WHITIN Men’s Wide Toe Box + Zero Drop Sole Road Running Shoes | Rubber Outsole

Super Comfortable Casual Shoe
This is exactly what I wanted: it’s a casual shoe like something from Skechers, but has the toe box of an Altra, and costs a fraction of either. I dig the look and I plan to use them for walking, work, and general casual use. I wanted something that I could potentially wear all day without discomfort and these seem perfect for that.The build quality is good, not excellent. It uses a faux suede material around the eyelets that looks a bit cheap. The toe box uses a formed knitted material which doesn’t seem to be especially breathable (my “light test” showed very little light getting through) but it looks nice. There’s a reflective strip with the logo on it, which I like. Compared to my expensive Altra running shoes and my Reebok cross-trainers, those shoes rely more on plasticky bits held on with glue. The overall quality of the Whitins is not far off the mark. The rubberized sole might be the first thing to wear out, as it’s not especially thick. But compare that to Skechers which often go with a cheaper, less durable foam sole, and the Whitin soles look durable by comparison.If you plan to run in these, keep in mind that these are zero-drop shoes and while they have padding, it’s probably not enough for people who run on their heels. It’s best for fore/midfoot runners.It’s really impressive that you can get something that looks nice and feels this good on your feet for such a low price.Fit: I’d go 1-1.5 sizes down from your usual. I wear 11.5-12 men’s, and the 11 fit me best here, with a little room to spare.

Best looking, best fitting, and cheapest wide toe box shoes on the market
I’ve tried on Flux adapt runners (not wide enough toe box/narrow at arch), Bronax (too narrow at the arch or wide and bulky), Smartville (bulky and ugly design), and other random up and coming Amazon brands, but this specific shoe seems to be the best. I think they are better looking than all that Lems has to offer too. The traction on the bottom is decent but not the best for slippery surfaces. The wide toe box provides a lot of stability though so they are doable for wet grass and things of that sort. They work well running on flat hard surfaces, but I would avoid using them for trail running. They are flat so good for the gym too, although I prefer to squat in socks. I saw other people say they looked like clown shoes, but that’s unavoidable to a degree with wide toe box. Either way, you get used to the look pretty quick and no foot pain is quite worth it. They work well with joggers and shorts too.

Good price, not great comfort
Good shoes, nice grip for working out. Very wide toe box; makes it look like you’re wearing flippers. Not fully zero drop. Has some weird quirks in the way they feel. Not amazingly comfortable but not uncomfortable. For $35 you could do worse.

comfortable and wide !
very comfortable, did not had to expend on those “fancy” brands to get a good pair of walking wide shoes !
