WHITINMen's Trail Running Shoes Minimalist Barefoot 5 Five Fingers Wide Width Toe Box Gym Workout Fitness Low Zero Drop Male Yoga Zumba Comfortable Pilates Heel Black Size 13

Paired with toe socks, this lightweight hiking shoe provides wonderful stability and grip on trails with rocks, dust, roots, pebbles, mud, streams... At a third of the price of FiveFingers, these shoes are a stunning value. And very comfortable as well!While I had low expectations, I was blown away by how functional and comfortable these shoes are. The minimalist design is augmented by what appears to be a strange outline of your toes at the front end. Yet there is no conforming toe shape in the sole. So what gives? This unique design shines when you are hiking on a steep decline -- when you usually find your toes painfully jammed to the front wall of the toe box. Not with these! Your toes (if you are barefoot or wearing toe socks) find a comfortable spot in those little carveouts for your toesies! Genius!The soles provide both amazing grip on all manner of slippery terrain: dusty uphills, gravelly downhills, wet rocks in streams, muddy patches. As an avid hiker on a wide spectrum of trails for more than 50 years, I don't ever recall feeling so confident in my shoes/boots, or so comfortable. While these are very lightweight, the soles are tough. I could 'sense' roots and rocks and stones but had ZERO pain or discomfort traversing them.I have ordered more pairs and more versions of this shoe. I am eager to try more Whitin minimalist shoes with their wide toe boxes. There is a dizzying variety of Whitin shoes here. And the product descriptions are confusingly similar so differentiating them is a challenge. But! If you are a serious hiker, give these shoes a try! Expect your feet and body to thank you!

These are amazing. I have never been this much happy with my training shoes before. They are great for weight training but I haven't tried it yet for running.

These shoes have an excellent toe box. The toe shaped lugs look a bit strange in person.The little beads embedded in the fabric make it nearly impossible to waterproof with waxes.The sole and and the part that holds the laces on seem to be a single piece of plastic/rubber, which in practice, makes it much more durable than other minimalist shoes, even though the materials may be a bit cheap.The shoes will always have a bit of a plastic smell to them, but nothing noticeable from a few feet away.

the size is good for bare feet, if you want socks consider up sizing.sole feels thick enough to protect you from all but the sharpest rocks you might feel them.

I have a very picky brother-in-law that was a 1st Sgt in the Amy for over 37yrs his feet are everything to him and he absolutely loved these shoes!!! Comfort, fit & weight dynamic
