M**S
Great shoe for the price. Will buy again!
All in all, it's a great shoe for the price and I intend to continue buying from Whitin!Pros:1) Minimalist and zero-drop2) Comfortable3) Durable (put 400 running miles on them and probably have another 100 miles of tread left on them)4) Wide toe box5) Looks cool (at least I think so)6) Cheap! Purchased for $42.Cons:1) Heavy (much heavier than my Merrell VaporGloves)2) Not a true barefoot shoe in my opinion, but very minimalist and a good transition shoe3) Laces broke on first day (laces popped out of the Velcro connector, but still functions fine. Just a small annoyance).4) More expensive than other barefoot shoes on Amazon (but worth the cost in my opinion).

Wow, so comfortable, great for neuropathy
Edit: (I have not taken these shoes off in a week except to sleep) Read the reviews, thanks guys, was looking forward to trying these.I live in Florida, so you don't need much, but I also need protection because of peripheral neuropathy. I was wondering how good these shoes would be. Wow, so comfortable, kinda plush actually. Fit firmly to the feet with plenty of things to adjust the fit of the shoe. Holds the foot very well without a lot of pressure. Some shoes you have to tighten here or there to make them fit, but not these. You know they are there and on, but barely. I can't comment on water resistantance, I have cheap shoes for the ocean, just glad to know they can handle water. The insoles are ok, I see what other reviewers are referring to. They are comfortable, don't get me wrong, but a good pair of insoles when the factory ones wear out will be nice. If you're like me, I was hesitant to try the good minimalist water resistant shoes. I have some of the cheap ones, and I thought, how can someone run over terrain in these? I get it now, these are worth the extra dollars, way worth it. The fit, the comfort and they look kinda cool. I would get cheaper tennis shoes to kick around the house and work outside. I seem to sacrifice something with the cheap shoes, I am going to get another pair of these. You don't have to sacrifice anything with these shoes, they are great.

Durable exteriors. Great shoes
I've owned these now for 14 months and use them for everything. I trail run, hike, camp, kayak, disc golf, and just about everything else in these shoes. I even treat them like water shoes most of the time. The exteriors are still a ten out of ten. The treads show no signs of wear which is incredible because I've put many hard miles on them. Laces are mint, no stains in the material, they clean up nicely through the washer (don't put them in the dryer). The only thing is that the insoles are destroyed. Both the heels and toes in both shoes. I'm looking to replace them and see no issue with getting many more years out of these. Overall, these were a great purchase and you won't regret the price. Note they have a wide toe box and are pretty roomy and comfortable to wear.****UPDATE****a little over a year and a half in and the soles have begun to peel away. Still wearing them, and they are worth every penny, but the end is near. You can expect to get at least the same but likely more time from them. I've abused them :)

Best shoe at this price range.
I was looking for a flatter shoe for lifting weights. Specifically for deadlifts and leg presses, which seemed to destroy the padding in my regular running shoes.I tried on 4 other pairs of the sub 75$ workout/barefoot shoes that Amazon had. These were the only shoes that worked for me!The sizing is to true to size. These 13s fit me perfectly. Other brands seems to run small. In addition, this shoe has a larger toe box. So my feet could spread out, which is exactly what you want for weight lifting. Not sure about how long they will last. But they are very comfortable. I even find myself wearing these in the house. And for the price, its well worth it.

I'm really picky, but I say GET THESE. 👍🏽
I'm kinda mind blown by how much I loooove these shoes. I'm on my 4th pair (just because I like having different colors) and I'll probably end of with 6 pairs before the year is out. 😏 Why not? Will you ever find a better deal? I can buy 3 or 4 of these for the price of 1 pair of some of these athletic brands that are out there - No joke. These are comfortable, lightweight, well made with just enough sole thickness to feel protected, and they look cool IMO. I suggest that if you're a half size, then go for the next size up. (I'm an 11.5 but the 12 fits perfectly) Also for the best fit I feel that the style with the laces and velcro tend to feel more snug and secure. Obviously I would recommend these shoes. Hats off to whoever designed these. 👍🏽👍🏽

6 Month Shoes (You Get What You Pay For)
I've gone through two pairs of these shoes, and I must say they fit nice and are good imitators of more expensive brands. They are comfortable, fit well, and I like the velcro straps.Style wise, I am not a huge fan of how the rubber of the sole comes up and 'caps' the toes. Looks kind of weird. I can't tell you the amount of people that thought I was wearing 'toe shoes', like Vibram popularized. I just stopped correcting people after a while.The downside is, you get what you pay for. Both pairs of my Whitins expired right around the 6 month landmark. I used them for some light running, exercise, every day stuff, and sometimes took them in the water or mud, but nothing too serious. They just start to fall apart. The soles start to come unglued from the rest of the shoe, and in both pairs this began to happen a couple months in, but only really became an issue after 6 months. I suppose I could have worn them a little longer, but they were dilapidated. If you can pay twice as much for a pair of Vivo Barefoot shoes, I would highly recommend. Coming up on one year and the Vivo is still going strong, so, it's at least as good value wise as these shoes.In summary, fine way to ease myself into the barefoot realm, but there are much better shoes out there.

Geniales!
(Aclaro que son mis primeras impresiones)Normalmente soy 7 mx. Los pedí en 8 por si las dudas y aún así me quedaron bien. Se nota que son más grandecitos de lo que debería usar pero no hay problema. Son muy cómodos y me dejan expandir mis dedos todo lo que dan.Estoy contento, ya veré más adelante qué tal en duración/calidad ya que los usaré diario en lo que estoy en el gimnasio.

Not breathable at all
They're a super comfy shoe or the price, but they're not at all breathable. I opted for their canvas shoes instead and they're much better.
