WHITINMen's Minimalist Trail Running Shoes | Wide Toe Box | Optimal Barefoot-Feel

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 bought these shoes to return to a more minimal shoe after having done a lot of barefoot running on grass in the past, until an injury ( not related ) has kept me out for a few years. I do own a pair of Vibram five fingers which are open and are very disliked by my wife. So after reading the reviews on Amazon I decided to give these a go.I have been Bly had them for 3 days but have walked a couple of mile in them and have completed a 6 mile fell run in them this morning and could not be happier. These shoes are fantastic.10/10 for comfort10/10 for fit10/10 for gripIn short they are great and I will be buying another pair for everyday use 😁👍

Ich habe eine Alternative zu schmalen Orientierungslauf-Schuhen gesucht, mit maximaler Zehenfreiheit. Fivefingers waren mir zu teuer, da bin ich auf diese hier gestoßen.Okay, wer richtige Barfußschuhe sucht, ist hier falsch, dafür ist die Sohle noch zu dick. Zwar sehr flexibel und flach, aber deutlich dicker, als ich es einem echten Barfußschuh zugestehen würde. Für meine Zwecke ist es allerdings genau richtig, denn ich benutze sie ausschließlich zum Orientierungslauf - der einzigen Sportart (neben Skifahren), die ich nicht barfuß mache.Die dicke weiche Einlegesohle ist völlig überflüssig und hat in so einem Schuh nichts zu suchen! Eigentlich braucht es gar keine, aber ich habe sie gegen ein selbst ausgeschnittenes 1,8mm Sohlengummi (Schuhreparaturbedarf) ersetzt, um nicht auf dem sehr glatten Innenboden zu verrutschen, wenn es nass wird. Das hat sich ganz gut bewährt.Nach einem Versuch mit Socken (zu warm) trage ich die Schuhe nur noch ohne Socken. Das ist mir warm genug, da ich sowieso auch im Winter draußen barfuß gehe.Auch nach mehreren Wettkämpfen habe ich keine Verschleißerscheinungen festgestellt. Ich schätze, dass wohl der Klettverschluss als erstes schlappmachen wird, aber bislang ist alles tiptop.Im Alltag sehe ich die eher nicht, aber ich könnte sie mir gut zum Wassersport vorstellen. Die Sohle ist sehr rutschfest. Für den Preis definitiv empfehlenswert!

I LOVE THESE SHOES! They are THE MOST comfortable shoes I have EVER worn! My toes are as free as they would be barefoot, the sole is soft, yet I can still feel most of the terrain underfoot. It's helped my back feel better overall, no more pain due to the slight heel you get in different shoes. They're breathable too. They are seriously AWESOME! I'm about to get another pair or two because MY GOD, I love them and I'd like to have different colours to go with different outfits. I haven't used them in running yet, but once I get used to them I will probably try it and post a review on here!

Wenn ich neue Schuhe kaufe und diese dass erste mal trage, habe ich anschließend immer lädierte Füße. Es dauert immer einige schmerzhafte Tage, bis ich mich einigermaßen darin wohl fühle und sie eingetragen habe.Nicht so bei diesen "WHITIN Barfuss -Schuhen". Ausgepackt, reingeschlüpft und wohlgefühlt!Es fühlt sich tatsächlich nach wenigen Minuten an, als trüge man nur noch dickere Socken. Dieses Gefühl hatte ich mit neuen Schuhen noch nie. Auch das Laufen lässt sich an, als würde man mit ABS-Socken durch die Wohnung laufen, klasse!Deshalb für diese Schuhe eine Top-Empfehlung und glatte "Fünf Zehen", äh "Sterne *****"!

These are great barefoot style shoes for the money. I wear a size UK 9 in most every other shoe but needed an 8.5 in these. I ordered an 8.5 and sent back the 9's but amazon must have ran out of size 8.5 and tried to fob size 8's off on me instead. So I had to send those back too and now I dont have any as the size 8.5 option has been removed. I've been wearing barefoot shoes since 2012 and could tell right away these were decent, so i'm somewhat miffed that I am now seemingly unable to get them in my size. Thanks amazon. Maybe next time you dont try to sell me things you dont have in stock!
