Durable, comfy, & easy to clean after adventuring!
This is my fourth pair of Whitin barefoot shoes. They fit true to size (purchase according to my European size) and are super flexible and responsive to movement. The last two pair of Whitin sneakers I bought have been worn daily for over 3 years and still look new. Don’t let the affordable price fool you; these are well made and will last through a LOT of indoor and outdoor use. I was a dedicated Vivobarefoot girl, but I just can’t argue with the price on these. Also, Whitin makes shoes in styles that don’t scream “I am a barefoot shoe!” They just look like shoes. I have received many compliments on every pair of Whitins I walk around in.Pro tip: when they get dirty, take out the insoles and then brush the outsides of the shoes with a brush and some mild soap and water. They will look brand new and because the insoles didn’t get wet, they won’t stink. I believe that Whitin also sells replacement insoles if they do get stinky.

Great for 7 year old boy
Bought for my son and they are pretty decent. Super easy to put on and are definitely wide footed. I buy these for my kids so they get good foot strength and have better proprioception. They have decent grip and they go with most outfits. They stand up to the recess tests.

Great, affordable barefoot shoes!
We love these shoes for our son! They fit great, wash well, and hold up to abuse from little boys 🤣 our son has really wide feet and had started forming bunions from trying to squeeze his feet into traditional shoes. When I noticed this happening, I quickly order him a pair of barefoot shoes after reading up on the cause of bunions, and after 6 months of wearing these shoes exclusively, or being barefoot, his bunions have completely reversed and his feet look normal again! They hold up well for him, and he’s rough on shoes. They last about 6 mos for us and then it’s time to size up, but each time there’s been plenty of life left in the shoes when he’s outgrown them. Overall a great affordable option for barefoot shoes, or just for kiddos with wide feet!

Excellent shoes for growing feet
My kids don't typically like shoes so this was a hopeful purchase. My daughter loves the shoes!She chose the color she liked and said they are very comfortable. I like that they are a wide foot shape so it doesnt hinder her.They seem like a good quality like the adult version, which I have. The tread seems like it would be great in wet surfaces, she just hasn't worn them in the rain yet.Great quality and price!

Cute, flexible Kids Shoes
These are a cute flexible kids shoe with a wide toe-box. I bought them for my daughter who was ready for a new pair of shoes. She loves the colors on them and how much traction they have.They are easy for her to get on herself (which is important for a child's sense of agency).She's only worn them about a week now, so how long they'll last I can't tell (I'll update this if it's woefully short).The only con that I've seen so far is they have a little bit of toe spring (the toes of the shoes bend up), which isn't as good for natural foot mechanics, otherwise they are flexible enough to let feet be feet.

Buy them
I bought these because my son has wide feet and he's hard on his shoes, we typically go through them very fast. They are incredibly durable the longest any shoe has lasted us. They are easy to put on, light weight and the size was perfect. They are a great value for the quality.
