WHITINMen's Barefoot Running Shoes | Minimalist Cross-Trainer | Zero Drop Sole

I'm incredibly happy with my WHITIN Men's Barefoot Running Shoes! These minimalist cross-trainers offer a fantastic barefoot feel that's perfect for everyday wear and workouts. The wide toe box allows for natural toe splay, and the zero-drop sole promotes a really stable and connected feel to the ground. They're easy to put on and durable for the price, and the grip is solid for various exercises. Highly recommend for anyone looking for a versatile minimalist training shoe!

Love these shoes! Minimalistic and comfortable. I’ve had them since 2023 and have held up quite well. The insert is basic so I had to beef it up a bit with a thicker one. Otherwise, great shoes that go with a lot of outfits. Breathable and well-made. I’d gotten several compliments and I’d buy another pair in a heartbeat. For reference, I bought the brown pair.

UPDATE:It is only the white pair which seems to be more narrow in my collection. I added a photo of the gray ones.Original:I ordered these some time ago. I loved them so much a year later I bought a few more. Unfortunately, they changed the design. They are not as wide as before, so they do noticeably feel more narrow. Also, the heel feels like there is more support. This good and bad. It does cup the heel better. I believe that was an issue for some people. In the same breath, there appears to be more between you and the ground. Aesthetically, they look better, but I believe they might have moved backwards and regressed on some of reasons people buy minimalist shoes. It appears to be more for looks and be competitive. I will wear them for some time and see if these changes affects the expected benefits.

I never bought shoes online before and because of Amazon’s service and the way these fit I am convinced that buying shoes online is a good thing. What I like about them is the snug fit but freedom to my feet. i tied them and am fully able to slip them off and on easily. For me these are very comfortable.

For the price it's a good barefoot shoe - BUT it lacks appropriate support/lacing/ hold around the heel.I've been using this shoe for a bit over a week for various crossfit exercises and it performed well - until we did sled pushes. My heel slipped out of the shoe almost immediately - weight I was able to move in the past with other shoes (Xero HFS II, Inov-8 235, Merrell) I could not move with these due to slippage.All other crossfit related workouts were no problem, even weighted runs, but I would not call this a trail running shoe - anything with a moderate incline and you'll run the risk of losing the shoe.

So let me tell you a little something about how amazing these really are. I was under performing as a delivery driver for Amazon because I was wearing boots everyday not figureing out why dashing and running to deliver packages wasn't doing anything but hurting my ankles and feet every day which was causing me to be slower but when I ordered these shoes it saved not only my feet and angles from being injured but it also saved my job these shoes are Phenomenal they are super super light feel like you have nothing on at all almost like your barefoot. These are great whenever there isn't rain beacause they can be easily soaked since they are very very breathable which i found out to late but i got them to dry out when i got home they aren't slip resistant as much as i wish so becareful but hey they help me get the job done and that's all I ask of them. I'd recommend this product to anyone who's feet hurt or ankle hurts in any athletic job 10/10 thinking about getting another pair hm.... maybe the all black pair next? 🤔😂

I love theses shoes. Bought for a 14 day trip in Central Europe (point is cobblestones) and they were great! I love how comfortable these are and they are my new favorite shoe. I’m buying another pair. Not very slip resistant- so be careful on slippery stones but other than that awesome.

Many inaccurate statements in other reviews (mostly the negative ones), so setting the record straight and providing an honest review. The hard part, of course, is that everyone has different opinions on shoes, the hardest thing to get a prevailing/standard opinion on.The incorrect stuff- there is no tongue; yes there is, it's just affixed all the way up the opening like a hunting boot- it has hard plastic shoelace inlets; no it doesn't, it's a soft fabric backed material a little stiffer than the main upper material- there is no padding in the foot; yes there is, but it is thinner than a tennis shoe, more than a leather dress shoe (higher quality ones). It doesn't have memory foam/gel, etc. like many tennis shoes do now.-they are narrow; this is a lot subjective in the reviews, no measurements, but IMHO, they are not wide, and not really advertised like that as I saw it a few days ago. They 'feel' a little tight/different, mostly because the middle section/eyelet material is stiffer than the main shoe material which is very soft and I assume breathable. This could create a 'ridge' you'd feel if laced tight. I generally get 'hot spots' around my ankles in hunting boots, this doesn't feel like that and once broken in (if they do break in) it shouldn't be noticeable.-no heel retention; I list this as a pro below, it actually cups my heel very well, better than most tennis shoes (what wears out first besides the sole) and dress shoes until they're broken inPros-price - got these on Prime day for $35 which if they last (just received today) is a good deal-main material - it is very soft, shouldn't create any rubbing but for the above perceptions for some, and durability is a question, we'll see-sole - I cannot see why this would be more slippery than any other 'tennis shoe' like bottom, if they get dirty or other slippery substance on them, they may be slippery - never had a pair that wasn't in that situation- heel portion, as above cups very nice and grabs and doesn't slip like most new shoes do at first (or all the time and wear out - at least for me)Cons-you can feel the sole through the cushion - is subjective, my BMI is harder so I feel more in my feet as far as uneven-medium width, not wide; I have wider feet, but I've had shoes too wide too - these are not 'tight' but feel a bit snug, but are also brand new, not sure how much they will 'break in'.-sizing - my feet measure 12 1/2, that's the option I picked, the sticker as you can see says 46 which is European Men's, Google AI says both a 46 is a 12 and a 45 is a 12 1/2, go figure. For me, if I stand up, my toe almost touches standing still, meaning it will rub. I put on my well broken retired tennis shoes and the distance is the same and do not hurt at all, so I assume these will be fine.I considered sending back because they do not feel 'soft and smooth all over' like some tennis shoes do ($100 Nike/etc.), but they are intended minimalist and some talk about benefits for plantar (it's not planter folks, that's for plants or peanuts :-),) fasciitis, which I have, so I'm going to keep and try them out. All the testing was done with low ride thin athletic socks.-
