WHITIN Men's Canvas Wide Barefoot Sneakers Casual Style W81V2

Great entry point for this kind of shoe (zero drop, wide toebox). Their shape gives them a different look, but that was something I got used to quickly. They are lightweight, cheap and serve as a fashionable foot covering and not much else. If that's what you're looking for, you may want to give these a try. But, I wouldn't consider these if you're looking for arch support or a high impact running shoe.

I love these shoes. Compliments abound. This is the second time I’ve bought them. They are super comfy and the sole is zero drop with the right thickness. I usually don’t need to untie them for the next wear. The color holds up well. The photo shows the new pair with my original pair that I had just dyed. I keep the first pair for gym shoes now.

The Pros: - The shoes have a wide toe box as advertised and reason for the purchase. - My feet and toes weee happy - Clean look - Very flexible move around in - Affordable The Cons: - Not comfortable if you wear them more then 2 hours outdoors on different surfaces - The sole should be replaced at the time you try them on. I had to use a different pair after 1 walk. Honestly not a bad shoe and would purchase more if the comfortability was better. You do get what you pay for.

I was pleasantly surprised by these. They fit like a glove, and are my ideal balance between something to protect the bottom of my feet but not inhibit foot and toe movement and ground contact. I use them as daily drivers, but they would make good shoes for lifting or movement workouts and have used them a little for both. They grip extremely well, in loose soil, smooth floors, wet concrete, and everywhere else I've gone with them. They tie up ok (a little wrinkly towards the toebox), and seem durable with no separations at the glued seams, or things pulling out of the canvas. I'm somewhere between 50 and 100 miles into them, including a bit of running, calisthenics, and a trail walk, but mostly just getting around town and travelling. They've done well in all of these, though I noted that they performed least well on the trail, where they are a bit too stiff but also lack sufficient tread for uneven/natural terrain (the slightly harder sole makes it difficult to wrap your toes/feet around rocks and roots like a more barefoot style would let you, but they lack sufficient tread to grip rock and root like a proper hiking shoe/boot.) I was pleasantly surprised with how grippy the soles are. I've walked across a marble floor on rainy days that I've known to be slippery and found the traction to be extreme (like new gummy soles). And yet, they gave minimal chirping and no squeaking, unlike most grippy shoes. It was comparable to a good pair of basketball shoes. Their biggest problem so far is that they don't clean up well. Having gotten some mud on them, I found that a couple of attempts at hand washing with soapy water was insufficient. They are still faintly dingy now, a subtle difference from their initial pure black look. I've now sprayed them with a waterproofing coat, which should help reduce how heavily it stains in the future (and also give slight protection for puddle season, though I still wouldn't trust them to keep your feet dry in a proper rain.) I purchased these perceiving them as budget barefoots, but think they hold up to the high dollar contenders. Pleasantly surprised and am ordering another pair. They've served well and I'd be surprised if they failed before 2025, but wouldn't feel put out if they did.

best shoes I've ever worn because of the wide box + thin sole + flexible sole. If only there was one with a wider toe box I could buy.

All describing words I used in the title apply. These shoes are amazing. I took them to Red Rock in the Mojave and they held up with no problem (or scuffing, even!) to my cuckoo self clambering over rocks and jumping off of boulders. Quick dust busting (I used compressed air but you could definitely use a dust feather or small vacuum) later and they were very much the original black color. Grip is amazing (and pleasantly squeaky on the concrete floors at Home Depot). Fit is like a sock. *Important* The thin insoles they come with really really really help the adjustment period from full cushion to zero drop cushionlessness. I kept mine in and my feet feel so much stronger already. Highly recommend a waterproofing spray but I just took a plain paraffin wax candle and rubbed it all over the upper. After the whole upper was sufficiently waxed (removing the laces really helps!), the color was white from the wax. I took a hair dryer, turned it on high heat, and warmed the shoes with it. The wax melted and it's a very solid natural long lasting waterproofing finish. Highly recommend these. Update: One little thing I really don't like is they're not as wide as I would like barefoot shoes to be. My feet are supposed to have more room to spread out but the shoes are 'normal' width. Keep this in mind. No other problems.

I bought these a couple years ago and they were the most comfortable shoes I've ever owned. This new design has the opening (after tied) smaller so if you are wearing them with no show socks the tongue (which is also stiffer) pushes at your skin too much making them a bit uncomfortable. The sizing does not match the old design either. I had to order them twice to get the correct fit. Also, the soles are not as bendable. They look nicer though. I'd rather they had kept the old design overall if they were going to compromise in comfort.

I love the Whitin brand! I wear a size 11 or 11.5 in women’s and ordered a men’s 9.5 and they fit great! I have really wide feet with bunions and these don’t hurt my feet. They are a bit stiff at first but I think they will get broken in just fine like any other shoe. I have had my other pair for over a year and have loved them and they have held up really well. If you aren’t used to barefoot shoes if you were then all the time at first your legs and feet might hurt because your muscles aren’t used to the barefoot style. (Mine hurt and were sore a lot at first and now I can wear them all day!) I have read that for a smoother transition to start only wearing them 10% of the time and then slowly increasing as your body tolerance goes up. Just saying don’t give up if your legs and feet hurt when you start out!

Son anchos y cómodos para mis dedos, util para cualquier tipo de camino. Suela muy suave. Lo único que no me agrada es que por su material es un zapato que huele mal y hace que huela mal tu pie. Lo solucione con talco para zapatos.

Recomendables, la talla es justo lo que se menciona, el paquete llegó bien, los materiales son buenos y aunque estéticamente son “curiosos”, la verdad hacen que tu pie se sienta muy cómodo

The shoe is excellent specially for wide feet. The seller is also excellent, kind and suportive.

I love these shoes, they look cool and are comfortable. Nice and wide, barefoot feel. They last long too, and I'm hard on them, walking a lot. I like this brand better than Xero Shoes who lie about waterproof winter boots which left my feet freezing in Canadian snow and ice. No animal harm involved int he manufacturing either. They wash well and look brand new.

Me gustaron mucho y de muy buena calidad por desgracia no fueron de número, ordenare otro par.
