WHITIN Men’s Zero Drop Running Shoes + Wide Toe Box

Holy Moly! Value for the money is insane!
First off, no frills packaging! I don’t care about name brand or gimmicks. They come in a bag with form holding inserts. They appear well made, solid construction and the material feels nice. I am a size 10US and ordered the 44 for the appropriate size comparison. I feel like I could have gone down a size to allow for a bit more snug fit, for running and less moving in the shoe. The wide toe box and zero drop are super comfortable for a natural feeling stance and foot position, but it doesn’t feel quite as secure as normal shoes that entrap your foot into unnatural positions. I’m super impressed at how comfortable, and solid they feel. I’m very excited to see how they hold up to running and longevity compared to more expensive shoes. If losing the box and fancy names saves me money and gets me a shoe that holds up and works well, please keep doing what you are doing WHITIN!I will say the laces are super hard to tighten, the loop system is a bit strange in comparison to other shoes. But the laces, the materials and overall construction are great. The sole is not too thick, and the natural foot position affords the opportunity for pain reduction in the feet, ankles, knees and hips! This style footwear is promoted by pediatrist and physical therapist alike !

Toes box wide enough to accommodate splay correctors
After reading many reviews, took the plunge and bought my first pair of barefoot style shoes (these). I am determined to start correcting my misaligned toes, failed bunion surgery and painful arches that have ruled my life for too long . I am going from quality, leather, supportive New Balance…which is the only shoes I can wear most of a day without unbearable pain….to these shoes. I bought on Amazon without ever having tried on or seen in person so I expected a fail. Most shoes look wide enough but once on they are generally too tight or I can feel everything I step on. These shoes came wrapped in sealed plastic but just in an amazon box, no shoe box. See the made in China label. They feel light weight and pretty cheap but they are cleanly made….no sloppy glue, wierd seams or mismatched colors. I had to open the laces as wide as they would go but once on, they were easy to lace up normally. My 8.5 4E wide ladies foot fit perfectly in this 8.5 shoe with plenty of toe box room and height for my thick feet. My toes have about 3/4″ extra space from the nose. The fit is surprisingly good and the shoes are comfortable. Then I put socks on which took up a little more room than I would like. I then put my toe spreaders on plus socks and the fit is still comfy but I would get a half size bigger if wearing toe separators with these shoes. So far I am very happy I did not waste the $45 ish these cost, however, I’ve only owned them for 15 minutes so I can’t yet say how they feel on my arches after wearing out in normal life. I hear it takes time to retrain feet to align and build muscle to support arches properly.In the first week or 3, my feet didn’t hurt and were not sore from suddenly wearing shoes with zero support, but they were tired. I think this is evidence that my feet and calf muscles are retraining. I am very happy with this purchase.Update…. several months later and my feet still don’t hurt. In fact, after a whole day my feet are tired but not painful as they were when wearing support shoes. My PF doesn’t flare up with these shoes. I am so surprised that I am not in more pain. My toes have not straightened at all though and I am still not fully used to the thinness of the soles.These shoes still look good and I wear them daily. I wash the white pair of shoes in the sink with Dawn and warm water and they are still pretty white. Another bonus….I don’t tie or untie my shoes, I just force them on because I am usually in a hurry and the back of the shoe hasn’t broken down at all. In fact, both pairs still look very nice.Hope this helps someone.

For years I have struggled with the fit of shoes,and spent money, on doctors and orthotics. They have all failed me.I saw the shoe on Amazon, it looked good so I took a chance.I am glad I did. (Why) there is plenty of room for my toes, on the side and top, I have average ankles and heals the fit is perfect no riding up or down! The shoe is very light and airy.I have been told that I need cushioned heal with stability.(I know now that is Not so for me )The zero drop shoes was the best thing for me, my walking is way more stable and my ankle pains are gone and other problems are healing.I have put almost 80km walking on them and they are holding up good. (No rough abuse)I now have purchased second pair just in case they are no longer available.This product works the best for me, and they look good too although they need some more colors.(Little note doctors are not always correct and shoe company’s promote hype, trust your gut and take some chances to find what works for you!) I did and its paying off 👍👍👍( Note I did upgrade the insole to Marks work warehouse 2 pack Duracare insoles)

Amazing value. Love these low drop, wide toe box shoes. While I am a minimalist fan, I’m not a barefoot fan, so I replaced the Whitin insole with a Dr. Scholl’s Float-On-Air insole (which can be cut to the same shape) to get some more cushion and shock absorption.
