• Dana L Wyse

  These are everything you want out of a barefoot shoe. They look even better in person, they fit to size, and they are extremely comfortable and lightweight. It is an awesome value for your money! 10/10 recommend

  These are the third pair of Whitin shoes I have bought. So far I am loving the Whitin brand of barefoot wide shoes. For reference, my foot shape is a gentle slope, wide fan, with narrow heels and skinny ankles. They measure 24.7cm long by 10.5cm wide. Very much pizza shaped or duck feet shaped. I have a medium volume instep that becomes low volume through my midfoot and toes.I also have bunions by each of my big toes with the left one slightly larger than the right and these shoes, once broken in, do not put pressure on them. I like more ground feel in my barefoot shoes so I like removing the insoles which also gives you a few millimeters more width. There is a little bit of a toe spring, but it doesn't bother me as I am barefoot 99% of the time. Even outside in winter. Haha. I don't have much extra space for toe splay (my splay is 11.5cm), but overall they are comfortable and the canvas has stretched to provide some of the extra millimeters I need.The quality of the shoes has been great so far and I have had my first pair for well over a year now and they are still in great condition. The canvas is durable and has not pilled. The soles have worn pretty evenly with the way I walk. I will be upgrading the laces to elastic/no-tie ones just for ease of on and off.Overall shoe and a great barefoot compromise shoe if you are a barefoot purist.

  I love barefoot shoes and these look to be well made and durable. These came in only whole sizes. I usually order 8 or 8 1/2 wide in barefoot shoes and also measured the length of my foot per the sizing info. The 8 was too small and very tight. If the seller adds wide and half sizes, I would definitely order an 8.5 wide or maybe even a 9 wide (if wides are added and half sizes are not). If you are a half size, order up to the next whole size. Very nice looking sneaker alternative with the comfort of a barefoot shoe.

  Because of the extra stitching at the throat area just below the laces on this particular model of Whitin shoe, I had to take out the insole of the shoe to accommodate the hight of my instep on the left foot.. As you can see in the picture. My foot is a high volume foot. I will order another pair of Whitin shoes without that stitching just below the laces. They are certainly very comfortable without the insole. My wide feet are happy! My toes are happy! It's a good brand and a well made canvas shoe! Definitely something I will recommend! My foot is between 9.5" and 10" and I got a size 9 shoe.

  These are the most comfortable and adorable shoes I have owned in a LONG time. I DID put a little gel insert into the shoes to give them a little more cushion than they come with, but that's just me. I wear an 8 in almost all shoes (except Asics, in which I wear an 8.5), and I bought an 8. My toes almost touch the end of the shoe, but it doesn't rub or become uncomfortable. I swear, these shoes are like wearing socks. I am in love.My ONLY complaint about these shoes is that I can't find the other colors in my size. I am hoping they will be making more and not discontinuing the shoes. I would also love to see these come out in red and white. :)

  This shoe! Yes! Go get it. I have had trouble finding a shoe that doesn’t make my toes sore. I have tried so many shoes. This one is amazing. I ordered size 8 but usually order 8.5 just for extra toe room. The 8 fit perfectly , and I you can take the insole out for a little more room. Love this shoe. I haven’t walked over rocks or went hiking but for regular everyday wear , work, home, shopping , their amazing.

  I have a pair of original Whitten barefoot shoes, and while amazingly comfortable and fits the barefoot bill, they are a little not-so-fashionable. These take everything the others have and add the style factor. My only complaint is that half sizes are not available. These run smaller than other Whitten shoes, I wear a 7 usually, a 7.5 would have been prefect but I went with the 8 as the 7s were decidedly too small.

  I don't normally take time to leave reviews but had to for these shoes... I've been wearing Vibram FiveFingers for about 3 years and although I love all of the incredible benefits they have, I find them so ugly and hate wearing them in public. My husband has Vivobarefoot shoes and they are AMAZING but I don't have the $200 to spare right now so I gave these a shot. Firstly, the fabric quality surprised me for the price. They seem durable and are very comfortable- you don't need to break them in at all. And (as far as barefoot shoes go) they're cute! Highly recommend, especially for first-time barefoot shoe owners. If you're already used to barefoot shoes, take the inserts out to make them truly zero drop.

  I love this shoe, looks well built for the price. I love the color too. Unfortunately I had to return it because it was small for me. I followed the size chart but it seems to be a little short for me. I order one size up. I feel that the STARS can go up based on the actual shoe. I just could not test for comfort or durability. I will do a follow up review once my new pair gets delivered. But Amazon customer service gave me the confidence to get another pair.
