Did anyone get a pair that did not stink? These shoes are comfortable but I can’t wear them due to the smell.** A: Mine smell so bad, I can't wear them. I am trying to find out how to get rid of the smell so I can wear them. I love the feel of the shoe, but won't wear until I can get rid of the offensive smell--it makes me nauseous. **Q: What is the heal to toe drop?** A: Pretty close to zero. There is no additional layers in the heal part of the sole. Hist a slight amount of padding from the inner sole, which is removable if you really want that "barefoot" feel. You can really feel everything when you are wearing these. **Q: I wear a 6 in street shoes and a 6.5 in athletic shoes. Those don’t appear to come in smaller half sizes. Wondering what size to buy.** A: I wear a size 10 for one foot and a 9 for the other foot. I wear a wrap on the size 10 foot. I got a size 10 and they stretched enough to work for the size 10 foot WITH the brace on. They tighten enough to work for the size 9 foot so they aren't too loose. These shoes stretch, they are not ridged. I love them so, use your best judgment and if they don't work return them for the other size. I might add, I wear these barefoot except for the wrap on one foot, no socks. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great lifting shoes *by A***R on July 19, 2025* Great minimal zero heel drop lifting shoes. Ive been using these for a long time now and they are holding up really well. Ive had people ask about them in the gym and i notice others when they wear a pair too. I love the color, and thin and light these are. I perfered lifting in socks and this was the perfect compromise. I feel like im wearing nothing in the best way. No extra cushioning and easy to slip on. Will be buying another pair when the time comes ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great for light daily wear—super comfy and supportive! *by S*** on May 24, 2025* I don’t wear these all day, but for the few hours I do—whether I’m running errands, on my feet for a part-time shift, or just out for a walk—they’ve been fantastic. I wanted something lightweight, breathable, and supportive without feeling stiff or bulky, and these WHITIN barefoot shoes really deliver.The wide toe box is one of my favorite features. My feet can actually relax and spread out naturally, which feels so much better than being crammed into narrow shoes. The zero-drop sole took a little getting used to, but now I really appreciate how grounded and balanced I feel when I wear them.Even just wearing them for a few hours a day, I’ve noticed less foot fatigue and better posture. Plus, they’re cute in a sporty, simple way—super easy to match with leggings, jeans, or casual outfits.If you’re curious about barefoot-style shoes but don’t need them for full-day wear, I’d still recommend trying these. They're a great intro to minimalist footwear and super budget-friendly compared to other brands. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Most favorite shoes! *by C***E on October 14, 2024* These are my most favorite shoes of all time. I wear them everywhere!I suffered from pretty bad plantar fasciitis for years trying every shoe you could imagine. Nothing really worked. I also had surgery on my left meniscus so my gait is a little off which causes both knee and hip to ache and sometimes my ankle on the surgical side. My dad bought me a pair of barefoot Merrells because he had loved them. I tried them and fell in love, too. But I’m a girl and girls like shoes so while I loved my Merrells I definitely did not love their price point. Then I found WHITIN!These shoes have almost completely ended my plantar fasciitis pain. They are light, they are comfortable and I can’t live without them. They have almost completely ended my knee, hip, and ankle pain, too. Even more comfy than the Merrells. They line my leg up correctly and force me to walk like I should.The only reason I gave them four stars instead of five is because the reflective threads on the pull tab still rub at one ankle. It’s only on one shoe but it’s irritating and it’s only the reflective threads the main tab threads are soft. I ended up cutting the reflective threads out. No biggie.Also, for some reason when I wear these for major walking - we’re talking extreme all day walking at Disneyland or on vacay exploring a city, I blister rubs on the ball of my foot behind my toes. I’ve never had that with any other shoe and it could be a fault in my anatomy or even my odd gait that causes it because it’s on that surgical side that has all the problems. That being said, it only happens when I’m doing extreme walking. Other than those minor problems, these are the best shoes I’ve ever owned and I wear them everywhere - even to church! (I need a solid white with a white sole made!!!)I made the mistake of wearing a different pair of shoes on our last vacation because I was afraid to get the blister on the ball of my foot. Those other shoes chewed my heels to pieces. Two huge and painful blister on each heel! Needless to say, I couldn’t wear those shoes again. Slipped my WHITIN’s on over the hydrocolloid blister bandages and never had a problem. My WHITIN’s didn’t rub or aggravate my blisters at all and I could walk normally for the remainder of the trip. They are awesome!I do have naturally narrow feet but these offer plenty of room for movements without looking like clown shoes. You can feel the road under your feet but I’ve never been bruised from rocks or anything else. The padding is sufficient. They wash well and still look great even after a year and a half of almost constant wear. I love them. I definitely recommend these to everyone! ## Frequently Bought Together - WHITIN Women's Barefoot & Minimalist Shoe | Zero Drop Sole | Trail Runner - Joomra Women's Trail Running Barefoot Shoes | Wide Toe Box Minimalist Sneakers | Zero Drop - WHITIN Women's Minimalist Barefoot Shoes | Zero Drop Sole | Wide Width Fashion Sneaker --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.us/products/216429417-womens-barefoot-and-minimalist-shoe-zero-drop-sole-trail-runner](https://www.desertcart.us/products/216429417-womens-barefoot-and-minimalist-shoe-zero-drop-sole-trail-runner) --- *Product available on Desertcart United States of America* *Store origin: US* *Last updated: 2026-05-17*
