Men's Wide Hi-top Minimalist Barefoot Sneakers | Zero Drop Sole | Cushioned Ankle Support

Love the fit and feel of these shoes. The high-top feels great around the angle and my toes have room to move around. If you have wide feet, this is the way. Lightweight construction and great for business casual. Not a particularly rugged shoe but its well worth the price. I purchased 3 others pairs from Whitin last year and will continue to buy more. If you have diabetic foot pain or plantar fasciitis, these are probably not for you.

These are perfect drumming shoes IMO. Simple, minimalist design, they feel kinda like halfway between wearing extra thin and lightweight Chucks and a pair of house slippers. Very flexible and thin sole feels almost like playing barefoot. The ankle can be cinched down if you like more ankle support, but personally I'm tying them a bit loose and they stay put very comfortably but give me a really good range of motion for things like fast doubles. The wide toebox give my toes plenty of space to really feel solidly rooted to the pedals. And they aren't ugly either, just look like old-school Vans if you aren't looking too closely. I've got wide and flat "hobbit feet," usually wear 10.5 Wide and my toes still feel squished in most shoes, when I can I try to buy EEE. The 11 Wides fit perfectly and don't rub against the sides of my toes AT ALL. Just get these if you're a drummer looking for minimalist/wrestling type shoes and don't wanna drop the $100+ for the overpriced name brand minimalist shoes advertised on social media.

I got the high-top black canvas black sole. I normally buy 11 or 11.5 (44 or 45). I ordered the 11, as there was no half size option. They sent me a 45. Right out of the box fits well and is very comfortable. At just under $50, I figured these would be a cheap temporary summertime barefoot shoe while I figure out something better. Right out of the box they are more comfortable and better toe box than my $200+ Lems. They're like a classic Vans with more toe room and a more barefoot feeling sole, which is exactly what I was hoping for. _ Pros: Lower end of the price range for a barefoot shoe. Comfortable right out of the box before even breaking them in. Good room in the toe box without looking like clown shoes. Super light weight, flexible, and very good ground feel. Breathable, like you're barely wearing a shoe. They dry quick. Good grip on the sole, even in wet conditions. Seems like the sole may end up holding up better than the other barefoot shoes I mentioned. They look nice, like a classic Vans vibe. _ Cons: The canvas is not at all water resistant, even walking thru damp grass my socks got wet (I may try waterproofing or waxing them) The tongue is pretty short, it would be better if it was a bit more substantial. The rubber stinks, but hopefully this will fade. The insoles seem pretty flimsy, I may end up swapping them out. _ Neutral: The laces are suuuper long. This could be a pro or a con, but I have to wrap the laces around the ankle so that the excess doesn't hang down to the ground, even with double knots. _ Overall, they seem pretty decent and quite comfortable super minimal barefoot shoe for warm dry weather. We'll see how long they last. If they end up being durable I am considering buying a second pair.

Shoes and shoe sizes are my nightmare zone … and with neuro drop-foot, my shoe needs to accomodate an orthotic brace for ankle. When all others hurt, pinch, feel too clunky, these are go-to for ease and comfort — without the brace! Hightop provides just enough support for casual, round the house work with light barefoot feel. $30? A steal.

I should've returned it, they look so much better in pictures. Not really that comfortable as the sole is thin

I like the style. The white is more eggshell then bright white. Just had me first workout in them. They run a bit large. I’m about 10.5 normally I get 11 because barefoot shoes usually don’t come in 1/2 sizes. Kind of wish I would have gotten size 10.

I went with the 12-wide and absolutely love them. Super comfortable, and I dig the minimalist design. These will definitely not be my last pair. Great purchase 5/5.

I have several Whitin shoes— mostly lace up “Keds” type of sneakers. I like the vibe of these. Zero drop & a roomie toebox is critical because I have very wide feet. They’re definitely not as wide as the Whitin slip on that I also just purchased. Compared with my leather lace up boots, they’re a bit of a hassle to get on / off. However, my biggest issue is that they make my feet sweat. Everybody's feet sweat, but I had them on for 5 hours & the tops of my toes actually looked a whiter & felt damp — like they would getting out of the ocean or a bath. I’ve not had this problem w/ leather shoes or with my other Whitins. Because they canvas, I assumed they’re cotton. But I wonder if they’re polyester canvas, which I didn’t know existed. So, I don’t think I’ll reach for these all that often compared with other boots but I’m glad to support an affordable shoe brand that makes wide zero drop shoes.

Si tienes el pie ancho y alto el empeine, es ideal para ti. Excelente

I'm a 12 or 13 depending on the brand. I bought these in a 13 and they just fit me, just. Nice and comfy and somewhat warm. I will be using these during the winter, just need to waterproof the canvas.

Sizes as stated. True zero drop and zero additional arch support with good ankle support. Best part of Barefoot, Zero Drop shoes I have worn. And I have been training for a half marathon and these have been my shoes for that training venture. I've even ran a 5K race in them. I was the only runner with barefoot or zero drop shoes there out of the 200 runners. I would highly recommend these shoe.

Great barefoot shoes!

I'll be using these for dancing shoes. I'm wearing my own insoles with them. I purposely ordered 2 (NA) sizes larger than recommended - last time I ordered the correct size (same brand, different model) and they were too tight, but I didn't arrange to return until it was too late, so I'm stuck with them). These fit. They do feel very light, which is expected. You can feel light breezes through the material, which they allude to on their web page for this item. That's great for my use. I am leery of the quality of the eyelets and the material they are embedded in. I caught my nail on the underside when I was relacing them and saw that they might rip out of the material fairly easily. I'm trying to be careful with them - we'll see. It's hard to get decent shoes that are wide enough, even if you can go somewhere to try them on. These ones are good for wide feet.
