WHITINMen's Wide Minimalist Barefoot Sneakers | Zero Drop | Midfoot Stability

This is my first entry pair of wide toe box zero drop shoes. I just love the wide fit and wide toe box. I was wearing brooks ghost in wide. Still squished my toes. I am earning my way into these type of shoes. Will have to write another following review later.For those worried about fit from the AI generated review. What I did was as Goggle's Gemini how to measure for this shoe brand. After getting instructions and the following the chart from the vendor, I ordered 11 wide. In normal shoes I wear a 9.5 wide. When I received the shoes, I thought they were too big. After putting them on, I had the recommended 1/4-.5 inch toe room which feels great. The width for my forefoot area is perfect.After wearing them for a few hours today, I put on my usual TYR gym shoes and bit my feet felt cramped and tight. Definitely considering growing my collection of these shoes in different styles and then upgrading to other brands to feel the difference.If you’re thinking about switching from the “normal” we all have been taught, these are a great started. Just remember to measure your foot correctly. Old, normal shoe sizes might not work. Good luck!

After approximately 360k+ steps I can say I love these shoes and will never return to normal shoes.Sizing: I wear a size 9.5 in most standard shoes (this gave me about 3/4 of an inch of toe room. My go to’s prior were ON clouds and Adidas ultraboosts. I initially bought these in 9’s and felt that they were a tad too roomy so I downsized only to find they felt a little tight for comfort. Then I realized in the product listing the insole is intentionally removable so I removed it and found I had the perfect fit.Comfort: They are extremely comfortable you can feel how much they flex with your foot and how much more grip you get on the ground. The extra grip they give is great. The soles are thin so be prepared to feel the ground below your feet. The material seems pretty durable so far and very airy. They initially give a borderline uncomfortable amount of width for your feet but your feet quickly adapt.Quality: Not much to say. All the stitching is good. All glue seems to hold well. The rubber is flexible and shows no signs of tearing. The material itself seems good quality and is somewhat similar to what is used in ultraboosts but a little thicker and a little less elastic, but still just as breathable.Other notes: I got some elastic laces. I canning recommend this enough, the nature of the shoe makes it REALLY easy to slip on. Add some quality elastic laces and it just makes life so easy.Additionally, after wearing them for a weak I did have some muscle aches and pains but I managed to work through it and they dissipated after a week or so. Don’t push your body too hard initially. I’m in the work of physical therapy so I was able to manage my muscles a bit better than the average person likely would. After week two I suddenly regained the ability to spread my toes on command which I’ve never been able to do. I also have chronic back pain. I DO NOT recommend these if you have back pain BUT in my case they did help which I attribute to the fact that a flat shoe is less likely to put your low back into excess lordosis.Disclaimers : These are worth every penny but you should definitely transition slowly if you don’t often walk barefoot. Biomechanically speaking they place much greater stretch and strength demand on your calves so you should assess your calf strength. I’m also about 135lbs so they might wear slower for me than someone who weighs more.

I love these they have held up great and are the most comfortable barefoot shoe i own out of 3. Size wise i wear a 11-12 in mens usually. I ordered the 12 wide and they fit perfect. They are lightweight,durable and breathable. For being sock knit and breathable they are surprisingly water repellent. After wearing these and my lews primals for a long time i didnt have any issues but i didnt seem to get the barefoot benefits like toes spreading out and change in foot dimensions until i bout a pair of vivos. Overall still a great shoe at a great price and will be buying a second pair for outside house work.

Honestly, I love these. Probably one of the best pairs of shoes I’ve ever owned. Previously I bought a new pair of saucony’s. They had a huge heel and it made me walk funny. Then I switched to these and they just feel right. It took me a few days to get used to them tho. Also, I feel you still need a professionally made insole with these if you have flat feet. My insples come from the Saucony factory flagship store and they are amazing. So with a combination of the two im a happy man with happy feet.

These are my new favorite shoes. Essentially zero drop, the mesh is breathable and keeps my feet cool, and the tow box is very wide which I why I bought them. If you buy the white ones, be careful not to spill anything on them, it's really easy to get them stained.
