WHITIN Men's Wide Toe Box + Zero Drop Sole Road Running Shoes | Rubber Outsole

These are fantastic! The wide width is actually wide (fits like a 4E). The wide toe box is super comfortable and the shoe is very lightweight. Great traction in the wet or dry. And the shoe is one of the few zero drops available with enough padding to be comfortable all day. The orange color is vibrant and fun. The shoe may not last as long as comparable Altras, but at 1/6th the price, you'll come out way ahead.

I decided to completely transition to barefoot shoes, mostly for the wide foot box. I have several Merrill and Altra and New balance barefoot shoes, but they are all very expensive. That's the alternative for simple running shoes these seemed pretty adequate.Pros:They are cheapGood lookingReally wide. Much wider than all the other shoes I have. Photo - compared with Altra timp 5Very lightFairly flexibleCome in many different colorsCon:They are strictly street running shoes. No trail ready.No waterproof version or more rugged/grippy soleThey have unnecessarily thick sole for barefoot shoes. Too much cushioning.

So far so good, I bought these for my son. He uses them to run on the treadmill. Other running shoes caused him foot blisters, these seem to be working great. Its ben over a month and absolutely no complaints, he loves them. Will definitely recommend, and the price is right.

I've always had trouble with shoes cramping my big toe causing pain. I always thought I was a freak or Fred Flintstone with that big toe but now we have the internet and reading up I found out about "foot shaped" shoes. Why would any shoe not be foot shaped you may ask... well, apparently fashion simply doesn't accept that feet aren't pointed and most shoes are designed to cause foot problems. I can't say I started with Whitin foot shaped shoes, my first pair were some hiking boots made by Altra but WOW, it was a game changer. Prior I'd buy Asics, they had a reasonably wide toe box but nothing like a true foot shaped shoe. So when I saw inexpensive Whitin shoes on amazon touting foot shaped toe boxes I had to try them out. I have these and I also have a very minimal pair with pretty much no cushioning. I love them both but these feel like wearing a comfy slipper. I don't think I'd consider them for running though but for a general purpose walk around shoe they're fantastic and I even like how they look. Never did like bright colored soles or glitzy sneakers. I hope Whitin expands their offerings into other footwear.

They don't have a top name brand but they are comfortable and they look good.

Great for training! If another brand that rhymes with sofull actually carried wide shoes I bet this is how they’d fit.

The shoe fits very well but it has two major flaws, one which could be remedied.The first is the shoe is not water resistant at all. Mesh is very popular nowadays but this mesh is all but purposeless. It does offer some ventilation but it does not add to the structure of the shoe or prevent any moisture. It would be more useful as a thicker material that would allow the rather hard front part over the toe to be softer. It has not ruined my toe nails like an average mesh shoe but it would have gotten five stars with just that.The second issue is this is not really a running shoe. The padding is near zero. I do not recommend them actually. This NEEDS an insole. Now, it may fit one, but I do not have extras so I did not try one. Really, though, it needs it. Along with WHITIN's other zero drop and barefoot shoes. I would rather have more padding.I would give it a four if the padding was thicker, and a five if the mesh was replaced with real material. The shape of the foot bed is near perfect and they held up after a LLLOOOT of walking, like, 4-8 hours a day for a 21 day trip in Japan. They were almost good except in the rain and bad for taking stairs because of the minimal padding. I had to be careful. I did end up injuring the ball of my foot after I continued to wear them, however, a heel walker would probably fair better.

Plenty of room for my toes
