Review on WHITIN Men's Minimalist Barefoot Treadmill Sneakers by Ghostnote Azevedo

So got them today. The initial quality seems ok for the price. They had a slight chemical smell but that was ok. (I don't wear them on my nose after all lol) The only issue I had was with the size. 1) The seller sent the wrong size. Some reviews said they were big. This is with a caveat. (see below) I usually wear 11 sneakers and 10.5 dress shoes if they have a wider toe box. I ordered 9. They sent me 8/41.2) They are really big. Maybe a size 9 fit, but I can't say for sure as they sent me a size 8. But here's the thing: the sock is so big that a 9 might actually suffice. I suppose 10 would be closer to ideal without shoe modification. 3) Warning: The insole is thick but removable. So I removed the insole and now they fit really well. This is again due to the large toe box and also the stretchy material of the upper. I will be using them for guerrilla warfare so a slimmer fit would be better for me and a size 8 should fit. If I wanted to run in them I would choose 9 because my feet swell when I run. Note that this is all without an inset. If I wanted to work with an insert I would add another size and go to 10. Hope this helps and isn't too confusing!
