Great everyday shoe option
Been wearing these for a few weeks. Great for everyday shoes, no matter your style of clothing! I love the wide toe box. I have over-pronation (flat feet) and have trouble finding shoes with low heel drop. These are surprisingly comfortable and do not leave my feet feeling sore at the end of the day.No arch support, so if you need that you’ll have to add your own insoles.Lightweight, easy to pack!Traction is fine for normal terrain, but because the soles are so thin you won’t want to walk on gravel or anything like that for too long. Definitely not a good winter shoe as they do not protect from the elements.The white are great, but I will be ordering in another few colors throughout the year.I think the lightweight fabric is also easy to clean, as I’ve been spot-cleaning with just a cloth and warm water. I ordered a size 11, and I am 5’9”. Photos show the shoes worn in my office, after several weeks of normal wear!

I can never go back to normal shoes. My feet feel so much better!
I normally have to try on dozens--if not more--pairs of shoes before finding one that *almost* both fits in the toes AND will not keep slipping off my heel. Nothing ever fits completely right. Imagine my surprise when I put these minimalist shoes on my feet and they fit PERFECTLY. I'm thinking of buying a second pair as house shoes since they're comfier than my slippers!These technically come in European sizing, but the listing has US sizing. If you wear US 7.5, the "7.5" size in the dropdown will probably also fit you perfectly like they do for me. If you wear Euro sizing and alternate between a 38 and 38.5 normally, I recommend to size-up. (The ones they're selling as 7.5s are somewhere between a Euro 37.5 and 38 in terms of length)They look a little goofy when I look down at my feet, but they look way more normal from the perspective of others who are viewing you from the side or front. It's surprising how normal they look from a distance considering how silly they look (to me) from directly above. So if the clown shoe aspect is a concern of yours, I wouldn't worry too much about it with these shoes. It's very mild.I tried on some Xero shoes a couple days ago and they were both stiffer and less comfortable than these much cheaper Whitin sneakers. As far as longevity, I cannot say how they compare. But I do recommend these shoes to anyone and everyone who has similar feet as me, i.e., wide toe box, narrow heel, average arch height, average foot volume. But if you have high foot volume, narrow feet, or very wide feet, these probably won't work for you.I've never had shoes that felt GOOD to walk in before, and I've been wearing shoes for over 40 years. I'm low-key in love with these sneakers at the moment. It's a bit too early to tell for sure, but I suspect that they are helping keep my foot issues from flaring up as much (plantar fasciitis/heel pain, mild morton's neuroma, mild big-toe arthritis, peripheral neuropathy/numbness from shoe pressure). When I stepped out of bed this morning, my heels didn't hurt at all. It was wonderful.You're supposed to ease yourself into minimalist footwear, but as someone who normally goes barefoot as often as possible, there was no adjustment period at all for me.Care has been extremely easy--I have a light color upper, so they get dirty every other time I go out. All I've been doing is taking Clorox wipe and giving the dirty bit a light scrub and the dirt marks disappear. I'm not sure how healthy the chemicals in the wipes are for the canvas fabric in the long term, but so far it's worked well for me.The only "down side" is that I am now much more aware of how uncomfortable all of my other pairs of shoes are!If your budget allows, and you have feet like mine, you should totally try these shoes out.

Comfortable and durable
These wide toe box minimalist barefoot shoes are fantastic. The zero-drop sole feels natural and comfortable, and the roomy toe box lets your feet move the way they’re meant to. I walked in them for hours and they held up beautifully — no discomfort, no hotspots, just steady support and flexibility. A great choice if you want a durable, comfortable shoe that promotes a more natural stride.

Comfy casual
Pleasantly surprised. I wear a 10W in women's shoes and its very hard to find casual shoes that fit and aren't ugly. These fit me perfectly, however would recommend inserts if you have PF or sore feet easily as there's no arch support. But the toe box is great and offers natual comfortability.

Perfect Everyday Shoe
I've worn these shoes everywhere for two months and they're amazing! I even wore them to my food service job a couple of times and they withstood slippery floors and long 8 hours days of just being on my feet. It's taken some getting used to, and I do still prefer regular sneakers when on my feet for longer than 5 hours, but the slight cushioning these shoes provide is perfect for everyday use. They're incredibly flexible and durable, and the fit was perfect.

That's comfortable shoe but definitely size up!
I'm rating this as 3 stars. It's because the size does run small. So if you wear a women's 9 go with the 41. It's a pain in the butt for me to return things through amazon. I rarely order clothes or shoes because I prefer to try them on first. They are a very comfortable fit and I do plan on ordering these again.

Amazing Shoes!
LOVE these shoes!! This is my fourth pair of Whitin shoes, and they continue to deliver. If you're lookin for a shoe without an elevated heel and with room to wiggle your toes, look no further. I'm so happy they started making more colors; you can get something to go with almost any outfit. They last a long time too. My first pair is four years old, and still in great shape. I don't wear them every day though, but they have gone through some experiences. So far, they've held up wonderfully. The sole is nice and gripp-y; I feel safe walking on wet surfaces. The insole is removable too. Can't say enough good things about these shoes. Finally, a company that makes a good product for an affordable price!
