Review: Fitting guide very inaccurate! - Was apprehensive to pull the trigger on these shoes, mostly due to cost and associating that with quality. I am very pleased with them, though. The price point makes them a steal! First the good: I have VERY flat, low profile feet, kinda like skis. Plus my pinky toe has started rolling over and goinng inward. THese shoes provide a generous toe box, and even loosely laced fit my feet like a glove. It was weird walking in them at first as this is the only pair of 0 drop shoes I have worn, almost tripped walking down the hall as if my feet didn't know how to work. After a couple minutes I adapted. My feet feel more "connected" to the ground, with exceptional grip and fit. My feet are very comfortable and not tired after a full day at work on my feet. I will be buying more in the future. The bad: This doesn't take away from my fondness of the shoes, but the top of the toe box (near the laces) somewhat folds in, creating a look of shoes that dont fit well, despite them fitting perfectly. So if you are someone who prefers appearance of functionality, this might drive you crazy. Tall profile feet may eliminate this, as they would fill out the shoe more. Additionally, the fitting chart for these shoes is whack! I measured my foot heal to toe, based on their recommendation I should order a size 8. I read another review that indicated I should order my usual size. So I ordered an 11 (im an 11.5 mens), and they fit perfect! Overall, great shoe, even better value, time will tell how well they hold up to daily wear and tear. Im impressed so far and would recommend to freinds.
Review: Wow!!! - TLDR: GET THEM. WORTH IT FOR DAILY GYM LIFE!!! Ok I was skeptical with these because 1. it's a no brand and 2. it's on desertcart. I was on the barefoot market for a very long time trying to research which is worth getting. I saw reviews for the toed-shoes and the ones that are pricey like Vivo Barefoot. I was going to go for the expensive pair, but came across alllll the raving reviews for this shoe. I kind of went in blind hoping that these were decent since desertcart has a lot of bot reviews. but I have to be honest... these are AMAZING for my wide (bunion) feet. I was experiencing a lot of tense muscles/ knots under my feet, even with custom inserts, so I decided to go with barefoot to "train" the muscles in my feet to get stronger on their own without support. I started strength training at the gym with these and omg they're amazing for leg days. My squat form is way better thanks to these. I even use em on the treadmill, but if you run and go long distances, it will probably start making your feet sore. Wear high quality socks and slowly break these in to get the benefits. I don't go to the gym without them anymore. They're solid and have not fallen apart on me yet. It's been about a month or two with them and I can honestly vouch for how legit these are. Heck, try these walking around your home. You'll love them! Super lightweight and comfortable. They also feel more breathable than most sneakers -a true godsend because I also get sweaty extremities!

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Would these shoes be considered nonslip for work places that require that?**
A: NO. Unless a shoe specifically says non-slip… they aren’t.

**Q: Are the sizing chart and instructions accurate? I measured my sons feet and it indicates he would need a size 14 but he usually wears a size 13.**
A: They ran small for me. I wear an 11.5EE in dress shoes and a 12W in trainers/sneakers. I got 12W and they are just a hairs width short... so I'd second their recommendation for a 14 over 13.

**Q: I ordered a size 13 (wide 13 on dropdown) and they showed up with a 47 size label in the shoe, which translates to a 12.5 us size -- not 13 us.  why?**
A: 12.5 is a 46 in eu size. 13 is 47. I don't what chart you found but this is a pretty standard conversion for most brands.

**Q: Can you machine wash these?**
A: Yes, however remove insoles and do not use dryer air fryer is best.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Affordable Barefoot Comfort—My Feet Have Never Felt Better!
*by D***E on March 17, 2025*

I was hesitant at first about these WHITIN barefoot shoes, mostly because I saw how pricey other minimalist shoes could get. But after giving them a try, I have zero regrets—they’ve quickly become my go-to everyday shoe. They're surprisingly comfortable, really lightweight, and breathable, making them perfect for daily activities. I especially appreciate the wide toe box, which lets my toes spread naturally—way more comfy than the tight sneakers I used to wear. They're easy to slip on and feel amazing, even after long days on my feet. Pros: Comfortable & Roomy: Wide toe box lets your toes spread naturally, which feels fantastic, especially if you’re on your feet all day. Affordable Alternative: Way less expensive than high-end brands like Vivo or Xero, but still deliver great quality and feel. Light & Breathable: Super lightweight, so your feet stay cool and comfortable, even in warmer weather or during exercise. Cons: Limited Padding: If you're new to barefoot shoes, it takes some getting used to, and you might feel more impact walking on hard surfaces at first. Adjusting Period: Your feet might need time to adjust to the minimalist design, especially if you’re used to heavily cushioned sneakers. Overall, these shoes are a steal for anyone wanting the barefoot experience without breaking the bank. Perfect for casual wear, gym days, or even just walking around the house. If you're new to barefoot shoes or skeptical about investing big bucks, start here—you'll be pleasantly surprised!
