Nit sure if they are good for walking as there is no arch support but they are comfortable and nice and wide across the toes! I use for bike riding perfect for that! Review: Does what it says. Good for foot health - I wore these for about 3 to 4 months and probably put 800,000 + steps on these. The tread was wore down in the middle of the shoe due to my personal foot strike on the ground but the rest of the shoe tread was still in good shape. The toe spread is nice (can even wear toe spacers while wearing the shoes if you are working on that, I got the ones squat university recommends on here). The one thing I'll say about these shoes is the padding is very thin so if you plan to walk a lot or run you might consider the running shoe version of this brand. You will feel every bit of debris you step on due to the thin pad and it can be painful. Not to deter from the actual shoe though as it performed great. I bought these to feel more ergonomic and this was my first time trying a zero drop wide toe. I ended up wearing these full time and ditching my work shoes and casual shoes as the black was work acceptable. Great shoe, light weight, good for work, and nice design. My toes felt great in these and it truly is a zero drop as it says. Not waterproof and the shoe didn't have a lot grip if I stepped on something slick on concrete though most shoes would slip anyway. Not that it happened that much anyway. Decent shoe and I have just bought the runner shoe version and it already feels better with the extra padding. Also if you are a person who likes to slip the shoe on and off without tieing and untieing these did not work well with that and the back of the shoe where the ankle touches would often fold down and got worse as I kept doing it...shocking I know. Overall great shoe!!!! ## Features - Spacious forefoot allows for natural foot movement and toe splay to empower your stride - The trail-specific mesh with supportive overlays locks your foot into place and protects from debris - Additional padding around the ankle collar also feels softer and locks down the heel more securely - Wrap-around TPU overlays with braided fishing line the lateral sides offer an excellent combination of speed and stability - Grippy rubber soles with 3mm trail lug pattern provide reliable grip on adventures without sacrificing ground feedback ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B0CZJ4M4W7 | | Best Sellers Rank | #14,216 in Clothing, Shoes & Jewelry ( See Top 100 in Clothing, Shoes & Jewelry ) #28 in Men's Trail Running Shoes | | Brand | WHITIN | | Closure Type | Lace-Up | | Closure type | Lace-Up | | Color | W51 Black Gum | | Cushioning Level | Minimal | | Customer Reviews | 4.3 out of 5 stars 1,685 Reviews | | Fit to Size Sentiment | Positive | | Heel Type | No Heel | | Inner material | Soft Fabric | | Insole Cushioning | Foam/Polyurethane | | Lace Closure | Lace-Up | | Material Fabric | Fabric | | Model Name | W51 | | Occasion Lifestyle | Casual | | Occasion Type | Daily | | Outer Material | Mesh | | Outer material | Mesh | | Pattern | Solid | | Pronation Correction | Neutral | | Seasons | All | | Shoe Height Map | Low Top | | Shoe Type | Athletic Shoe | | Sole Material | Rubber | | Sole material | Rubber | | Special Features | Breathable | | Specific Uses For Product | Sports | | Sport Type | Running | | Strap Type | Lace | | Style Name | Casual | | Style Number | W51 | | Surface Recommendation | Trail | | Theme | casual, outdoor | | Toe Style | Round Toe | | Water Resistance Level | Not Water Resistant | ## Images ![WHITIN Men's Wide Barefoot Trail-Running Shoes W51 - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81wTFDTTSmL.jpg) ## Available Options This product comes in different **Color, Size** options. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great biking shoe! *by M***W on July 11, 2026* Just got them!

Overall great shoe!!!! ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Narrow midfoot, Wide toebox, Runs a size small. *by P***. on November 19, 2025* For reference, I generally wear 10-10.5 2E-4E shoes (US sizing) depending on the brand. I bought the WHITIN wide trail runners in sizes 10 wide (43) and 11 wide (44). I also bought the similar looking barefoot ASTVO shoes in size 10 wide (43.5) and 10.5 wide (44). Hopefully this review helps people who want to see how these two shoes compare as they both cost around $42 when I bought them. For the comparison below, I used the barefoot insoles in the ASITVO although they include spare supportive insoles that are about 1/8" thicker than the barefoot insoles. If used, these would slightly reduce the volume, add cushion, and help people adapt to barefoot shoes. Sizing/Length: The ASITVO shoes have a fairly true-to size length, perhaps a quarter size short but this is a non-issue common in barefoot shoes as you don't need as much length with your toes less crowded. WHITIN seems to run about a size small in length, the 11 WHITIN shoes were similar in length to the 10 ASITVO shoes while the 10 WHITIN shoes fit more like a US 9 in length. Overall Width and Volume: The ASITVO is very wide and good for higher volume feet, slightly wider throughout compared to the WHITIN and while both have good volume, the ASITVO has slightly more. The ASITVO 10 wide was wide enough in the midfoot for my 3E width, high-volume feet, while both sizes of the WHITIN shoes were too narrow in the midfoot. Toebox width: The toebox in the ASITIVO shoes is slightly wider than the WHITIN. The 10.5 wide ASITVO might even be slightly wider than the 11 wide WHITIN toebox. For reference, I find with barefoot style shoes where the midfoot fits well, the toebox generally has enough room for me. The WHITIN has a tighter midfoot which may be preferable to some. Midfoot Width: The ASITVO has a wider midfoot compared to the WHITIN wide barefoot shoes, it seems to get wide about 5.5 inches from the toe while the WHITIN gets wider about 4.75-5 inches from the toe and is narrower in the midfoot and heel. I found the ASITVO 10 wide was wide enough in the midfoot for my 2-3E width, high-volume feet, while both sizes of the WHITIN shoes were too narrow in the midfoot. The extra half inch before the shoes widen caused uncomfortable pressure on the inside of my foot. This is a common issue I run into, so I prefer the ASITVO shoes but those with more triangular feet or a narrower heel/midfoot would likely prefer the WHITIN fit. Heel fit: They are both similar, perhaps slightly wider on the ASITVO although neither shoe has an excessively wide heel. Compared to the WHITIN, they have more padding that is well designed around the heel and ankle. This holds my heel in place better and the padding helps avoid overtightening and pressure points. Overall: The ASITVO has a wide, high-volume fit with a generous toebox. The 10 Wide ASITVO is exactly what I wanted, and is wide enough in the midfoot to fit correctly without sizing up. It also has plenty of volume. I would hesitate to call the WHITIN shoes wide except for the toebox. To me they fit more like Altra Lone Peak 8-9's and some of the Topo trail shoes where the toebox is wide but the midfoot is too narrow. They do have more foot volume than the Altras I have tried on though. TLDR: Overall, the 10.5 wide ASITVO fits closer to how the 11 wide WHITIN shoes fit for toebox size and length but has a wider midfoot than the WHITIN. The WHITIN seems to run a size small and the midfoot widens too far up the shoe for me in the larger size I tried while it is too short and narrow in the smaller size. --- ## 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/641263502-whitin-mens-wide-barefoot-trail-running-shoes-w51](https://www.desertcart.us/products/641263502-whitin-mens-wide-barefoot-trail-running-shoes-w51) --- *Product available on Desertcart United States of America* *Store origin: US* *Last updated: 2026-08-12*
