Great barefoot shoes at a great price

I love these shoes because they are simple, comfortable, and have a nice design at a great price. They have become my go-to shoes for long days at work and walks, although they are not suitable for outdoors or running because the sole is quite thin. However, they are perfect for walking on hard surfaces and for the gym. I also love the one-piece knitted fabric. I ended up buying a second pair in a different color because I love them so much.

Pros
  • Exactly as advertised perfect for my Physical Therapy sessions
Cons
  • The lack of arch support may not provide enough stability for those with high arches

Not as minimalist as my older pair of WHITIN shoes

I had to send these back because the soles were too thick and the top of the shoe was pinching my foot. I have two pairs of WHITIN shoes that I bought almost two years ago and they are great. I thought I'd get a new pair, but the new pair didn't fit as well and they have thicker soles. I don't recommend these shoes.

Pros
  • Rubber sole
Cons
  • The shoes may not be as durable as other options on the market

The great reviews aren’t even for this shoe but a slipper!

I was looking for a wide toe box shoe and these were affordable. The reviews were above 4 stars, so I bought the shoes without reading the reviews. Mistake on my part. They are already falling apart in just a few weeks time. If you have a taller instep, these shoes will rub the tops of your feet and irate them. But the stitching is falling apart where you put your foot into the shoe, especially around the heel. Very frustrating. Lesson learned: read the reviews and not just look at stars.

Pros
  • 1.97 x 1.97 x 1.97 inches; 3.53 Ounces
Cons
  • The wide design may cause discomfort for individuals with extra-sensitive feet

Barefoot for less: my feedback

I have 3 pairs of Xeros, 3 pairs of the old New Balance Minimus and more pairs of Vibrams than I can recall, and these feel equivalent but are literally 1/2-1/3 of the price.I took the insole out for closer ground feel. Absolutely worth while if you want a casual barefoot shoe.

Pros
  • Athletic
Cons
  • The shoes may not provide enough insulation during colder weather

Best shoes I've ever owned

I hate almost every pair of shoes I own. Even wide widths are never wide enough and my toes are always squished in the most painful position. Normally if I'm home I have a pair of flip flops on just so my toes have room to wiggle. I purchased a different pair of shoes from this brand, which were advertised as having an extra wide toe box. Sign me up! Those shoes didn't end up working out, so I purchased these instead. I know they're meant to be barefoot shoes, but my feet need a bit more arch…

Pros
  • B0BTHR4W3L
Cons
  • The wide design may not fit well with certain styles of pants or shorts

Wish I had tried these before.

These shoes feel great, toes have space to move.Sole is very flexible & comfortable, not too thin making them ideal first minimalist shoe.

Pros
  • Excellent fit and comfort for the price
Cons
  • The wide fit may not accommodate individuals with narrow feet

Never experienced this before

Got these in wide and one half size larger than I wear in Chuck Taylors, for example, because the 12 was right there at the tips of some toes. Took out the insole for even more free volume and it seems like they have some little bit of padding built in without them. Barefoot might be the only thing more perfect - these are pretty great.Oh and as far as barefoot shoes, my feet are getting stronger and my balance is getting better by the day.

Pros
  • Non-elevated,zero drop sole for natural posture and agility.
Cons
  • The minimal design may not be suitable for certain types of workouts

Best and cheapest barefoot shoe this far

I like them for everyday wear and training. Going to buy everystyle with this sole and toe box 10 out of 10! That's my review.

Pros
  • Minimalist style with breathable knit upper.
Cons
  • The wide design may not be suitable for individuals with foot or ankle injuries

No different than Nike for wide feet.

I was so psyched to get my first pair of "wide" Casual Barefoot Sneakers. Until I actually got them, that is. I could tell immediately they were no different in width than a pair of Nikes, which are notoriously made for skinny-arsed feet of men with feet like women.They were crazy tight upon trying them on. My feet pushed the material out beyond the soles in what is supposed to be a 'wide' toe box. Sure, wide if you're a 5' 2" woman in size 6 shoes, maybe.I followed the instructions; measured…

Pros
  • I like the fit. Using for working out, everyday, and in place of slippers
Cons
  • Can’t figure out how to return

New experience for my opinion

I purchased these to test transitioning to zero drop shoes. The price point is good for introducing myself. They are pretty comfortable. I did wear them for an 8 hour shift. I will probably get another pair at some point

Pros
  • Wide toe box grant your toes some much-needed freedom.
Cons
  • The lack of structure may not be suitable for individuals who require more stability in their shoes

Dont expect these to last forever. My previous Whitins, lasted around a year before coming apart, failing seems or torn fabric. However, more expensive barefoot shoes (Xero) have only lasted me a few months longer.

Pros
  • Good
Cons
  • They may not provide enough support for individuals with foot or leg issues

Weird smell at first but worth.

It has a weird rubbery smell when you first take it out of the box. Fit as expected, I bought the wide design. The shoe is pretty tough on your feet if you have plantar fasciitis or if you work long shifts. I usually add a layer of memory foam when I wear these to work because my feet start to hurt after 6 hours. The foot is pretty comfy otherwise. A lot of room to move your toes. Would recommend.

Pros
  • Thin flexible,non-slip rubber sole for extraordinary barefoot feeling.
Cons
  • The lack of padding may cause discomfort during extended wear

Minimal cushion on my review.

Walked 14000 steps. They have minimal cushion, I felt the road extremely hard even though I added my own cushions. If u have any foot problem I won’t recommend them. If you want to buy a pair good cushions, then the price is too high, u might as well buy a good pair shoes with cushion.

Pros
  • I love them. And they are priced right.
Cons
  • The flat sole may not be suitable for activities that require more traction

Great For Long Days On Your Feet

I work on my feet all day, on a tile floor. I tried multiple styles of shoes with different soles and gel/memory foam padding options. Nothing worked and I would go home every day with sore ankles, knees, and hips. After a week of wearing these shoes, the aches in my joints are completely gone.I usually wear 11.5 but, went with 11. 11 was a perfect fit. After a day of use, the insole started to move and bunch up. I took the insole out and, like the feel even better.

Pros
  • Removable sockliner (insole) if you want a "more barefoot" feeling.
Cons
  • The zero-drop sole may cause discomfort for those not used to minimalist footwear

Good shoes best in my review

I bought these for my boyfriend he enjoys them. They don’t have a lot of support so if you’re flat footed they’re great. Overall a good purchase.

Pros
  • Clothing, Shoes & Jewelry
Cons
  • The shoes may not fit true to size, requiring extra time and effort to find the right fit

More comfortable than expected

I've been wearing these shoes daily. Overall they're more comfortable than I expected I do find that I "slap" my foot down at times. Overall I think I'm beginning to learn to step lighter as well which is interesting. I would definitely buy these shoes again You're pretty comfortable. I really like how wide they are it feels good to my feet. I've been thinking about purchasing a second pair.

Pros
  • Love the comfort and fit of the shoe
Cons
  • The all-white design may be difficult to keep clean

Best gym shoes good for me

Bought these to try and find new basic / minimalist feel flat gym shoes. The best pair of gym shoes I’ve ever had. Insanely comfortable. Build quality is far better than I expected for $40. I’ve always been a vans classic or converse Chuck Taylor’s fan but not anymore especially when you can’t find them cheap anymore. Won’t be going back to them

Pros
  • Shoes
Cons
  • The lack of cushioning may not be suitable for individuals with a heavier step
