I LOVE mine for walking. Actually the best walking shoes I've ever had. Haven't run in them yet.

[randybowman]

I've hiked and trail ran in the canvas ones many times. I actually have two different pairs that I change out and both are mixed use between casual, gym, trail running, street running, walking, and hiking. Both have lasted 4-5 years or so, though one has a paper thin sole with a small hole in it now. They were my first barefoot shoes, and before them the issue I always ran into was that the sides of my converse would split way before the sole had reached the end of it's lifespan.

I've had plantar fasciitis for almost a year- a huge loss of quality of life. I bought those shoes AND IN ONE WEEKEND- I felt so much better!!!!

I've put over a hundred miles on these things in the last year, as well as multiple trips through a river. They're okay for the money, the insoles are not holding up good and they look ugly as sin, but the soles are great and they haven't tried to delaminate in the slightest. Vey comfortable for larger feet.

I can't say enough good things about these shoes. I purchased the ones with the name 'WHITIN Men's Barefoot Trail-Running Shoes | Wide Toe-Box | Zero-Drop Sole | Optimal Traction' They've got a bit more of an aggressive tread pattern and flex to them than this.

I used to run in a pair of high support 6E. New-balances. After 1/4 mile my feet would start throbbing on the sides and it would move into my ankles and knees quickly.


Purchased these a week ago, went on a test run and have zero pain. My cardio fitness is now improving because that is the limit on my runs not my feet. They've been incredible and i'm thinking about picking up a few pairs to have as spares for when these wear out.


Planning to evaluate wear at 100, 200, 300, 400 miles if they last that long. I will report back here at each interval!

I have these. I've worn the same pair for 4 years and they're still going strong.

I got Whitin because due to my shoe size, I don’t have many options only minimalist or barefoot shoes, it was one of the only or only barefoot/minimalist shoes I found in my size

[junbug]

I got my first pair yesterday and wore them all day! I usually am barefoot and have been searching for comfortable shoes for when I need them. I’ve returned five pairs of other shoes. Last night I ordered a second pair of Whitin minimalist shoes! I have severe lumbar and cervical degeneration and regular shoes hurt my back.

Mine are wonderful for everyday stompers. So nice to pop in to them after 12 hr shifts in steel toe boots. I wish some company would make foot shaped steel toe boots.

[mps]

I bought them because this time of year when I'm always working outside in my personal garden and that being said I have tendency to get my shoes wet and dirty. I could wear boots but I wear boots 5 day's a week for my job and well I'm trying to find affordable footwear options and save my feet more these days.

Wore mine on a four and a half hike up a mountain and they held up well.

Thanks for the review! I may have to try them myself.

[Usiris]

Love mine and for the price, it’s an unbeatable deal, especially after how my feet feel 🥰

[xenonnati]

I tried a few barefoot brands, most suck ngl, currently i love my vibram fivefingers, they were the best ones i found, just ordered 2 of these (under the hobibear brand but same shoe) for literally HALF the price of my vibrams (2 for 50$, vs 100$ for my 1 pair vibrams)
Very curious how they compare.

[jimmyjohnjuan]

just got some. they became my favorite shoe or atleast top 2. I have a wide foot and assume they would be a little tight but assume they would stretch and but fine for the gym. was I wrong. they are wide enough that the stretch factor does not matter.

[christinagordon]

I’m used to driving barefoot, I feel the pedals better that way… can you recommend a barefoot shoes to me with very thin soles?

[joerussell]

How about if you walk a minimum of 10 miles in a urban area

[pawballer]

What are the ones that you have hanging from your neck? Also, are they wide toe box (super important)?

[utubepunk]

What do you think of the WHITIN Zero Drop Running Shoes?

[snackoncierge]

Hobibear.... literally get what you pay for. I like that they are cheap and i am getting into them better. The walking around these are great. If you stand in an area alot just get a mat.
