  • Cheap, good, roomy-toebox shoe for athletics and everyday wear
Size: 12 Color: Black
As comfortable as my old Altra Lone Peaks, one-fourth the price, as well as hopefully an unchanging model for years to come. Replaced my old (depleted) stock of New Balance Minimus 10v1 — the shoes aren't directly comparable, but as someone with a strong preference for those now-discontinued runners, these sufficed. Ran a half-marathon on a forest trail with no training in months and no break-in time for the shoes. No blisters. Lack of cushioning means the rocks and roots are noticeable, but I prefer that (teaches mindfulness about where to land the foot). Have since also used for yard work, basketball, walks, and everyday wear. Not exceedingly stylish, but neither am I. Too soon to speak to durability, but the price point and performance have me unworried as long as I can get six months of heavy use on asphalt, concrete, dirt, and grass. The velcro is nice, especially for running. Easier to get a perfect fit without too much pressure on the top bones of my feet. Will probably stockpile half a dozen pairs once this pair proves to last six months at my activity level and environment. Update six months in: Have held up ~250 miles trail running; uncounted miles on asphalt and grass; heavy sprinting, jumping, cutting on concrete while playing basketball; and weightlifting. Never had any issues, even though the size is slightly bigger than I may need — no sliding inside, yet also very low pressure applied to top of foot. No odor, but I wear an athletic wool blend sock which I credit for that. Beginning to see wear on the sole under the heel, as I do with all my minimalist shoes. Overall I'd say this sole has exceeded my expectations for durability given my time and motions on concrete and asphalt. Will purchase more. Hope build quality is consistent. Update at 9 months: Ordering a second pair. Will update later as to whether build is similar between what should be identical items. If consistent, I'll probably buy a half-dozen because this shoe meets my expectations for a good shoe at an excellent price. Update at 16 months: Insoles of first pair degraded and left a yellow gunk that attached all-too-readily to my polyester-wool socks. Whitin sells replacement insoles but these are not the same type or feel as the originals. Have not found a good insole replacement to replicate exact feel. External sole on first pair is fine after much use. Second pair was approximately of the same build and quality of first pair. Lately have used second pair at 25% incline, 2-3mph on treadmill, or 15% incline up to 5mph. That's a new use case, just as serviceable. The top bones of my feet remain finicky with minimal pressure, so the velcro is still much appreciated to reduce pressure. If I can find a suitable insole replacement (many fine brands, styles exist; but I want the precise match), then I will buy a third pair or more. ... show more

  • It feels like walking barefoot in my new shoes. It feels like walking barefoot in my new shoes.
Size: 12.5 Color: Black/Red
This is the first time purchasing this type of shoes. I was impressed with the design of the shoes and the quality. They look great on my feet and fit like a glove on my feet. They are light and I’m happy with the wide toe box. I can hardly wait to go on my first hike in them. The price was right too. I will recommend them to my friends. ... show more

  • Excellent shoes at the $30-$40 price range
Love these shoes for the price point. I can always find someone to pick about with shoes, so don't let the minus 1 start fool you I picked up my 1st pair of Whitin's just over a year ago and I still wear them. Just before that I started with another even cheaper version from another manufacturer. For the price point, I didn't know if you can get better, but yes you can get better. Pros: • durable enough to wear daily for a year+ and not wear out • inexpensive • very comfortable • true to size • all the normal barefoot benefits Cons: • they come with a minimally raised heel insole, hence not true zero drop, but close. Regardless, I prefer thinner and zero drop, so I take them out and put in a cheap pair of cotton or other barefoot style insole. I really wish they would come up with a version with thinner zero drop insoles, as it would probably save them and me money. • I'd love to see a puncture proof sole. I've never puncture these yet, but I am confident they're not puncture proof. • I would love it if they improved the inner lining beneath the insole. I often would just like to have no insole at all, but the stitching and materials inside, while useable, are clearly not intended for this purpose, leaving room for improvement. All in all, I would and have recommended these to many. For this price, you should say least try out barefoot shoes, and the "beginner insoles" they come with might be a pro for you if you're new to this style. I've purchased 4 total now, when I find them on sale for even better price points, 1 for my wife 1 for keeping a clean pair, and for when I wear out my original pair. I will buy again, but I also may look for an upgrade to these if they don't have newer options when my next time for replacement comes. ... show more

  • My Favorite Shoes
Size: 8.5 Color: Black
I'm a woman with exactly a 10" foot, and the 42 fits me perfectly. I have been wearing these shoes for a year now, and they are still in fantastic condition. No holes, no rips. And trust me, I give shoes a run for their life. I've hiked through the woods on rough terrain and walked concrete and gravel paths for at least 200 miles in these shoes. The sole is still intact; the Velcro hasn't lost a bit of its grab. They're also very breathable, preventing my feet from sweating. I love the grip they give when I'm climbing steep inclines and appreciate that the tread curves up the toes because it has protected them from being stubbed on numerous occasions. Just recently, I was crossing a dried up creek, and thought a log was a safe stepping stone. The log sank into the last of the creek bed water, dunking my entire shoe. I thought my socks were a goner, but I surprisingly didn't feel a drop of wetness. I completed my hike and when I arrived home and took off my shoe, it was completely dry, and so was my sock. I was shocked! That's not to say that these are waterproof, though. I have worn them in the rain, and it made my socks damp. Prolonged water exposure will get through, but apparently a quick submersion is easy work for these shoes. I did mention that I wear socks with these. I go back and forth between wearing them barefoot or while wearing toe socks. If I'm running to the store, I'll simply slip them on, but if I'm hiking, the socks are going on. That's why I prefer size 42. It gives me a small amount of space between the tops of my toes and the end of the shoe so my feet don't rub and cause blisters. I have very sensitive skin and can easily rub blisters but have not experienced that at all with these shoes -- that's why the right size and fit matters. I originally bought a size 41 but gave that one to my son. Even though it fit me perfectly... it was too perfect and I felt shifting in areas that may cause uncomfortable rubbing. So if you put yours on and it hugs your toes too much, size up. Your toes will thank you. Overall, I love these barefoot shoes, and when I eventually wear them out, I'll include it in this review. They better never stop making these because I will be coming back for more! ... show more

  • Great Athletic Shoe

These shoes are very comfortable and the quality is great. I use them for outdoor volleyball and running/trailing. They're very light weight and make my sprints feel swift and easy. Love the subtle design and wide toe box. Great athletic shoe.

  • Good shoe I recommend but not perfect Good shoe I recommend but not perfect
Size: 11 Color: Black
Trucker review Waited a few days to write this. First I got these because I wear crocks while I work. And it’s becoming increasingly unpopular to wear flip flops and crocks when your truck because it’s associated with the worst drivers out there. So I got this middle ground between my Nike air max and crocks. It’s really does fit in between. A little on the warm side they don’t breathe as well as I hoped. No stinky feet though when you take them off. Great driving shoe , good grip you can feel the pedals. Lots of tractions getting in and out of the truck. It’s dangerous and high. Walking. Is where I have a problem. On cement and asphalt fine. You feel the road beneath you the balls of my feet hurt a little even though I’m just walking 100 feet at a time. On rocks heck no. It hits like you’re barefoot. Watch your step. The insoles are already dirty I shower daily but chose to not wear socks because I was looking for something more slipper like. I’d say medium to medium high quality they slip On easy no need to tie laces the Velcro strap is the only weakness so far comes off as you walk. But you don’t really need it the shoe is like a sock the picture is what happened when you take your foot out. You need to fix them each time. Weeks later update The yellow insoles are filthy they seem to suck dirt in. I wonder if they sell them here. Feet jurt after a while. Imagine parking at a big Walmart go all the way across and back. My feet hurt. Driving small moves super comfortable. ... show more

  • Look Weird - Feel Awesome - Practically Free Look Weird - Feel Awesome - Practically Free
Size: 11 Color: Grey Gum
Let me start by saying that, in my opinion, these shoes do not look any better in person. The "knobs" on the toes, the shiny nubs on the super-wide toe box, and the way too long, but not trimmable laces all contribute to an awkward look. Nonetheless, I am not into regular shoelaces and usually replace them with lock laces, so I appreciate that I did not have to replace these laces, and the Velcro straps do make for easy on and off. In terms of comfort, I am finding these shoes to be addictively comfortable. I have been using them at the gym for inclined treadmill walks and especially for leg days. I am a solid size 11 in almost all shoes, with a medium-to-slightly wide foot. These shoes are very comfortable, and the wide toe box makes my 11W NB Minimus TR V2 shoes feel a bit narrow. Not sure how they will hold up over the long term, but for $40, they're practically free. UPDATE (9June 2026): It's only been a month, but I just returned from a weekend in Harper's Ferry, WV. The weekend included lots of walking up and down hills, hiking on trails, and a 3-hour zipline canopy tour. These Whitins were the only shoes I brought with me, and they were awesome. I was shocked by how good they felt, and by how good my feet and legs felt when the weekend was over. I am hooked; in fact, I already bought another pair of barefoot Whitins (pictured in black, similar but not as "stylie"). ... show more

Absolutely amazing shoe. They are extremely comfortable and form fitting. It actually feels like you are wearing a glove on your foot. I have purchased these shoes at least six times. Not because they fall apart but because I’m really hard on them and I like my shoes looking new. That said I would really like the company to provide me with a way to purchase new soul inserts. ... show more
