Review: There's just no better value out there in minimalist casual shoes - What can I say? I have about 6 pairs of Whitin sneakers now. They're not the lightest barefoot shoe on the market, but they're not really any heavier than a Puma running shoe. The soles are flexible, with good traction in the wet, without being so thin that I feel every stone I step on along the sidewalk. If you're looking to read braille with your feet, these are not the shoes for you. If you're looking for something that doesn't force your knees into a position that certainly makes mine hurt when running or walking, then these are the absolute jam. The colors are great, the sizes are exactly what I expected (if you're new to barefoot, I would go down about half a size from what you're used to), and they just haven't fallen apart. Any early discomfort from my first pair has long since been designed out with subsequent pairs that I've bought and worn. They're just comfortable, don't look like a 'barefoot shoe', and are a great value.
Review: Amazing comfortable inexpensive well made shoes. - All describing words I used in the title apply. These shoes are amazing. I took them to Red Rock in the Mojave and they held up with no problem (or scuffing, even!) to my cuckoo self clambering over rocks and jumping off of boulders. Quick dust busting (I used compressed air but you could definitely use a dust feather or small vacuum) later and they were very much the original black color. Grip is amazing (and pleasantly squeaky on the concrete floors at Home Depot). Fit is like a sock. *Important* The thin insoles they come with really really really help the adjustment period from full cushion to zero drop cushionlessness. I kept mine in and my feet feel so much stronger already. Highly recommend a waterproofing spray but I just took a plain paraffin wax candle and rubbed it all over the upper. After the whole upper was sufficiently waxed (removing the laces really helps!), the color was white from the wax. I took a hair dryer, turned it on high heat, and warmed the shoes with it. The wax melted and it's a very solid natural long lasting waterproofing finish. Highly recommend these. Update: One little thing I really don't like is they're not as wide as I would like barefoot shoes to be. My feet are supposed to have more room to spread out but the shoes are 'normal' width. Keep this in mind. No other problems.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Comfortable Shoe, GREAT Pet Hair Carpet Tool (Not Kidding!)
*by D***N on December 29, 2025*

I wanted a lightweight canvas sneaker, and tried these. I swapped out the inner cushion for my preferred sport orthotic. Very comfortable, except when standing for long periods. The wide toe box means you can wiggle your toes and the canvas means your feet can breathe. ***The unexpected benefit of these shoes was discovered one day while dragging my foot on the carpet. The rubber material of shoe bottom immediately balled up some of our longhair cat's fine hair that was clinging to the carpet surface. This type of fine hair creates a white haze all over and my commercial vacuum with a powerhead doesn't pick it up. The best option is a carpet doctor but I am not doing that every few months. For maintenance cleaning, I've been using pet hair rakes which require a lot of elbow grease. This was half the effort for the same level of hair removal. I covered our medium pile 9x12 area rug in about 15 minutes. It's still a workout, but less so, and every bit as effective as the various pet hair rakes or carpet gleaning tools you find on Amazon. If you are looking for shoes AND have a pet that sheds fine hair, this is a double whammy.
