   Second pair
   This is my second pair of whitins. The other pair was a different style. It is a little more hybrid barefoot, while this one is more barefoot. The toe box in this one is less wide, but there is plenty of room for my toes to move and groove. There is less padding in this new pair. You can see that the other shoe (the one on the right) has more structure to it than this one. I like both pairs. I use these for doing cardio workouts. I am going to put the first pair in my yoga bag that I take with me when I travel. This way I don’t have to worry about making sure I have everything I need to get my workouts in. It is all in the bag, ready to go. When I come home, I wash/clean anything that needs it and pack it back into the bag for the next time. As for the new pair, they’ll be my daily workout shoes. They are very light weight. I tried another much more expensive pair of barefoot shoes, but they weren’t made of better materials and I actually liked the fit better on the whitins. That is why I am back for a second pair. I don’t know how well they will hold up, but I have had the other pair a couple of months now, wear them daily and they are holding up fine. I love the black on black of the new pair. The old ones had white soles on a black shoe which I don’t like as much. If you want to try some barefoot shoes, the whitins are a great place to start. If they don’t work out for you, you won’t be out a lot of money.A barefoot shoe has a zero drop, meaning that it is flat from front to back rather than having a higher heel area and then dropping lower in the front of the shoe. This is a good thing. It makes your foot strike the ground more in the center of the foot instead of right on the heel – more as you would normally walk barefoot. This is better for your knees and hips and your posture in general. It also has a wider toe box, giving your toes room to move, letting you naturally work the muscles in your feet and legs. They have little to no cushioning or arch support inside… again to make your feet do the work. Barefoot shoes aren’t for everyone though. Do your research! If you are used to wearing shoes with a large drop and a lot of extra cushioning inside, you may have to take it slow, and strengthen your feet some before you are able to wear this type of shoe.

   These are the least ugly barefoot shoes that I could find, and I love it!
   I wanted a shoe that was barefoot, and not ugly. So far I’ve just found barefoot shoes that were ugly because of the shape, and their designs. These shoes, although not the most stylish, are not shaped oddly and definitely can fit my feet! These are a good neutral shoe, which is saying a lot!I know a few that I bought on amazon were hyped up to be really nice, but once I got them in the mail LOL YIKES!!!! They were the ugliest shoes ever like I was wearing some Mickey Mouse club house shoes omg. Whoever said those other shoes were nice needs some glasses and an eye exam, because I’m not out here trying to cosplay as Mickey.Anyways, about the shoes performance, I’ve had these shoes for a good few months? Maybe even 6 months idek. It feels like I’ve had them forever. They work well, and have a lot of space to insert foot supports too which is nice. They’re also really nice to work out in especially when doing weights. I know it’s an issue with people wanting to go barefoot when they do heavy lifting, but the gyms won’t allow it. I think this shoe is a good way to get that barefoot feeling and doing weights. In terms of running in these, since I have foot issues that I’m still recovering from I can’t say how they fare in hard core long distance running. I can imagine they’re not going to be the best for that since it won’t be able to absorb the impact from running as well as other shoes with more cushion?Regardless though, these are great shoes. I even wore them a lot when working my 12 hour shifts as a nurse. They’re also really nice walking shoes, or just on the go shoes. Can’t say anything more positive, absolutely love this shoe!

   Comfortable, but not for active walking!
   I liked that these sneakers are not bulky, look neat on the foot, the colors and textures are well coordinated, super comfortable, lightweight. After a year of wear and several washings in the washing machine they look like new. BUT don’t even think about walking actively in them! I was misled by how light and comfortable my feet felt in them and chose them for a vacation in Europe, where I had to walk a lot around the city every day. Two days later, right in the middle of the route, I suddenly had severe pain in one foot, which was sharply increasing with each minute. As a result, I barely limped to the hotel in the evening. The next day I had to urgently buy other sneakers suitable for long walking with physiological foot support, in which the pain immediately went away. Since then, I only wear these sneakers if I know that I won’t have to walk in them for more than 10 minutes at a time, and if I have to walk more, then the pain in my foot returns.

   Super comfy and great for long wearing time
   I wear these daily to work and I even wore them on a short hike in some rocky areas and they are great for both! Not to say that 8 hours on your feet is completely soreness free, but these shoes definitely brought my feet from literal aching pain that would last hours after taking off my shoes, to just regular soreness that goes away after sitting down for a while. I’m a fan of being barefoot and this gives my feet the allusion of the way I’m most comfortable anyway. So if you’re like me, and prefer no shoes at all, these will be for you.

   Don’t listen to Amazon size recommendations
   Amazon recommended a size 9, when I’m usually a size 10. Much too small. That’s what I get for trusting robots. Light and comfortable. Very wide for narrow feet, but somehow that doesn’t make them less comfortable. They arrive in shrink wrap plastic instead of a shoe box, which was strange and off putting.

   Wanted to love these
   I purchased these shoes specifically because I have Morton’s Neuroma. They were very comfortable at first. Plenty of toe room so I don’t have any pain there. I’ve been wearing them for 2 weeks now and my heels are killing me. For reference, I wore these as my everyday/running errands shoe. Back to the drawing board I suppose.

   Es la primera vez que compro este tipo de calzado, tenía mis dudas pero los comentarios me convencieron. En realidad están muy suaves y cómodos, el pie se siente libre.Le doy 4 estrellas porque venían en un empaque muy sencillo y delgado, pienso que están más expuestos a algún daño en el transporte.A excepción de eso, muy lindos y cómodos.

    Hice esta compra como regalo para mi madre y, en general, estamos muy satisfechos con estos tenis. La calidad del producto es notable, y mi madre los encuentra extremadamente cómodos. Lo que más le gusta es la amplitud de la zona de los dedos, que le permite sentirse más libre y cómoda que con otros tipos de tenis. Considerando la calidad y comodidad que ofrecen, además del precio asequible, definitivamente creo que hicimos una excelente elección al comprar estos tenis. Recomiendo este producto a cualquiera que busque comodidad y calidad a un buen precio.

    Están muy suaves y cómodos. Lo único que hay que acostumbrarse a que casi no tienen suela. La calificación es porque la talla viene muy reducida en este modelo. He comprado otros modelos de la misma marca y todo perfecto. Si van a comprar este modelo compren medio número más.
