WHITINWomen's Wide Minimalist Barefoot Shoes | Zero Drop Sole

Space for a splayed foot
I come from a no-shoes-indoors household. I also fractured a pinky toe bone earlier this year. My blood flow must be awful or something because I'm pretty sure it's still healing (but I can't afford all the podiatrist visits to keep checking on it). Anyway, I'm super wary about crushing the sides of my feet because of the fracture. I've also got 2 toenails growing on one pinky toe due to ill-fitting shoes in the past. The nails on my big toe curve upwards as they grow, and poke at the ceiling of most shoes. All this to say, I have had so much trouble finding shoes that work for me.When I slipped these on, all that came out of my mouth was "wtf" (the full phrase). Because I couldn't believe there were shoes that I could feel so comfy and natural in. This is truly a game changer for me. I initially bought these as a "starter" shoe for barefoot shoes, and I'm ready to go all in now. It's so lightweight. it's zero drop and the soles are kind of thin but feel sturdy enough.They're wide toe, so the "clown shoe" appearance is something I'll have to get used to. The build feels cheap, but I think this a great starter for trying out barefoot shoes. Its also got slip on/off potential as the fabric is stretchy.I literally just got these, so as I wear these on different types of terrain, I'll be sure to update my review accordingly.

Lovely wide toe for broken toe!
Broken toe and sick of the surgical boot? These have plenty of toe room! They are nice and wide so they don’t squish my broken pinky toe and have been the first shoe besides the surgical boot and puma slides that I’ve been able to wear in weeks! They are ridiculously comfortable! Love them!

Comfy right out of the box
I wear primarily barefoot sandals, and am actually barefoot whenever I'm home or in the yard. I wanted something that allows for natural splay when walking when I don't want to wear my sandals. I'm glad I chose these. I received them today, opened them, put them on, then took my dog for a walk out in the hill country. These shoes didn't require any breaking in. They are light, and allow for natural movement. For reference, I got the size that coincides with UK 38. I normally wear US 7 or 7.5 hiking shoes or tennis shoes, and this size fit properly. I have a narrow heel, but need the width in the toe box, and these delivered. With the laces properly tied, there is no heel slip. My feet have naturally high arches and, before I started wearing barefoot shoes, I thought a zero drop without high arch support would be problematic. It is not. In fact, the sole flexibility of barefoot shoes allows the foot to work naturally on natural surfaces. I don't want to wear anything else.If you're considering trying these, go for it. They're so inexpensive compared to other barefoot shoe brands, and perform just as well for so much less.

Super cute but too wide for my feet so had to return
These are great shoes but they were way too wide for my feet so I had to return them. Super cute, easy to put on and take off. Material thick enough to hold up but not too thick to make feet hot. Seem they would be durable and hold up well. Easy and comfy to walk in.

Very comfortable
Got these and the blue pair as my first “barefoot” shoes and they seem to be great. I left the insoles in for the time being because my feet felt too loose without them. They are extremely comfortable. Have yet to see how durable they are. I like the blue better than the white which makes me feel a little bit like I’m bowling but I think they’ll grow on me. There is plenty of toe room and the soles are fairly flexible.

Promising - but ultimately not for me :(
I purchased these shoes for weight lifting. I wanted something that was flat (zero-ish drop), not too cushy, and has plenty of room in the toebox.They are shipped in a shrink-wrapped plastic bag. At first, I was like 🤔, but actually this is a good idea - less weight, less waste.When I first opened them up, my first reaction was CLOWN SHOWS! 🤡 The toe boxes are big, and they look kinda goofy. But once I put them on, they really don't look silly at all - simple and sleek.The quality is surprisingly good. The materials seem as durable as you'd expect for a pair of cheap shoes in this range, and all of the stitching seemed pretty good too.The dealbreaker is the design. The pleather lacing side straps are pretty stiff. When I bend my foot deeply, the top of it digs right into the crease of my big toe. I already hate lunges enough, I don't need to be saying "ouch" because my back foot is being pinched every time I lunge!! It's possible this might soften up over time, but I could tell from wearing these for 2 minutes that it wouldn't happen before I got a big blister. So, back they go, and the search continues.

Wide toe box. Flexible. Breathable.
I just put these on and they feel great. These are my first wide toe shoe so the look will take some time to get used to. The fabric is breathable and the bottoms are very flexible.So far so good.

These are DEFINITELY worth the purchase - just try them!
Normally I don't take the time to do reviews, but I'm back on Amazon to buy my 2nd pair of these because they're freaking awesome! I'm a full time photographer - that means LONG weddings, engagement and studio work, so my feet can get super tired, my legs get sore, and it can take days to fully recover. Well, I decided to ditch the "cute shoes" on work days in favor of something that was actually comfortable, and I'm SO impressed. I wore these the first day out of the gate on an 8 hour wedding day - I barely got to sit down for 15 minutes the entire day - and my feet did NOT hurt. The next day I expected sore feet/legs...and nothing! I then decided to give them the REAL test of a day at Disneyland . I was there from rope drop to fireworks (about 14 hours) and my feet didn't hurt at all. Seriously, these are awesome and I'm ordering another pair in a different color right now because they're my new FAVORITE shoes!
