Best I’ve ever worn! And I’ve worn a lot!
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.

Having room is for your toes to move is a complete game changer!
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!

Affordable Barefoot Comfort—My Feet Have Never Felt Better!
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!

Great travel shoes.
These shoes are great. I was looking for something lightweight that I could shove in a backpack while traveling. I got these and couldn’t be happier. In a pinch they can work as a business casual shoe as well as a running shoe. Not ideal for either, but they work well enough.I wear a size 11.5 regular (not wide) and ordered the 12. They fit perfectly. Highly recommend.

The toe box is the entire reason I both these.
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.

Yes they look like clown shoes
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

Stitching rubs inside
It fits my son’s really wide feet and he likes them, but the inside stitching rubs his feet. I don’t think he can keep them. How do they not think of that when making a shoe? Walking with something rubbing is uncomfortable and will lead to blisters or just never wearing the shoes.

Worth every penny
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.

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.

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!
