WHITIN Men's Wide Canvas Barefoot & Minimalist Shoes | Zero Drop Sole

These are surprisingly well made, especially considering the price. The fabric on the outside is tough and the fabric inside is soft but seems very wear-resistant. The fit is perfect in the same size as my other shoes and boots. The wide toebox is comfortable without being loose.

These are the most simple, comfortable shoes I've ever owned. The shoes feel like a good balance between protecting my feet and feeling the ground beneath my feet. And the current price (~$30) is amazing. I am much happier with these than I have been with $100 minimalist shoes that I've bought in the past, and the price makes me feel like I can afford to really live in these shoes rather than being very careful to protect them. I am writing this review after buying a backup pair because I enjoy them so much. (I almost never review products or buy backup pairs of things. Who has the time or money?)

These shoes make my feet happy. They seem to be built well, nice heavy canvas. Hard to justify the cost of xero shoes when these are an option.

I am into my first month of this shoe. It is one of the first 2 types I am trying as I attempt to transition to the Zero-Lift/Drop style of shoe. I chose this brand for its good price (at the time, in the $30-40 range).YEAHS:***FIT > Fits my extra wide foot well. Company made it easier for me to determin which of their sizes I should try. That said, it took 3 tries to get the correct and most comfortable fit.***APPEARENCE > Looks nice. Obviously has a larger toe box ("DAH!" to all of those reviews of this type of shoe that failed to do your most basic research into what these shoes are like!), but it does not look "clown-like." Easy to get on and off. Easy to tie. Good feel of the ground with no insert, while using the insert (and loosening up my laces just a bit more) gives me the same relative feel + a little more cushion.***FEEL/FLEX > Feels nice. Very flexible and I feel the ground well with them as I walk.***WEIGHT > VERY lightweight; making my "normal" shoes feel like boots!NEAS:***NOISE > Yup - it squeeks if you slip it along certain floors!***APPEARENCE > If you do not adjust the tounge corretly, it looks "creased" on the top of the toe box.***DURABILITY > Not yet determined, but so far seems to be doing okay in the initial phases of wear (More to come on that later on).

I’ve been a fan of Whitin for a while now. Although the different models fit differently, some run narrow, some run big lengthwise, these are perfect once re-laced. True to size. Width is appropriate for a “barefoot” shoe. Toe box has plenty of room for the piggies. Zero drop. I didn’t measure but I would guess they are approximately 14-16 mm stack height. Adequately soft. I could wear these all day and have no issues. I’ve had them for almost a year, no signs of significant wear or tear, though I don’t wear them everyday all day. A solid shoe. Great price. I highly recommend if you are into minimalist shoes and want something casual looking.

I bought two pairs of shoes from this company, and both lasted about 7 months. Maybe $30.00 shoes are only supposed to last a few months. Unfortunately, the pair I have on now currently have a gapping hole in the bottom. Before purchasing these shoes, I'd really consider paying more for shoes that won't fall apart a short while after you leave a good review. You'll end up paying more every 7 months for these anyways.

I wear these every day at work and love them.

Love them
