Review on WHITIN Men's Minimalist Barefoot Treadmill Sneakers by Dave Wheeler

Revainrating 5 out of 5

I don't think they will last very long and that's perfectly normal.

To be honest I don't think they will last very long and that's perfectly normal. Look, we have shoes that bend. This is intentional. It's like wearing shoes when walking barefoot. Many argue that this is a more natural way of walking. And it fits the bill. However, I'm not sure if the material will last very long. With bottoms from Vibram, you can spend over $100 for good bottoms that last. But. those are weird shoes. For those who love her, they really love her. For those who hate them, despise them. So paying $100 or more seems like a pretty expensive investment for something you might end up hating. There they come to the rescue. I wanted to try these shoes, but the barrier to entry was too high. Well $35 to answer that question what can I do. So I wear them for a bit and enjoy them. I suspect they will be ready in about 4-8 months and I won't be messing around. I will step up to the $100+ price point if I decide this is the style of shoe for me. If I decide it's not my style, these pieces effectively save me $65. Will I buy them again? Well, if they somehow keep me longer than 8 months, they probably will. Otherwise, they are like the "pattern” of this style of shoes, and they are worth answering the question of whether you want to delve into this style.

Pros
  • Few competitors
Cons
  • Something's wrong
