WHITINMen's Wide Toe Box Barefoot & Minimalist Shoe | Zero Drop Sole

You can't beat these for the price. I don't know how long they'll hold up, but they're a really nice running shoe if your into zero drop, minimalist running shoes. Be warned, these are SO much different than your average running shoes. Expect at least a week or two for your legs and feet to acclimate. Don't over do it the first few weeks, or you'll end up injured. Also, be advised that there isn't much protecting your feet - so I wouldn’t recommend these shoes super rough terrain. I'm happy with my purchase!UPDATE: I've put nearly 100 miles on these bad boys. They're great. I like them better than my Ultras, yet I paid 100 dollars less for these. Don't waste your money on super expensive name brands, these shoes are great!UPDATE 2: 170 miles and they’re still good as new. I just ordered a second pair because I like them so much.UPDATE 3: I uploaded a picture of my second pair. BE CAREFUL when changing the color scheme. I ordered what I thought was a different color scheme, but as it turns out these ones DO NOT have a Velcro tighten strap like the other pair does. (LOOK CLOSELY at the pictures, as it is depicted just fine. I wasn't paying any attention - so it's on me) Don't worry though, I just ordered a 3RD pair of red ones with the strap for only 28 dollars! It's worth noting that the new pair (without the Velcro strap) still feel just as comfortable - but I haven't done any running in them yet.UPDATE 4: I suppose you get the point now. Keep on running, fam!

I'm going to be honest here: I don't think these are going to last particularly long, and that is perfectly fine.See, what we have here are a type of shoe that flexes. This is by design. It's like wearing shoes while walking barefoot. Many claim it's a more natural way of walking. And it does fit the bill. However, the material I'm not convinced will last very long. You can fork over $100+ for the good ones that will last, with the bottoms made by Vibram. But... they're an odd shoe. For those that love them, they truly love them. For those that hate them, they despise them. So paying $100 or more seems like a pretty steep investment for something you might end up hating.That's where these come in. I've wanted to try shoes like these, but the barrier to enter was too high. Now, $35 to answer that question, that I can do. So I've been wearing them a bit, and enjoying them. I suspect they will be done for in about 4-8 months, and I won't be bummed. I'll move on to the $100+ if I decide this is the shoe style for me. If I decide it's not my style, these things saved me $65, effectively.Will I buy these again? Well, if they somehow last me more than 8 months, then probably will. Otherwise, they're like a "sample" of this style of shoe, and well worth it to answer the question of if the style is something you want to get into.

I struggle to find a good pair of trail running shoes. The tread is still great after 200miles (yes I track this stuff). They are comfortable for my feet and I wear these most of the time. The second picture shows the surface of where I run. One of the best shoes I have found. And they are cheap. Great quality. Great durability. Comfortable. AND and and I don't get much sand in them while on the beach.

I am on a journey to fast walk/jog with less to no pain and I had been reading about going barefoot or at the very minimum very little padding. I read about in the book "Born to Run" about many different examples of how the so called "running" shoes cause more injury then they prevent. A star track coach had his team practice barefoot because the new so called Nike "Running" shoes were causing injuries that were not there before they started wearing the running shoes. I have a pair of the Vibram 5 Finger shoes which were pretty good but it would hurt between my toes when I tried to run with them. The point is that we were born to walk and run on our natural feet but obviously with the way things are we risk getting cut if we try to do so now a days. Having said this these shoes are perfect, there is no constraint on the foot so it lays in it's natural unconstrained position. Because of the just enough protection to keep you from the elements you naturally start to walk/run on the forefront of the foot instead of the heal which is what causes injuries, shin splints and knee pain among other things. I highly recommend these sneakers! I myself will buy another pair to make sure I'm covered in case for some unfortunate reason they stop making them. The sizing is just right, if you wear a size 11.5 a size 11.5 in these shoes will be just right.

I've never had shoes like this !Never even heard of minimalist shoes b4 last month!Running in responders half marathon in 19 days lol ...I hope to be wearing these bad boys for it!!Will update afterwards cheers !Update ...didn't win the half lolBut finished with fresh feet !! No foot pain at all ...5 * from me!!About sizing .....because they take a long time to get the shoes to you ,you wanna get it right!..... I stood on a peice of paper and traced ea foot ...measured carefully and made my order that half size down from my regular daily cushion shoe.

I love these shoes! I have had such a hard time finding shoes that fit my feet well. The wide toe box on these fit me great. When looking into barefoot/minimalist shoes I quickly realized that they are incredibly expensive. These shoes are a good price. They are zero drop and very flexible. They really do check off all of the boxes for a minimalist shoe.Now the couple of things that I don't like. These are not major issues more just some things that I am not a huge fan of. 1) the insoles are very thick and padded. They are actually around 9mm thick and even have some arch support. This is pretty much against everything that you are told to look for in barefoot shoes. Luckily with the insoles removed these are great. The stack height gets reduced down to 7mm with the insoles removed (including the treads which are around 3mm deep) which is pretty good. Now for issue 2) this is a minor one but the glue that holds the sole to the shoe is very visible around the edges. This is not a big deal but it would look better if this glue was not visible. It might be more visible because I bought black shoes and the glue is white but I believe it should be less visible overall.With all that being said I love these shoes. They are wide, comfortable, very flexible and breathe well. I will definitely be buying more when I need too. So far I have over 60km of walking in these shoes over concrete, gravel, mulch, mud and even some climbing over fallen trees and they have been great the whole time.

After seeing the great reviews on the internet about these shoes I came over to Amazon to purchase them. I had noticed that the listing stated that the shoes are "true to size" and made a purchase for my size 12 shoe. When I received them after being delivered I tried them on and came to find out that the size I normally wear are a size to big. I had wrote the seller about this issue with NO response. I originally purchased these to be my daily exercise walking shoe and after wearing them for the first time and completing a 2 hour walk on flat pavement I developed a serious blister on the bottom of my left foot and a small one on my right foot to where it wasn't that noticeable (but if had gone for another hour it would've been worse). Never have I ever had a shoe do this to my feet. These maybe a good shoe if they fit really snug to where they don't shift from under your feet while wearing them, but as you can see in the image I've provided they're not that great.

I wear a size 9US men's running shoe and purchased this in a size 8.5 which fit well. The size says 41 which I assume is European. Using them as a functional fitness gym shoe. Nice for balance exercises. Have to pull like a sock so it is a tight yet comfortable fit. Feet were a little sore after first couple workouts which is normal when adjusting to minimalist shoes. Overall happy with purchase.

These shoes grip steep rocks well and give me more confidence hiking in the mountains. They're pretty ugly, but at-least I'm not going to split my head open climbing down a rock face.
