Wow, so comfortable, great for neuropathy
Edit: (I have not taken these shoes off in a week except to sleep) Read the reviews, thanks guys, was looking forward to trying these. I live in Florida, so you don't need much, but I also need protection because of peripheral neuropathy. I was wondering how good these shoes would be. Wow, so comfortable, kinda plush actually. Fit firmly to the feet with plenty of things to adjust the fit of the shoe. Holds the foot very well without a lot of pressure. Some shoes you have to tighten here or there to make them fit, but not these. You know they are there and on, but barely. I can't comment on water resistantance, I have cheap shoes for the ocean, just glad to know they can handle water. The insoles are ok, I see what other reviewers are referring to. They are comfortable, don't get me wrong, but a good pair of insoles when the factory ones wear out will be nice. If you're like me, I was hesitant to try the good minimalist water resistant shoes. I have some of the cheap ones, and I thought, how can someone run over terrain in these? I get it now, these are worth the extra dollars, way worth it. The fit, the comfort and they look kinda cool. I would get cheaper tennis shoes to kick around the house and work outside. I seem to sacrifice something with the cheap shoes, I am going to get another pair of these. You don't have to sacrifice anything with these shoes, they are great.

Free The Toes!
These are fantastic! I was leery when they arrived shrink-wrapped instead of in a box. Toes can splay out comfortably and naturally but the shoe is not am overall sloppy, wide fit. Lacing and Velcro fastener provide good adjustment. Feet have never felt better. Good for walking both street and trails. Summers get over 100º here and these are very breathable. I bought a half-size up to wear with socks. Have two pair. Have also gifted a pair. Well made. Super flexible sole. Zero drop. As close to barefoot as you can get. Price has gone up about $10 since I got mine - hopefully they drop back to around $30.

Excellent shoes at the $30-$40 price range
Love these shoes for the price point. I can always find someone to pick about with shoes, so don't let the minus 1 start fool you I picked up my 1st pair of Whitin's just over a year ago and I still wear them. Just before that I started with another even cheaper version from another manufacturer. For the price point, I didn't know if you can get better, but yes you can get better. Pros: • durable enough to wear daily for a year+ and not wear out • inexpensive • very comfortable • true to size • all the normal barefoot benefits Cons: • they come with a minimally raised heel insole, hence not true zero drop, but close. Regardless, I prefer thinner and zero drop, so I take them out and put in a cheap pair of cotton or other barefoot style insole. I really wish they would come up with a version with thinner zero drop insoles, as it would probably save them and me money. • I'd love to see a puncture proof sole. I've never puncture these yet, but I am confident they're not puncture proof. • I would love it if they improved the inner lining beneath the insole. I often would just like to have no insole at all, but the stitching and materials inside, while useable, are clearly not intended for this purpose, leaving room for improvement. All in all, I would and have recommended these to many. For this price, you should say least try out barefoot shoes, and the "beginner insoles" they come with might be a pro for you if you're new to this style. I've purchased 4 total now, when I find them on sale for even better price points, 1 for my wife 1 for keeping a clean pair, and for when I wear out my original pair. I will buy again, but I also may look for an upgrade to these if they don't have newer options when my next time for replacement comes.

Surprisingly Fantastic
These shoes are simply wonderful. I have an old pair of vibram five fingers that I love, but I started trail running and found they don't have enough padding for running on rough gravel or an acorn littered trail. Perhaps my feet would have eventually adjusted, but I'm running many miles and don't want to cause bone bruising or other damage to my feet. These WHITIN shoes are just what I needed. They have more padding, allowing me to run on sharp gravel comfortably, while still allowing my feet to move naturally, in a way that "traditional" shoes don't. They're also nice and wide in the forefoot and toe, which matches the natural shape of my feet. At least 99% of shoes are too narrow in the front and hurt my wide feet. If that sounds picky, I'm running 8-20 miles at a time, so any "small" problems with a shoe quickly magnify out to major problems. In short, these shoes are incredibly comfortable, provide the padding needed for trail running, and are surprisingly cheap compared to the competition. My only complaint is that I don't "feel the ground" as much as with my vibram five fingers. This downside can be somewhat alleviated though by simply using the shoes without the inserts. Note: If you're new to minimalist shoes, these will likely be perfect for you, since they have more padding than many others. Still, take time to let your body adjust. And know that, in the long run, you're actually less likely to injure yourself than with all the heavily padded conventional running shoes. Why? You can't just keep pounding the ground (causing stress injuries) because now that actually hurts. Your gait and foot strike will adjust, consciously or unconsciously, so that you land on the ground more lightly and distribute the force of impact more effectively. This will help not just your feet, but your ankles, knees, and hips too. I all but gave up running years ago because I kept suffering from injury and pain. Now, with minimalist shoes, I no longer worry about injury and can go for a 20 mile trail run without pain or swelling afterward!

Zapato favorito cómodo, muy bien hecho, es posible que no lo use para correr ya que el acolchado es más bajo que el promedio de un zapato para correr, pero podría correr descalzo ya que los dedos de los pies se extienden bien y la suela es de muy buena calidad.
