WHITIN Wide Toe Box Barefoot Sneakers for Women | Lightweight Canvas Minimalist Shoes

They’ve seen plenty of miles with my kids already these past 3 weeks. They are a great every day shoe around the house, too. Comfy, secure, durable, cute.

I actually enjoy these more than my 140$ onclouds. I’m very picky about my shoes and as a lifter I need something I can spread my toes in. This is exactly that. It’s roomy, breathable, light and comfortable enough for me to stand in for my 10hr shifts at the hospital. They aren’t super cute in my opinion but for functionality it’s worth the price. They have great traction and are pretty good quality for the price. The material isn’t super thick and honestly my biggest complaint is that since the top is only fabric it’s hard to just slip on without the back end giving a little trouble but that’s a small price to pay for the comfort.

I like the style. They look like Spl@y knockoffs, and more interesting on the foot than the other casual sneaker styles of Whitins that look like plain blobs when worn in white. They are very flexible and offer ample toe space side to side. I am barefoot at home most of the time and do yoga daily and am able to move my toes and feet almost as freely as if I was barefoot. Minimal padding which is to be expected. I will be buying Northsole insoles to help with this as I'm on pavement a lot (they are not on Amazon). Grippy soles with good tread. They squeak on linoleum sometimes. Mine had cosmetic stitching defects on the toe cap stitching - one was rounder than the other. READ THE SIZING CHART CAREFULLY. You will likely want to go half a size up otherwise your toes will rub against the ends. I am returning them for a 9.5 instead of a 9. Honestly I thought I was going to hate them despite my desire for them. They made my heels sore standing around in my home, but I used them on a walk today and then chased after my daughter at the playground and had no issues at all. In fact I brought my other white sneakers, flexible yet narrow R33bok Pr1ncess, to do a side by side comparison and it was noticeable how much more space I have in these. I had to take the R33bok off and put these back on. Wore them to the store for a weeks worth of shopping and toddler drama too. At the end of my time out with these today my arches were sore similar to if I had begun a running program and wasn't used to it. But I had no other pain and the foot fatigue subsided in about 10 minutes after going fully barefoot - usually shoe induced foot pain lasts me days and extends throughout my body. Soooo other than the sizing issue I guess I'm keeping these! With special insoles added of course.

These are my favorite shoes because they're so affordable, they're pretty durable, and they look nice. I don't have to add insoles anymore after my feet adjusted to them, but you might if you stand on concrete and such. I'm so glad my toes aren't squished in regular shoes anymore. I wish someday they would make leather ballet flats, but all their sneakers are great.

Amazing shoes for wide toe box! Super cute and comfy. So glad I decided to buy these!

Overall these have been very comfortable. The sizing was a bit off, as my usual size turned out to be pretty tight on me even if I removed the inserts (EU 41) but the next size up (EU 42) is fairly loose. It seems as though they need to make the size gap between those two adjacent sizes a little less, or they should offer a between-size option. The laces are not great quality and have already started fraying, as have a few other parts of the shoe, and I've had them less than 2 months. Nothing has completely fallen apart though and I'm curious to see how long they actually hold together. The sole of the shoe is a nice grippy material which provides great traction. The only downside is that it squeaks and screeches horribly if you are walking on hard surfaces such as grocery store floors or tile floors or even hardwood floors. If it doesn't bother you to occasionally hear your shoes let out the death shriek of the beasts of the Nazgul, then these are for you. The canvas is a lovely texture. Unfortunately it seems to collect all the dirt without the benefit of allowing any air through, so despite not being waterproof in the slightest, the shoes will keep your feet extremely moist and sweaty no matter what socks you pair with them. And they'll look years old after wearing them for a week. The inserts provide a surprising amount of cushion for how thin they are. I would like them a lot if they did not keep sliding out from under my feet as I walk, inching up the back of the shoe and creating a most aggravating discomfort under the toes where the tip of the insert rubs against them. (See pictures of the insert slid up against the heel of the shoe.) We've glued the inserts in one pair with shoe glue and that has worked great, so if you're ready to sink some extra money into making the inserts functional, bully for you I guess. The shoes have really been extremely comfortable right from the get-go, but they do seem to have some glaring problems and aren't the highest quality. At all. By the time you buy new laces for them and shoe glue for the inserts you might as well just buy a pair from Saguaro or Splay or Wildling or Vivobarefoot or something. Maybe that's an exaggeration, but I honestly was not expecting all of these issues, and I probably won't buy these shoes again unless they get some improvements.

Bought these to wear on vacation. I thought they were cute and I hoped they would accommodate no-show socks without them pulling down into the shoe. They worked out great and while I wish they were maybe a half-size larger I'm pretty happy with the fit. When wearing them with jeans I have to fold up the backs of the pant legs so I don't step on them.

This is my second pair of whitins, but my first pair in this style. Pros: this style runs slightly larger than their more basic cotton canvas shoe, which is a huge advantage because I wear an 8.5, which falls right in between two sizes for this brand. My feet are not wide, so I opted to size down in the basic style, and that was *just* a little cramped for my big toe - which meant the next size up was going to feel really loose. This style, presumably because of its slightly different construction, has a little more room in the toe, letting me size down comfortably. Color-specific con: the light beige is much more of an off-white/yellow than it is a tan/beige. It doesn't not-suit my skin tone, so I kept them and sprayed on some camp dry, but even with that precaution they get HELLA dirty like white shoes do (tan/beige colored shoes generally fare better, and that's what I'd been expecting from the product photos). My primary complaint, and it's a biggie: they have placed a vinyl materials/sizing sticker on the underside of the tongue, right up near the ankle where it will rub your skin and cause irritation/blisters if you wear no-show style socks (something of a given for this style). (See photos.) They did this in the basic canvas style as well, but the stickers pulled free from the bare canvas easily. In this style, they have added cushion to the underside of the tongue, which, in theory, is great, but now the sticker doesn't pull free - when you attempt to get it off, it delaminates, still leaving an irritating vinyl adhesive layer behind. This issue makes the shoe essentially unwearable. Next, I'm going to try to use a blow dryer to soften the adhesive with heat, see if I can get it to pull away, but I'm going to need to be careful with the heat as the lining seems very synthetic, so I'm skeptical of it working very well. This sticker could've gone literally anywhere else inside the shoe and not presented a problem - what were they thinking?? 🤦‍♀️
