WHITIN Women’s Wide Minimalist Barefoot Shoes | Zero Drop Sole

Space for a splayed foot
I come from a no-shoes-indoors household. I also fractured a pinky toe bone earlier this year. My blood flow must be awful or something because I’m pretty sure it’s still healing (but I can’t afford all the podiatrist visits to keep checking on it). Anyway, I’m super wary about crushing the sides of my feet because of the fracture. I’ve also got 2 toenails growing on one pinky toe due to ill-fitting shoes in the past. The nails on my big toe curve upwards as they grow, and poke at the ceiling of most shoes. All this to say, I have had so much trouble finding shoes that work for me.When I slipped these on, all that came out of my mouth was “wtf” (the full phrase). Because I couldn’t believe there were shoes that I could feel so comfy and natural in. This is truly a game changer for me. I initially bought these as a “starter” shoe for barefoot shoes, and I’m ready to go all in now. It’s so lightweight. it’s zero drop and the soles are kind of thin but feel sturdy enough.They’re wide toe, so the “clown shoe” appearance is something I’ll have to get used to. The build feels cheap, but I think this a great starter for trying out barefoot shoes. Its also got slip on/off potential as the fabric is stretchy.I literally just got these, so as I wear these on different types of terrain, I’ll be sure to update my review accordingly.

Cozy, roomy toe box
Love these! They are a minimalist shoe. The toe box is nice and roomy. I have a neutral gait and they feel plenty supportive.

Comfy right out of the box
I wear primarily barefoot sandals, and am actually barefoot whenever I’m home or in the yard. I wanted something that allows for natural splay when walking when I don’t want to wear my sandals. I’m glad I chose these. I received them today, opened them, put them on, then took my dog for a walk out in the hill country. These shoes didn’t require any breaking in. They are light, and allow for natural movement. For reference, I got the size that coincides with UK 38. I normally wear US 7 or 7.5 hiking shoes or tennis shoes, and this size fit properly. I have a narrow heel, but need the width in the toe box, and these delivered. With the laces properly tied, there is no heel slip. My feet have naturally high arches and, before I started wearing barefoot shoes, I thought a zero drop without high arch support would be problematic. It is not. In fact, the sole flexibility of barefoot shoes allows the foot to work naturally on natural surfaces. I don’t want to wear anything else.If you’re considering trying these, go for it. They’re so inexpensive compared to other barefoot shoe brands, and perform just as well for so much less.

Surprisingly sturdy minimalist shoe!
Okay first off, in this picture I was intentionally trying to look creepy, please don’t judge me LOL. Seen here are definitely this pair of shoes though. Honest review incoming! :3I’ll be real, I don’t usually expect much when it comes to a minimalistic shoe! They’re hit or miss. But these, these got me through a four hour hike at Enchanted rock. Didn’t hurt me at all, the wide toe foot is PERFECT for walking and movement. BUT, I do recommend that you work your way down to these shoes as it can take a while to get used to if you’ve been using shoes with arch support. These broke in very quickly though, and remained perfectly sturdy after my hike!The GRIP. These shoes have what I like to call a “monkey grip” LOL but no lie! I was climbing and even crawling in a cave from the confidence the grip on these gave me. I truly am impressed am very, very happy with this purchase. I’ll definitely be buying more from this brand. Comfortable, wide toe minimalist shoe for a very good price. I highly recommend them if you’re needing a nice new pair of wide toe shoes.

The shoe has wide toe box and a minimalist sole which makes it comfortable to walk in without cramming your toes. However the packing has made me wonder if the product is original. As you can see in the image, the shoes were crammed into a cardboard box without any original brand packaging or invoice. There was nothing to hold the shape or secure it. Non-branded ₹500 shoes have a better packaging than this. You expect better when you spend 8k for a pair of shoes.

Love these! So comfortable. Just enough support, but room for toes to spread and a flexible sole. These are my second pair. First are in the light khaki colour. Wanted black for versatility. They are great for the airport in that you don’t have untie and retie them. They just slip on and off. For the price I don’t think they can be beat!
