WHITIN Women’s Wide High-Top Canvas Barefoot Sneakers | Minimalist Street-Ready Fit | Comfort-Forward Ankle Support

Well made, attractive, comfortable shoes!
I have three pairs of sneakers in this brand that are exactly the same except the color. I have three pairs of the low cut in white, black, and tan. I have this pair of high tops. They are machine washable on hand wash. I always remove the insoles first. I love them. The wide toe boxes are awesome. I was raised wearing Birkenstocks, which I still really love and wear, but I wanted something that I could wear as everyday “play” shoes that I didn’t need to worry about damaging. Turns out that these shoes are very well made and can go into the washer. My feet are wide because I have lived in Birkenstocks. These sneakers are the perfect width for me.One day I did wear a pair of these sneakers for a very long day of walking and at days end, my feet hurt. So, I bought a set of inserts and I have used them in these sneakers twice. Made them perfect for a long day of walking.I highly recommend these shoes in the two styles that I purchased. They have several other styles that I have not tried.

These shoes almost fully fixed my foot problems alone.
I’ve had these shoes for 2 months Maybe now. I have dealt with foot problems corns and calluses on the bottom of my feet for ever. A little backstory is about every other week I need to take a razor blade and delicately carve out the calluses and corns from the bottom of my feet. I came across a commercial for these shoes that admitted that the first two weeks I wear these shoes I would be in pain because my feet would be readjusting to the ground. I was hesitant to buy them because my podiatrist (foot doctor) said that I need more supportive shoes .In the two months that I’ve worn these shoes I have nothing but good things to say about them I do have some negatives that I will mention at the bottom but all these positives have outweighed those minute negatives.(I don’t remember if the commercial is saw was for these shoes exactly or just for pros of switching to barefoot shoes)The first two weeks I was in the shoes was exactly like what the commercial said was happened. (But I wasn’t in severe pain, because I was in severe pain all the time from walking on this corn on the bottom of my foot).So after closing in on the second week I noticed that the corn on the bottom of the center of my foot was almost COMPLETELY gone. These shoes are very comfortable to walk in. They are wide enough for my crooked toe. I LOVE THE PADDED BACK so my ankles don’t get raw. The color has held up in the rain. Pretty easy to keep clean (so far.. I haven’t spilled anything sticky on me yet)The negative is that I feel like I might need to replace the shoes a lot sooner than my older pairs of shoes but I now wear these shoes more than any other shoes that I own so that could be a contributing factor. I would gladly buy these shoes again if they were to fall apart. The second negative might be more or less because they are high-tops or mid-tops I have to unlace part of my shoe to get my foot in. And only in is the problem getting out I can slide them out no problem.I even bought a second pair of these shoes for a slip-on pair that I could just run outside real quick in, they are good too but these, these are AMAZING.I do still have the “root” of the corn on the bottom of my foot, so I still need to maintain that area until it grows out I assume. But I can say these shoes almost SOLEY fixed my foot problems.Haha get it lolOk im done now 😅

I don’t ever shut up about my barefoot shoes! They are so extremely comfortable that I can’t go back to normal shoes, my feet have changed and they feel way more comfortable and natural after wearing these for a while. This shoe is nice and wide, some other shoes arnt as wide. As for the sole thickness, I do feel more things under my feet (which is somewhat the purpose of them) but I never ever feel discomfort.I walked for a month in Korea and Japan in these (brand new) and my feet never got sore. My friends who were wearing normal shoes did complain about their feet being tired and sore. A very pleasant surprise.Super cute style, don’t pass up on it!Keep in mind, it’s light canvas so it will get dirty fast but I think some oxidizing detergent should do the trick.

I really like these shoes – they’re comfortable and fit really well. They take a bit of getting used to because they feel lighter than regular shoes, but once you adjust they’re great.My only issue is that they’re not super practical for anything beyond walking on paved surfaces, and have a few safety concerns. The grips on the bottoms are terrible on anything other than pavement, and I’ve slipped a few times on other surfaces. Today I was walking some dogs for a client and hand to step on the grass to give them space from another passing dog, and my shoes slipped and I ended up spraining my ankle and fell to the ground, which is not ideal when trying to control two large dogs. They also make a super loud squeaking noise when you walk on tile/linoleum type flooring which is annoying.I’ll definitely wear them until they fall apart, but it would take some serious redesign of the gripping on the bottom for me to even consider buying them again.

I’m a size 7.5 in ‘normal’ shoes and ended up ordering a size 9wide (8.5wide was sold out) it’s a touch big but size 8 was too small and also shrank almost a centimetre in length when I put them in the dryer.I’m new to barefoot shoes n recently learned this is common for barefoot shoes to shrink when applying heat to them, that includes exposing our feet to hot asphalt.My other size 8 Whitins are a smidge too small. Not because my toes touch but sometime they kinda do when walking. Anyway I’ll share a pic of the 3 compared. Sizes don’t seem too different but they’re all different Whitins.The shoe without laces is the one I’m reviewing. I just drew all over them.They’re super wide in the toe. The fabric bunches a bit on top which is why I drew on them (to hide the weird wrinkle. Either way. Comfy enough I got 2.
