find that in a modern shoe. My Brooks seem to be okay for that, but I only wear them to places that I don't want dirty looks at. These are comfy, buyin em again. I mean, docking a star because they shouldn't fall apart like that, but can't really expect perfection out of a $40 (on sale $20) shoe.

These are my first pair or barefoot, or minimalist shoes. I’ve always wanted a pair but didn’t like the price of something like vibram five fingers. I read the reviews of this product carefully along with the q&a section, and decided to try them out. I was slightly concerned going in. Some reviews said they run large, are hard on the feet at first, etc. I don’t know if it makes a difference, but I usually wear chucks or vans slip on shoes or any other flat type shoe, so keep that in mind. I put on the shoes and went for a quick stroll outside to see how they were. They fit perfectly (I ignored the warnings of them running large and got my usual size 12) and were surprisingly way more cushioned than I was expecting. I remembered they have removable insoles, took them out, and went for a walk. I went for a one or two mile walk, testing out every surface and texture. I walked on grass, tall grass, concrete, gravel, and dirt. I went out of my way to step on every rock and crack and uneven surface along my way, to test the shoe. It felt great! I’m not suggesting anyone go out of their way to step on rocks or other hazards more than you have to, but I will say that it felt safer and more comfortable to do in these shoes. It flexes enough to let your feet and toes grip and move and position in such a way that’s much more natural than a rigid flat sole. I’m instantly in love with these shoes, but to be fair, this is only my first day (and first walk) wearing them. For every three months these things survive for the first year of having them, I’ll update my review. * UPDATE (12/05/2021) * The day after I posted my initial review (in September) I tore my foot up pretty bad wearing these shoes and walking ten miles. It was my fault though; I shouldn’t have taken the insole out. I put the insole back in and this shoe has been the most comfortable shoe I’ve ever had. I was also happy to learn the laces were decorative and this shoe is a slip on. Excellent! It’s perfect for me…except for one thing. I mention in my original review that I read things carefully. Apparently not carefully enough as these are trail shoes and not made for city walking. Despite this, the shoes were working for everything perfectly. Then one day my foot started hurting like a pebble was in my shoe. I looked at the bottom of my shoe to discover it had a hole straight through it. RIP shoes… I’m not changing my five stars because it’s not their fault I got trail shoes for sidewalk use. Not only that, but the first two months I had them, I walked a minimum of ten miles a day. I even liked them so much that I’m going to get another pair from this same company (the right kind this time) to give them a fair chance. I highly recommend these shoes still.

I have been looking for a replacement for my Saucony Hattori shoes for a long time. I have finally found it. These shoes work well for trail shoes. They have just enough "trail feel" for me. If you would like to feel more get some thinner insoles. I mostly hike in rocky and debris-strewn areas both on the trail and "bushwacking." These shoes have proven effective at protecting my toes while allowing me to feel the ground below me. The is superb and you get that unmistakable feeling in your legs that thin, zero-drop shoes provide. The sole is nice and flexy. When I first put them on I thought that they may have been too big but with just a few hours of wear, my foot settled in nicely. Give them a chance before you think they are too large for your size. However, if you wear a half size, I may suggest that you go to the size below. I have really beaten these shoes up over the last few weeks and they are holding up fine. No nasty smells from the shoes even though I exclusively wear them barefoot. I ordered the laced version because I wanted to wear them in public and not look too weird. I will be ordering another pair with the strap for my outdoor adventures but these are great shoes for the money. My only suggestion would be to order some different shoestrings as the ones that come with the shoes are extremely basic and some nicer rounded strings would improve the shoe. Don't forget to allow yourself some time to get used to minimalist zero-drop shoes. They can really hurt you if you don't take your time getting used to them. This is a characteristic of all shoes in this category, not just these. I will definitely order another pair and would suggest them to anyone looking for this type of shoe. Even if you decide that barefoot isn't your thing, you have only spent about $30. Update: my old pair finally wore out. But they lasted well. I just got the newer style with the Velcro strap. They are comfortable and I hope they last just as long.

EDIT - Update to previous review (included below) Unfortunately I can't add any stars, because 5 is the max. I bought another pair (in the grayscale camo) for warm-weather hunting. While I was mainly using these as quick and easy "grab and go" shoes they're my primary shoe now for everything. On or off the beaten path, they're great for everything. What they AREN'T good for: - Deep water (once soaked they stay soaked for over a day) So they're great in the water, but don't leave them on or you'll get trench foot. Of course that's true for just about any shoe. - Cold. There's no insulation here. - Protecting the sides/tops of your feet from abuse - you'll want boots if you might drop something on your toes. Otherwise these shoes do it all. All day/long distance walking. This is situational. If you build up your endurance your feet won't get as tired. The key thing is that when you're effectively barefoot you "use" your feet a lot more than when they're encased in a padded and stabilized shoe. PREVIOUS REVIEW I am decidedly not a trail runner. That's not what I got the shoes for. What I like about them is that the soles are extremely flexible, so once tied you can easily get them on/off without untying/retying. They're tough enough to be a "real" shoe for going out, and light enough to be more like a slipper. I wouldn't wear them to the office necessarily, but they work great for casual stuff. I'd guess based on the feel of the rubber in the sole, and on other reviews here, that the tread will wear rapidly on concrete/pavement. I'm not worried about it since I don't use them for running, and I don't drag my feet when I walk. Even if they do wear quickly, they're cheap enough to replace more often without breaking the bank. I will say that they're light on padding. The way you get that barefoot feel is by having a very flexible - and thin - sole. You don't get a lot of cushion under your feet with these which means if you're not used to walking around barefoot you're going to get a lot more foot fatigue - particularly on hard surfaces. Again, I use these primarily as a grab-and-go shoe for errands and other situations where I expect to not be on my feet for an extended time. They're also great off-road shoes - a fantastic combination of being able to feel the ground underfoot without feeling any sharp rocks or the other "pokey-bits" of nature. I'd also add they're great for driving where a thicker, less-flexible sole make it more difficult to feel the pedals. If you know what heel-and-toe shifting is, you know what I'm talking about. Finally, my foot is annoyingly between 12 and 13, meaning about half the size 12's I try are too small, and half the 13's are way too big. The size 12 in this fits like a glove. Or a sock, as the case may be.

Update: These shoes lasted 2 years wearing them every day. Finally I wore a hole theough the sole. I bought a new pair of these shoes to replace the worn out ones. The new ones are supposedly the same size and color, but they are quite a bit smaller than the first pair. They have more padding too. They fit fairly well without the laces. I solved the problem with the laces being too long with the first pair by replacing them with elastic laces that didn't drag on the ground. When this 2nd pair loosens up, as all shoes do when you break them in, I will use elastic laces again. End of Update I am not a runner. I bought these shoes because of the wide toe box. I have been experiencing foot pain -- self diagnosed as Morton's Neuroma -- due to my toes being smashed together in other shoes. I can spread my toes out in these shoes. They are very comfortable. A few things to note: 1) The laces can be used to tighten the shoe like traditional laces do, but the shoe doesn't have a tongue. The plastic parts on the outside where the laces thread through dig into the top of my feet. By the end of the 2nd day, the tops of my feet were painful from where the plastic dug in. After a week, my feet got used to the plastic and it no longer hurts. 2) The laces don't stay tied. I'm constantly tripping over the laces. Tying the loops together after tying the shoes helps, but at least once every day, I have to retie them. 3) These are like walking / running barefoot. Even with the included insole, you can feel every rock -- especially small ones -- underfoot. Although I can walk comfortably in gravel.

Flat and wide. This product is spot on with its description, sizing, and feel. My exact foot specification (professionally measured) is 11.75 US Extra Wide. Not just wide, EXTRA wide. I blame it on all that barefoot traveling I did as a child. As a result, it is difficult to find shoes that don't squeeze my toes into one giant comminuted blister. Especially since modern shoes are so narrow. I have tried everything, even Skechers' extra extra wide sizing. And aside from looking ridiculous, they still close at the toes in an uncomfortable manner. Most running shoes close to the point my toes begin to poke holes into the sides. It is impossible to find quality running shoes my size in a store. So I ordered these figuring that the price was worth the risk, and WOW! I ordered a size 12, but I was worried about sizing down since I was technically in between sizes and they didn't have an 11.5, but I worried 11 would be too small. The 12 fits perfectly and my toes reach the ends without discomfort. I even have room to relax my toes without squeezing or rubbing them into a blister. I honestly could have used a little bit wider, but at that point it would probably look like I'm wearing clown shoes. These are soft and stretchy enough to accommodate me anyway. Took them out for a run in the morning and it felt so natural. I was on the pavement, but I have no doubt they can manage on the less rocky trails. It really does feel like you're running barefooted, so it might take you a while for your muscles and running/walking posture to adjust. I definitely felt more muscle activation and control during my run, and I think I was even faster. But I got worn out a lot quicker as my muscles felt sore in a way that I have never felt with normal running shoes. I am looking forward to the musculoskeletal improvements from using these shoes. Can't comment on durability, but if they last me >1 month then they're definitely worth every penny. I'm used to running the treads off my running shoes in no time. The flat design of these doesn't seem to promise much longevity, but for the price and feel it seems worth it.

Perfect fit, very light and super comfortable. My son loves them and the seller was prompt for delivery to QLD Australia and replies to my queries. Thank you very much.

At $42, this is a good price point for a zero drop shoe. I think a lot of other shoe companies are taking advantage of the barefoot "fad" and charging way too much for what's effectively a sock with a rubber sole. This one fits nicely, and is quite comfortable to wear, with a good quality sole.

Happy

Very well adapted to my feet and after a couple of months it's still very comfortable and resistant! I use them in my Kung fu classes and for my calisthenic exercises! They are exactly what I needed!
