- Men's Wide Toe Box Barefoot Shoes Minimalist Sneakers W882

These whitins are my favorite barefoot/zero drop/wide box shoes. I currently own 3 pair, and gave a 4th pair to a friend. My wife has 2 pair as well. I've tried the mesh version and didn't like it as much. I felt the mesh style fabric didn't hug my foot right, and always ended up binding at the laces. These canvas models are the way to go. I actually like them better the more worn in they get. I've also found that washing them helps loosen them up a bit and makes them fit more snug and comfortably. Out of all the pairs I have, I wear this brown pair the most. Almost daily wear for over a year and they're still holding up without any structural issues or failures. I've worn them at the gym, and they work well for squatting and other exercises. I'm not a huge fan of running in barefoot shoes though. They fit like a glove and are well worth the money.

I needed a new every-day shoe to beat around town, but didn't want to spend a lot. I usually wear a 10.5 in most shoes, have somewhere between a 3E and 4E wide foot, plus a high instep while also being flat footed. These didn't come in half sizes above 9.5, so I went with the size 11. It fit me 90% well. Not perfect but close. The length was good, the toe box was roomy, my instep was comfortable, however I feel a slight bit of tightness on the sides of my midfoot (I wear these with socks). After 5 to 10 minutes I don't even think about it. Oh, and also there isnt arch support, which is great for my foot shape. These have been my "around-town beaters", and primary gym shoes for a year. I've gone on plenty of walks in these, and have racked up some miles. I am super impressed with them and how they've held up. They've been pretty comfy this whole time with good padding around the ankle, The sole is still going strong, with just the usual wear. Nothing is wearing through on the sole or upper...and all the sewing and glued areas of the shoe remain in good condition. I could get another year out of these shoes easily. I would definitely say buy these. Even if you are unsure, buy them because for the price, as you don't lose much if you don't love them. I've been buying barefoot shoes for a few years, and it's nice to have some cheaper options when compared to the usual popular "name brands". I gotta give Whitin credit for showing me that cheap barefoot shoes are available and punch above their weight. I am very pleased.

These are exponentially better than the more expensive brands. I exclusively wear bear foot sandals (Luna and Earth runners); but, occasionally I need a pair of shoes. These appear to be better quality than Xero shoes that I have purchased for 3X the price. They are much wider (which I love!). I find Xero shoes to be no wider than a regular shoe. My go to size to order is 11.5 in most shoes; I went with size 12 in these. They are a perfect fit. I have not worn these out. My initial try-on thoughts: Plenty of room for toe splay. I walk with my toes extending up and reaching far on the step-up. These seem to have plenty of room for me. I normally have a big problem with my toes feeling cramped in a short toebox. I feel my foot can move the way it does in my sandals in these shoes. They look pretty sharp. I have had a difficult time merging style and function in the past several years since I went exclusively to bearfoot shoes. These look good! The canvas seems breathable and moveable. They do not have the typical “clown shoe” appearance. I plan to use these for walking on concrete on my visit to cities. I plan to wear the insole, which is very comfortable so far. You will not have full ground feel, there is a bit of cushion, which is what I was looking for. For those reviewers saying they don’t have enough arch support: That is the point of bearfoot shoes. I can not speak to longevity or long term wear. I will date after testing them out for a while. The only reason I give 4 stars, is because I don’t know how well they will hold up to a lot of use. I’m hoping they can last me a summer. I recommend trying these out.

2nd pair of Whitin shoes and very happy. I like the W882 even better than the others. Super comfortable and exactly as advertised. Size 12 is my normal and fits fine. Will order more in the future. Can’t beat the $40 price point.

I found these shoes to be okay, because they don't provide a lot of arch support. I won't be wearing them on any long walking activities, but they are okay for around the house and yard.

I bought 4 pair total. That was less than my last single pair of Nike! I am an old guy that has jogged for 60 years. I walk now! These fit well and have good colors available. Plenty wide and my normal size was perfect. There is no rise in the heel. I wear to the gym I belong to but also anywhere i go if i dress casual.

These are the best sneakers I’ve ever worn. Since transitioning to no-drop wide toe box footwear my back pain is gone. This is my second pair. My first pair, the grey ones that I bought about 3 years ago are still in great shape. I wore them about half the time I wore shoes. They have been to the beach, garden and city walking. I confess I do not untie my shoes. They have also been washed many times. I do not put them in the dryer. Except for some wear of the soles and stretched opening they are still great. The canvas has become soft without being torn or compromised in any stitching. Love them! Now I have two pairs.

My usual shoe size: US 11.5-12 (women’s) Ordered: US 11 / EU 45 (men’s), WHITE I just got them, so I can’t comment on long term comfort or durability. But so far, they are very comfortable! I don’t have super wide feet from sole to heel, but I’ve been wanting a little more space in the toe box area for my bunions and wiggle room for my toes (apparently that’s part of why I have bunions. Who’da thunk). These fit great for what I was wanting! It blows my mind how many people gave these a low rating because of how wide they are. THAT’S LITERALLY THE WHOLE ENTIRE POINT. If you aren’t intentionally shopping for “wide toe box” shoes for a good healthy toe splay (google it), then these probably wouldn’t be a good fit for you! 🙂 I personally like the look of the wider, rounded toe. I’m 6’ and have larger feet than the average woman (thanks mom), so I always think sneakers with a narrow toe makes my feet look long and funny. iiii think the width makes them look more proportional to my body and not “clown like” at all. But that’s just my opinion! I would say the canvas color is a true, clean, bright white. The laces and patch on the heel are a bit more cream…which I love! I docked one star for the outer toe area being caved in on both shoes. It was hard to capture in a picture, but they are just smashed in. I’m sure it was an issue with how tightly they were packaged together, and they’ll hopefully loosen up to their original shape with time and wear. I might stuff something in them to speed up the re-shaping process a little. It’s not a huge deal, nor is it a deal breaker…I just think a brand new pair of shoes should arrive good to go and ready to wear! 🙂 All that being said, I would probably purchase them again. Even if they only last me a little while, you get what you pay for and the price was right for me! Hope this helps someone.

Bought these for my husband, who is new to barefoot shoes, and he really likes them. He says they are comfortable. I did go up a size for him - he normally wears a 12, but with barefoot shoes I normally go up a size, so I got him 13 (the largest size available), and he says they are perfect.

Me gustó mucho el diseño y el color, son demasiado cómodos es sin duda la mejor opción

No se ven espectaculares y si se notan cuadrados pero ey, por el precio son de buena calidad, perfectamente amplios para abrir los dedos del pie y, si estás acostumbrado a andar descalzo o usar calzado minimalista, son bastante cómodos. Muy recomendables.

Buena opción para comenzar con el barefoot

el color, diseño y calidad d los materiales es excelente. quizá lo único que se puede mejorar es agregando plantillas más suaves de gel, memory foam, etc... pero el resto es una maravilla. cuál más persona queda encantado con lo bonito que son, a pesar de ser tipo barefoot... excelentes zapatos
