  • Great barefoot sneakers **Edited** Please read to the end
I purchased these in 8.5 white, and I am very happy. I usually fit in size 8 or 8.5, but, since I was buying these mostly for comfort, I went with the larger size. They are comfortable from the very first wear (which, in my case, was sockless, though they are extremely comfortable with socks, as well). The soles are very low profile, flexible, and grippy. This was important to me: I have rheumatoid arthritis -- including inflammation and reduced movement in my ankles -- so I tend to trip if I wear thick-soled shoes. I feel very grounded in these -- they even make me feel a little sprightly! When laced up, there is a surprising amount of arch support for such flat sneakers. Also, they are nicely cut around the back of the ankle: high enough to feel secure, but low enough that they don't dig in when I have bad inflammation. Finally, they are pretty cute: the white with rubber soles have a little retro-hipster flair and go with any casual outfit. The only possible downside is that they are canvas and (I expect) will get dirty and/or rip if I mistreat them, but I have had them for over a month now (wearing them almost every day, mostly on sidewalk), and they still look good. I'm returning to buy them in black, too! **EDITED** Okay, after months of happily wearing the white pair, I decided I needed them in black, as well. I am *very* disappointed because the company has changed the fabric. They no longer come in a cotton-like canvas fabric, but they now use a clearly synthetic, woven, polyester-type fabric that is padded inside and smells strongly of plastic. They are still comfortable, but they seem as though they are going to breathe less and be more hot and sweaty. Furthermore, they have completely lost their distinctive style, and the sneakers now look cheap, like something you would buy in Payless or Walmart. I don't know if I am going to return them -- it is probably not worth the trouble -- but I am super bummed, since I was looking forward to having a black version of the original canvas design. I am keeping my star rating as it is, since I was originally reviewing the earlier design, but, Whitin, please bring back the canvas! As is, these are now worth only about 2 or 3 stars. ... show more

  • Comfortable, durable, cute
Size: 7 Color: W71v5 | White Gum
These shoes are very comfortable for traveling with lots of walking. We averaged about 25k steps a day for 3 weeks with inclines, declines, and cobblestones and they held up great. My feet still got tired at the end of the day or after a lot of cobblestones, but that’s to be expected. The white knit material was a little hard to keep clean and I rubbed them with a damp cloth each night to help. They look pretty good and mostly all white again after soaking and scrubbing them when we got home. Gum soles helped a lot - white soles would not have been easy to maintain. They were cute with summer dresses, shorts, and jeans. They have a nice wide toe box and I didn’t get any blisters or have a break in period. I replaced the foot bed that comes with the shoes with a Dr Scholls gel insert and that made them quite comfortable. I would absolutely buy them again and will continue to use them as a go to daily and travel shoe. ... show more

  • Transitional shoes
Size: 8 Color: W71v5 | Black
Well made and comfortable. I am usually a size 8.5 us and the 8 fits good. First time trying transition shoes. I have only been wearing them for a couple of weeks and my foot pain is not as bad as it had been. Fingers crossed 🤞 that they are helping.

  • Comfy and cute
Size: 10 Color: W71v5 | White Gum
They fit well and seem well made. It is spacious and cute. Definitely worth trying a pair! I hate shoes with arch support (I have strong arches and the dislike the discomfort of an added lump in my shoe). Luckily these are very simple and flat. Thank you!

  • Perfect for wide feet. Love these shoes!
Size: 7.5 Color: W71v5 | White Gum
I love, love, love these shoes. The first time I wore them was while traveling, so there was a lot of walking between gates to and from the airport. I have wide feet and my doctor recommended I only wear shoes with a wide toe box. Before I sunk some serious cash into some shoes, I thought I would give these a try. They have a slight arch support and are super comfortable and flexible. The fit around the toe area was spot on. They have a minimalist design with a mesh upper that breathes so that your feet stay cool. I really liked the old school gum sole that has a good grip when walking. ... show more

  • Not very slip resistant.
Size: 7 Color: W71v5 | Black
Very comfortable but I work in a bar and they are not very slip resistant. Probably great for everyday wear but not for work.

  • Comfortable
Size: 10 Color: W71v5 | Black
These are the most comfortable shoes I have ever worn. Nice wide toe box. Flat sole. I chose these over my other shoes on a daily basis. They are a flat shoe, which I didn't have trouble adjusting to. I wore them all day the first day. I even wore them without socks a few times. Seem sturdy,

  • Autist Approved
Size: 8 Color: W71v5 | Light Grey
I am Autistic so comfortable shoes are something I search for constantly. I've been hearing a lot about these shoes from people in the community and since I'm a Dasher I walk a lot on shops, plus at least two miles outdoors every day. Before switching to these I was wearing Brooks every day and my smaller toes were feeling painful after a long day. Let me tell you, even though these are "transitional" there was absolutely no break in or transition period. I measured my foot to make sure I got the right size and that's all I needed. They were good to walk in right away. My second day wearing them I walked an easy 4 miles total and the next day I had zero foot or toe pain. Being able to walk with my full foot just feels great and, as an Autistic person who has grown used to being trapped in feet prisons, it feels so good to spread my toes and touch the ground!! I definitely recommend trying these if you struggle with proprioception issues or toe pain from wearing narrow shoes. I haven't walked more than about 5 miles at a time in these, but definitely great for everyday walking. The only thing I don't like about these is that I wish they were made of a softer material. There's no way I could wear these without socks. Also it would be nice if there was a tab on the back, it tends to get bunched behind my heel when I put them on. ... show more
