5.0 out of 5 stars Gone, but not forgotten
I just retired just a after nearly a year of casual use, and my review is 99% positive. They're very comfortable, well-constructed (the soles started wearing down a couple months ago, but the uppers still look new- no tears and all the seams are as tight as the day I got them). The price is right, too- for $43, I definitely got my money's worth, and it's a great way to see if barefoot shoes are for you. This was my first pair of barefoot shoes, but adjusting to them from fat-heeled, cushy Hokas was surprisingly painless. If you plan on actually running in them, probably stick to offroad- The soles are flexible and very thin, with no cushioning: you'll definitely feel it if you pound the pavement or step on a rock. That's my only complaint, and it applies to barefoot shoes in general, not just these.I've since purchased a couple other brands of barefoot/zero drop shoes, and where these Whitins really shine are the fit and style. Barefoot shoes should move with your feet, which these do very well- the sloes flex effortlessly and the uppers have just the right balance of padding and rigidity to lock on to my heels and stay comfortably in place through my stride. Even with thin socks, they never chaffed. I tried a different, more expensive Bolo-exclusive brand of barefoot trainers and my heel would lift nearly half-way out of them when I walked.If you're comparison shopping, you've probably noticed that this type of shoe has a wide toe box, which tends to give them an unflattering "clown shoe" vibe (seller's pictures tend to show their product at only flattering angles, but if you look at user review photos, you'll see it). The model I bought-WHITIN Men's Barefoot Running Shoes | Minimalist Cross-Trainer| - is just as wide as the others, but the wrap-around soles and the placement/shape of those plastic side panels gives them a *much * slimmer appearance.I couldn't be happier with my purchase and will definitely be getting another pair soon!
5.0 out of 5 stars Love them
I was weary due to seeing some negative reviews, but, I love them! Great price and good quality. They are extremely comfortable and they fit perfectly. They definitely give plenty of room for your toes but don’t look boxy. They look really nice on and slip on and off super quickly and easily.
4.0 out of 5 stars Great casual shoes but I don't like working out in them
I initially got these to test out in the gym but found out that I needed something that was a little more secure around the heel area. These are incredibly comfortable but they are also really flimsy/flexible so it is hard to make quick movements in them and feel secure. These would probably be great for running on a treadmill where everything is in a straight line but I wouldn't recommend them if you like to do a lot of quick lateral movements. With that being said, I love these as casual shoes and wear them all the time. They are breathable and surprisingly comfortable for a minimalist shoe.
5.0 out of 5 stars Great shoes
Got these for my son to wear while he trains on his ERG. He wears a size 12 and size 12 fit him perfectly. He likes how they are lightweight and flexible but still comfortable. He really gets a sweat going when he is training and says that these shoes breathe well. We'll see how they last. He flexes them quite a bite while rowing.If anything changes, I will update the review.
3.0 out of 5 stars Not Bad, compared to the other 2 I Got
these were a pair bought along with 2 others and probably is the best out of them, The other 2 came damaged and were poorly constructed but were from the same company WHITTIN. These compared to the Whittin trail minimalist toe box gym shoes and the whittin minimalist fashion sneakers these had the least amount of room in the toe area although they are still pretty wide in the front, they fit much better around the bridge of the foot then the other 2 where those were choking and way too small these were actually comfortable, inspecting the shoes the same way I did the other 2 I did not see the same issues (damage and loose stitching)Pro:cheapdecent constructioncomfortable enoughCon:not as wide in the toe area as there other 2 products that were tried with and neededplastic on the lacing area extends too far forward and will sometimes put too much pressure on the the joint around the pinky toe
5.0 out of 5 stars Very Comfortable
I normally wear a size 13 however I thought I’d order the 12 1/2 ( did not offer 13) and because they’re wider in the toe area they fit perfect !! I really love the quality and the look . I’m surprised how comfortable they feel well padded, however not thick…. I’ll use them in the gym and see how they hold up. I might even order another color I like these so much …..Michael , Coos Bay, Oregon. 👌😘
5.0 out of 5 stars Great shoes, takes some time to get used to.
My first time using zero drop shoes. It's definitely a different experience and feeling than wearing other shoes. Used them for running and it's like running barefooted. I can actually feel the ground. My calves were burning after a run, but it felt good like they we're actually being used like they're supposed to. My feet also felt better after the run compared to using other running shoes. I didn't get blisters after running 5 miles. Felt more natural with my feet striking the ground instead of being supported by memory foam. These shoes are like wearing socks with a sole at the bottom. Definitely worth a try and for the price it's a steal. I wear a size 10 U.S, so I got the size 43. It fit perfectly snug, so if you want a little more room in the front of your toes I suggest going a size up, but if you want a snug fit buy the exact size. The material is stretchy, so even if it fits tight it will stretch. It does feel a bit tight in the beginning, but after the run I didn't even notice.Edit: So I ripped one of the top shoe lace loop holes. This was my mistake as I pulled hard to get the shoe really tight, but in the process the rubber ripped. Just putting this note here to let others know to not pull too hard or you can rip the rubber with the shoe lace. All in all still a great shoe. I'm going to fix it with some super glue.
Comfortable bearfoot style shoes, toe box not as wide as some other models
Happy with these shoes for the price, though the toe box isn't as wide as on some other models here on Bolo. The positive side of that is that they look more like "normal" shoes. Recommended.
Quality ✅ Price ✅
They are comfortable, and durable. I have had them for a while now and wore them every where from the gym to the mountains
Comfortable but fits big
I'd say order a size down. I ordered a size 12, which is my size, and it definitely fits loosely.Nice design to it, and comfortable to wear
Love it
Love these things. Would definitely buy more
Excelentes
Muy cómodos, excelentes para el gimnasio y para caminar
