There is no angle. They are designed to support a more natural running gait and discourage heel striking. **Q: I am used to Vibrams, but this year their sizes all run small, so my size 9 foot would be a size 10 shoe. So this is size 8?** A: I bought size 10, same as my foot size. Some shoes I need to buy 10.5. But for this I kept the same size(10) and fits perfect. **Q: I wear a 10.5 men but there's no selection** A: I bought a size 10 due to this comment even though my feet are 10.5. The shoes did not fit me with any space around the toes. I would recommend getting size 11 despite this comment. **Q: Is the sole hard enough to trail run? I’m looking for a cheap vibram sole alternative.** A: If you’re talking about over rocks, the sole will probably be too flexible for running. Dirt trails and boulders should be just fine. The sole is just really flexible so you’d have to take terrain into account. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Used and abused by yours truly *by on Reviewed in the United States June 14, 2023* I'll try to make this quickI got these shoes to see how I'd feel about the barefoot feelingAnd they feel great. I wear them all the time, inside and out.I will say, I'm an 8.5, and ordered such, and these are a tiny bit too big on me in terms of length. But they do feel rather small in terms of the size of the toe box. They feel very similar to my New Balance trail running shoes in the toe area.2.5 hour hiking trips really helped my feet get used to these shoesAlthough, if you are unable to walk a lot on dirt with these shoes to start off. TAKE IT SLOW. Do not injure your self by transitioning too fast. I'm able to walk just fine on any surface for extended periods at this pointI have been heavily slowed down when I wear these on the coast on my hikes because of how rocky it is, the rocks do hurt my feet some. Although it is getting better and better with the more my feet grow strongerThese shoes are incredibly grippy. The only time it isn't grippy for me is when I'm inside and the tile floor is wet. But wet rocks, logs, dirt, mud, all of those I feel more confident walking on and in with these shoes than my New Balance trail running shoes that cost me $140.I have noticed a better and more responsive connection to whatever I'm doing when I'm wearing these compared to my other shoes. In a very good way it makes me want to jump on things more, and just explore more. It could just be placebo, I have no idea. But it is there for me. I have noticed my legs get stronger than they already are(I bike a lot, so I have strong legs), especially with balance and the ability to go onto my knees from a standing position.If you want to get into barefoot shoes for a good price, this is a good option. If you get the white shoes. They are blindingly bright when you first get them. Once mine got a little dirty, I liked them a lot more. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Comfy and durable *by on Reviewed in the United States August 16, 2026* I'm not someone that writes reviews frequently but I'm going on three years of heavy usage on these shoes. they are by far my favorites. Easy to slip on and comfy to wear. No trails or rough terrain just even paved ground usage, regardless for a pair of shoes i paid less than 40 bucks and lasted this long, I got my money's worth. Getting ready to replace them at some point, they're still holding on. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great for back, but beware goat heads and shin pain *by on Reviewed in the United States December 7, 2024* If you're getting a zero drop sole shoe, then these are great. The fabric is a bit elastic which helps make the shoes feel comfortable immediately out of the box. I paired them with some elastic shoe laces and they make a great slip on.They are quiet, fit right but offer no arch support.Simple warnings if you have never had barefoot shoes, the lack of cushion is, at first, very hard on your shins. You will go around a month with shin pain as your body adapts to the change. The pain is never unbearable, but it's a bone pain which is definitely unpleasant. Due to this, don't give up. The temporary shin pain is worth the eventually lack of back pain and strain. While not a perfect solution to lower back pains, the benefits of barefoot shoes and zero drop soles are very real ib my experience and have relieved years of back pain.The next part, specific to this shoe is that the sole is thin. This is intentional but something you may not realize is that it is just thin enough for longer goat heads to penetrate the sole and prick your foot. This came as a shock to me the first time I got soles these thin. If you live in an area where goat heads grow then you may want to look into some sort of sole insert that is puncture resistant. Many are sold for construction workers for protection and they are around $15-35. You are easily able to remove the included insole and replace it and I'd recommend it if you may find yourself walking in goat heads or other such spikes.While you may debate whether or not you should try barefoot shoes and zero drop soles, if you find yourself wanting to try them out then I'd recommend these ones. Good for work, good for walking and worth the money.Edit: I have gone through my first pair. It lasted just over a year, like a month passed a year. The material in the sple finally wore through. The entire construction held up though, the only failure was the thin sole which is it's defining feature. I have no issue with the longevity, and bought a second pair. ## Frequently Bought Together - WHITIN Men's Barefoot Running Shoes | Minimalist Cross-Trainer | Zero Drop Sole - WHITIN Men's Zero Drop Running Shoes + Wide Toe Box - WHITIN Men's Barefoot Trail-Running Shoes | Wide Toe-Box | Zero-Drop Sole | Optimal Traction --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - πŸ›’ **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** β€” Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** β€” Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - πŸ’° **No Hidden Fees** β€” All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - πŸ”„ **15-Day Free Returns** β€” Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - πŸ”’ **Secure Payments** β€” Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** β€” Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.jp/products/231723516-whitin-mens-barefoot-shoes-minimalist-cross-trainer-w63](https://www.desertcart.jp/products/231723516-whitin-mens-barefoot-shoes-minimalist-cross-trainer-w63) --- *Product available on Desertcart Japan* *Store origin: JP* *Last updated: 2026-10-27*
