WHITIN Women's Barefoot & Minimalist Shoe | Zero Drop Sole | Trail Runner

All my foot pain is gone now! On a whim I decided to try these Barefoot shoes. I've got three issues with my feet; Morton's Neuroma, high arches, and a congenital bunion on my left foot. And my closet is full of other name brand (and expensive) athletic footwear that doesn't work. Within an hour of walking I have searing pain and it stops me in my tracks. A Wide size doesn't work because my feet aren't wide. What to do? I found these here on Amazon when I searched for "Wide to box shoes". Being late to the Barefoot shoe trend, I decided not to pay an arm and a leg for these, as I didn't hold out much hope for success. Wow, was I wrong. I just returned from a 9 day trip through New England, where I walked 10K steps daily. On concrete, grass, rocky trail surfaces and wet docks. I brought along two other pairs of shoes, but ended up only wearing these. And I had absolutely ZERO pain, the entire time. Pros: comfortable, stylish, and easy to put on and off. Cons: the laces are ribbon thin and come loose unless you double tie them. They're also too long, so I'll replace them with shorter and thicker laces. Otherwise these are a win! I wear a Size 7 (US) and bought the 6.5/7 size and they fit perfectly. Don't hesitate, buy these shoes!

I love the shoes. They are very comfortable and seem to be well-made. I wear them barefoot but as with my other Whitin shoes - the canvas style - next time I will order one size up if I plan to wear footies with them. I wear a 7.5 and got the 7.5-8 size for women. It fits if I'm barefoot but is snug if I wear footies. I am SO happy to have transitioned to barefoot shoes. I have high arches and wide feet and finding comfortable shoes has been a challenge. I am athletic and thus on my feet a lot. Since transitioning to barefoot shoes my old shoes with arch support actually hurt my feet. I absolutely love these barefoot shoes and how strong my feet are getting just by wearing them.

I really like these shoes. Lightweight, good support, look nice, but just not wide enough. My big toe is squished. I normally wear 9-9.5, that's what I chose. Maybe go 1 size up. I'm sad iy have to send them back.

These shoes are my favorite barefoot/zero drop shoes. They are the only tennis shoes I wear now. I wear them quite often, at my second job when I am on my feet all day, gardening, hiking and just for every day use. The traction on the bottom is good I’ve climbed up some pretty steep hills and they kept gripping on. Of course if you are used to cushioned sneakers it’ll take some adjustment for your feet to strengthen up the tendons and muscles in your feet, but you’ll be better off for it. I bought another pair recently so I have grey and black and I love that they just look like regular tennis shoes, not like those toe shoes that are barefoot shoes. I wash mine in the washer with my other clothing quite often and have had no problems with the, coming apart or being damaged in any way.

Why did you pick this product vs others?:For water areas on a cruise ship n beach walking.Be sure to pick up your feet when walking. In these, they have good grip and can make you stumble if you're not paying proper attention.Pull shoelaces nice and tight so they don't come undone.Despite this, I still really like this purchase and that I can go bare foot in them, they are breathable.

Cute shoe! Sole color is more of a peachy color than a true gum sole. The toe box isn’t as wide as I expected. If you’re looking for a true wide toe box to let your toe freely spread with no restrictions, I’d order it in a wide. As I can feel the outside of my pinky toes were being rubbed and a little irritated after wearing. It is a super cute, low profile shoe so I’ll wear them for quick outings and style. My foot width at widest toe bed spread is 3 3/4. I pictured a comparison shoe to show sole color difference and toe box shape. These are slightly more rounded causing to toe rub. I do love their look! Sole padding is true barefoot.

These have become my favorite hiking shoes in tropical or temperate climates.I wore vibrant five fingers for years, however I would keep getting “blow-out” holes between the toes. The company kept changing the design of their hiking shoes. I did not like the fit, looks or feel of many of their newer designs. Plus, for me, five-fingers were not comfortable in wet or cold conditions.Then I tried these “barefoot” shoes, and love them! I have had my first pair for about one year, and they have lasted surprising well for travel, hiking and gym shoes. (I no longer run.) I still have a lot of life left in this pair, however I do not wear them everyday.I feel very confident wearing them on the trail and get good cushioning with the liner and hiking tread. They “stick” rather than “slip” on wet rocks at stream crossings and on steep slopes. (They are not completely magical, one still needs to be careful on wet and steep moss covered paths.).These are the best barefoot travel hiking shoes for moderate or tropical climates, that I have worn. I like the option for wearing “normal” socks, which I do not have with the Vibram Five-Fingers. These are light and pack compactly, too.I recently hiked in them for over four weeks in Bhutan and Thailand, plus they successfully walked miles of trails and pavement in Australia, Mexico, and the USA.I just ordered two more pairs, one as street and gym shoes and another, identical to my first pair, for hiking. I want to ensure I have the same design when these finally “blow out.”
