WHITIN Women's Barefoot Shoes Wide Toe Box Minimalist Sneakers W872

I bought the WHITIN Women's Wide Toe Box Minimalist Barefoot Sneakers, and I'm absolutely thrilled with them! The wide width provides an incredibly comfortable fit, making them perfect for my vacation. I really appreciate that they don't hurt my feet, which is a must for me. It’s lightweight and flexible and ease to put on . Not only are they comfortable, but they also look great! They pair well with a variety of outfits, adding versatility to my wardrobe. For the quality and comfort, they offer excellent value for money. I will definitely be ordering again.

Cute, lightweight shoe with wide toe box. Buy a half size bigger. They run short. Very nice. Long laces. Packaged well. Good breathability. Nice versatility. Probably good for cement walking performance- not a trail shoe.

Love them! But they run pretty small. Had to return the first pair I bought and size up. But I love them - cute, comfortable, nice and wide - and the color is great!

I love these. I'm on my feet all day (teacher) and was really struggling with foot pain particularly in my arch. At first I thought I needed arch support and attempted that, but it didn't fix the problem. After consulting with my brother (big into how shoes impact the whole body) I bought these. I chose WHITEN because they are reasonably priced and a good way to start trying out the barefoot shoe experience. The wide toe box is also great. Within a week of wearing these my feet didn't hurt. I could walk for miles and my feet would feel tired, but never painful. My calves also evened out--all these years I just thought my calves were a little narrower on the inside than the outside. Nope, turns out I was walking wrong because of the shoes I was wearing. They're lightweight, the grip is decent but nothing special. They are very flexible to the foot, but my feet also feel protected while I'm walking. There is no arch support, but that's sort of the point. Because of the lack of arch support, my feet actually feel better. I wear these every chance I get. I wear them with dress pants, jeans, shorts, any time I go out except for formal events. The next step is finding a more formal shoe from the same brand so my feet can be happy all the time.

The shoe is nice enough for its price point. It is not uncomfortable, but it’s not a true barefoot shoe either I’ve been using Xero brand for a couple years and wanted a pair of white shoes to go with some outfits on a trip I’m going on and didn’t want to spend the money on Xero for a color shoe I wouldn’t normally wear. Exterior looks nice, good wide toe box. Material was a little off white, which I liked. The cloth material seemed ok and breathable/soft. The sole was not very flexible like a barefoot shoe should be, it was kind of hard actually making the shoe heavier. There is some sort of arch support in the shoe and a very mild lift (not big, but not zero.) I took the shoe inserts out to see if that fixed the arch support problem, it did not. The shoe itself has some sort of mild arch support, which I cannot wear because they hurt my feet. If that is not something that bothers you, it might be fine. Size: I typically wear an 8-8.5, I ordered a 9 and that was a good size, so definitely go up .5-1 size. I’ll be returning them because the arch support is problematic for me and just getting a Xero shoe.

This is my third pair of Whitin zero-drop shoes I ordered: white and beige lace-ups and now these black ones. They are well made. As with other shoes like this: be aware there is NO padding on the bottom and only very minimal arch support. I like these features but they might be deal-breakers for some. The heel cup has a just a bit of padding that helps the heel mold to the foot and I like this as well. I recommend up-sizing if you want to wear thick socks with these. Around the house I wear thin or "medium" socks with these and they fit well. Very occasionally (now that we are in deep winter here) I wish I had a slightly larger size to wear with heavy fuzzy socks. YMMV Traction? More than sufficient for indoor and moderate outdoor use. Personally I wouldn't wear these particular shoes for all-day trekking, but you do you. Just a heads-up for those of you new to zero-drop shoes: there's a "learning curve" to wearing them. Our feet are accustomed to some sort of lift (half an inch-full inch) under the heel when wearing normally-crafted shoes, and our calves, thighs, hips, and back move out of alignment to accommodate this lift. There is absolutely NO lift when wearing this type of shoe. It's truly like being bare footed; after a while your entire body will shift back to a more natural state when wearing zero drops.

They fit great! I decided to try these as my Xero shoes don't last very long for the price. I was surprised at how comfortable, roomy, with just the right sole thickness. I wear them for errands, work and church. I did black out the tag with a Sharpie. They are holding up so well which is amazing considering the price! I really want to try the mary janes but they sadly don't have them in size 11. I may try the 10.5 because they have such great measurements listed and great options with insoles. Will definitely buy again!.

Size chart is a bit deceptive. My longest foot is 24.2cm, roughly converting to 9.53inches long. The size chart (the photo in the product description, not the Amazon size chart) says an 8 wide is about 10inches long. I thought, about half an inch of space is good. But the 10inches is only accurate when you press down the cupping on the insole. If you measure the insole front to back without including the raised edges that cup your feet, the length of the shoe is no longer 10inches.....so you need to size up. I ordered a 9, but I'm irritated I have to go through the return process because this aspect isn't clear on the size chart. Also always worried to order 9s because they're usually too big. See the photo for how little space in front of my toes there is when I stand on the insoles. I also felt my midfoot was hanging over the insole as if the shoe isn't wide enough in that area, but the size is 8 Wide. I'm starting to understand that Whitin has wide TOE shoes that are standard width everywhere else, and WIDE shoes which also have wide toes, but I thought the way to differentiate was if the sizes on the listing say WIDE. I have a feeling this shoe can't actually be their widest insole....hm. Wish they did it so that every shoe that had 2 widths was on one listing, because it's very confusing. The shape was pretty good in the toes. If you have hammertoes they may feel a little pressure with the shoe, but I think that could alleviate as the knit conforms to your foot. We will see how much more volume and width the size 9 wides have. I'll try to update once the 9s arrive. Update. The insole moved around as I tried on the 9s just after a few minutes. The material is stiff and uncomfortable and the toe spring is ridiculous. I returned both sizes. [Also a fair warning that if you order from this seller or Amazon in general for shoes then you'll likely get a dirty used pair and be forced to return to exchange. This will keep happening until you give up, because Amazon (and apparently Whitin) have no quality control system and will keep sending dirty items. (This happened with another pair I just received.) They will not refund you in any capacity for sending you a used item if you decide you don't want to bother with yet ANOTHER return and exchange.]

My actual size according to sellers page would be a size 7 or 7.5. I bought an 8 because I have hammertoes and a bunion. The width is great and for the first time I can actually spread my toes out. The size 8 has given me a bit more leeway in the height of the toebox so there is no pressure on the tops of my toes. I have never had such comfortable shoes. Bought my daughter a pair in size 7 and she loves them. I tried them on and am glad I got the larger size as the 7 was to tight for my hammertoes. Will definitely get more Whitin shoes in the future. Love the zero drop as well and feel more balanced in them. Great shoes.

Love these shoes,very comfy,room for your toes to spread.would definitely buy again

Well made shoe, but fits small

These are super comfortable right out of the box. Great quality.

Amazing barefoot style shoe! Extra wide toe box and very comfortable fit. Great quality for the price too! Highly recommend
