WHITINWomen's Minimalist Barefoot Shoes | Zero Drop Sole | Wide Width Fashion Sneaker

I have very wide, short (8 inches heel-to-toe), and tall (instep) feet, so I was looking for a nice pair of white sneakers that would not squish my toes and allow my feet to move a bit more naturally. I ordered size 6, which fits my feet very well. Since buying these, they have become one of my absolute favorite pairs of shoes, because they are just so comfortable! They are excellent shoes for driving, and I usually forget that I'm wearing them because of how comfortable they are. I wear them on most of my walks, and while they probably wouldn't withstand heavy walking without wearing out the insole, the outer sole is holding up pretty well. Even with the insole, I can feel the different surfaces I'm walking on without feeling like I'd get cut if I stepped on something sharp, which is very nice. My toes have room to spread out and move freely (while my pinky toe cannot spread out fully to the side, it is not squished inward towards the other toes). They are obviously not the first choice for fashionable shoes, but they don't look so much like clown shoes that I feel self-conscious wearing them in public. And I really like how many color options there are! I would not be surprised if I ordered another pair of these in another color, or maybe the ones that are made of canvas material to be a bit warmer for colder months (these ones are quite breathable). I haven't cleaned them yet, but I think they'll be pretty easy to clean. The one thing I don't like so much is that the laces are made of a very synthetic material, which holds the shape of how they were tied when they arrived. I think maybe washing and air-drying them would help with that, but I haven't gotten around to that yet, so they still have some kinks and look a little wonky, but that's a minor thing for me.All in all, I am very happy with this purchase, and I think these are a great value for the price!

I have always worn Brooks athletic running shoes, and I walk on a treadmill 5 days a week for an hour, walk my dogs, and wore them everywhere else too. With my newest pair of Brooks, I noticed that they seemed even more stacked with padding, and I always thought that was a good thing, but now it was throwing me off balance. I started reading about zero drop shoes, and I noticed that my feet feel really good in flat, cheap sandals. Decided to try these for the good price, and they feel GREAT! I think my foot shape really needed flat shoes. I like the wide toe box. My toes can spread out. I wore these to do planks, stretches, and squats, and they are very stable. I can feel a huge difference between my brooks running shoes and these flat shoes. It feels so good to let my heels sit naturally on the floor with these whitin shoes. It feels like my back is comfortably straight, and my steps are sure. I don’t know how durable they will be yet, but I plan to wear them everywhere.

Shoes are fine overall; however, unless it’s broken in, I would advise against wearing it for a trip that requires a lot of walking.I bought before my Japan trip and after 3 days of wearing it and walking 20-30k steps a day, my feet, calves and back were jacked up.

If you are uncertain if you should try these out, go for it and buy a pair!I went back and forth for a month and finally bought a pair and I'm so happy with them.I was a little worried about the sizing, I'm usually a women's 9 and I have wide feet, but I went ahead and ordered a 9 wide and they are perfect.I can't speak to durability (only had them for 24 hours but couldn't wait to write a review) but I wore them all day yesterday- through various terrains-and I love a pair of shoes that doesn't feel like it needs to be broken in.I can't speak to long-term effects of reducing back/knee pain but I have read some reviews with those reports so I'm looking forward to seeing if they help!Not to mention they are cute and stylish! I just love them. I will definitely buy another pair in another color in the future.-Emma

**These photos are after consistent, daily use for over 1 year**I have worn these shoes daily for over a year (this also includes outdoor lunch walks 1+ mile per day). They are definitely pretty worn down, but I would say for the price, they are worth it. The grip isn't the best, I have slipped a few times in them, but that was also during winter when it was icy and these probably weren't the most appropriate shoes for the situation. Comfort wise, their wide toe box is unmatched. I think with my next pair, I might swap out for an insole with a tad more cushion, but that is probably more of a personal preference and less about the product quality. Overall, would recommend if you're looking for a barefoot trainer!

IF the shoe would have had sufficient memory foam support on the bottom of it, I would have kept these shoes and likely given them 5 stars. For some who are wanting the earth-type-grounding shoe, these might be perfect. But I have neuropathy and the lack of padding literally lit my soles on fire within 20 minutes. If YOU have neuropathy, though, you know that each situation--and each shoe design--is different. On the flip, the toe box is sensational. The shoe's VERY lightweight as well. And the material it's made of "breathes" a bit (but not enough to put out the fire of my nerves screaming).

Just dipping my toe into the barefoot shoe world and ordered these because they were well reviewed. The shoes seem well made and are comfortable. I typically wear a 5.5 in dress shoes, 6 in sneakers and ordered these in a 6W which seem just right.I’ll mostly wear these for walking the dog so I outfitted them with a pair of blue elastic laces for easy on/off and I think they look cute!
