Very nice barefoot sneakers
I have very wide, short (8 inches heel-to-toe), and tall (instep) feet, so I was looking for a nice pair of white sneakers that would not squish my toes and allow my feet to move a bit more naturally. I ordered size 6, which fits my feet very well. Since buying these, they have become one of my absolute favorite pairs of shoes, because they are just so comfortable! They are excellent shoes for driving, and I usually forget that I'm wearing them because of how comfortable they are. I wear them on most of my walks, and while they probably wouldn't withstand heavy walking without wearing out the insole, the outer sole is holding up pretty well. Even with the insole, I can feel the different surfaces I'm walking on without feeling like I'd get cut if I stepped on something sharp, which is very nice. My toes have room to spread out and move freely (while my pinky toe cannot spread out fully to the side, it is not squished inward towards the other toes). They are obviously not the first choice for fashionable shoes, but they don't look so much like clown shoes that I feel self-conscious wearing them in public. And I really like how many color options there are! I would not be surprised if I ordered another pair of these in another color, or maybe the ones that are made of canvas material to be a bit warmer for colder months (these ones are quite breathable). I haven't cleaned them yet, but I think they'll be pretty easy to clean. The one thing I don't like so much is that the laces are made of a very synthetic material, which holds the shape of how they were tied when they arrived. I think maybe washing and air-drying them would help with that, but I haven't gotten around to that yet, so they still have some kinks and look a little wonky, but that's a minor thing for me.All in all, I am very happy with this purchase, and I think these are a great value for the price!

I feel like a new person with better balance and stability
I’m honestly shocked that a $40 pair of shoes has become the most comfortable in my entire collection! After enjoying a barefoot hike on the beach, I realized the real health benefits of walking barefoot. I wanted to bring that experience into an urban environment, so I decided to try an affordable pair from Amazon—and I couldn’t be happier that I picked these Whitins.The toe box is the widest I’ve ever experienced, yet the shoes don’t look clownish at all. While barefoot shoes typically require a slow transition, these felt so comfortable right out of the box that I immediately stopped wearing my other shoes and started wearing these exclusively. And to put it in perspective, I normally wear brands like Nike, New Balance, Birkenstocks, and Tevas—all known for comfort—but none compare to these Whitins!If you have wider feet (I wear C width), these shoes will change your life! They have the perfect amount of cushioning to let you walk on hard surfaces for hours while supporting your journey to stronger feet and legs, better balance, a lower risk of hip fractures from falls, and fewer foot problems (like bunions and plantar fasciitis).I recently tried on a pair of Vivobarefoot Primal 3 women’s cross-training shoes that cost $120 and couldn’t believe the difference. The Vivobarefoots had a narrower toe box that prevented toe splay, while the Whitins allow my toes to stretch out much more. Walking in Whitins feels like walking barefoot at the beach--comfortable yet will tone those leg muscles up!Since wearing these, I feel like a new person—more balanced, more stable, and more rejuvenated. I am also less afraid of falling and breaking a hip in the future. These shoes aren’t just comfortable; they’re life-changing. Thank you, Whitin!UPDATE: The superlatives do not end. Over the past few months these shoes have allowed my feet to expand and strengthen. My feet are stronger, more muscular, and more stable than they have ever been in any point in my life. I bought a pair of the Lems Primal Zen shoes, which are also extremely comfortable and I have to say the Whitins are just as comfortable at only a fraction of the cost. The only downside is that as your toes expand and your muscles strengthen you might need to buy a bigger pair of these shoes!Don't let the inexpensive price fool you--these are hands down one of the most comfortable barefoot shoes available on the market today!

Cute & super comfy, but possible reaction to label/tag!
Ok so I LOVE these-super comfy all day, cute (yes a bit wide looking, but I have wide feet so I don’t mind!) Sizing was perfect. Bought 10, and I have wide feet and also a high instep, fit is great!But the label/tag under the tongue gave me the worst rash/contact dermatitis! Super sad, I didn’t wear them for a while because I suspected they caused my rash, and yesterday thought I’d try them again, I was still hoping they weren’t the culprit but, last night saw that the rash came back. Put the shoe on and the label/tag under the tongue lines up perfectly with my 2nd round of super itchy red squares. Probably worse for me because I have a high instep and maybe it rubs more? But I have never had a skin reaction before to anything, ever. And this one was still visible after more than 2 months! So I would say give them a try, I don’t see anyone else mention a reaction, but just be aware there might be something on those labels/tags that a few of use have reactions to, especially if you wear no or low-cut socks that don’t come up high enough to cover the tag.

All around great shoe! WHITIN is a great company with good products.
I own several WHITIN shoes. This is a great company and I love every pair that I have. I am known for my collection of shoes. I highly recommend these for comfort, true to size, great traction and wet or dry. They are a class, comfortable and versatile shoe. I have been ordering more shoes in the wide width because it just gives you a little bit more room and makes it so much more comfortable. Excellent shoe with a great price.

My Favorite Shoes!!!
I own three pairs of these shoes in different colors because I love them so much. They are roomy and so comfortable for walking and working out. I can wear them all day. I recently went for a 3 mile walk in my running/walking shoes and my feet were killing me, then I did the same walk in these shoes and no pain whatsoever. They also wash incredibly well. It takes a little elbow grease and a scrubbing brush. I simply use some dish soap, laundry detergent and water. Then scrub, scrub, scrub and toss them in the wash with a load of towels then air dry.
