WHITIN Males’s Barefoot Working Footwear | Minimalist Cross-Coach | Zero Drop Sole

Love these shoes!!
These are great shoes! I am NOT a trail runner nor do I hike often. However I cannot stand traditional hiking shoes. Look, weight, comfort and cost for a good pair, especially since I may hike once a year.I picked these up because of the price and look specifically for my once a year camping trip where I knew I’d be on at least one hike.I am as close to a true size 11 and ordered 11’s. They fit like a glove, in a good way. They have a bit of compression or maybe should say that they wrap feet with nice pressure all around..First walk was on the hike which was about 2-miles over dirt, rock, gravel and pavement sections. The hike was pretty tough, but my feet did not hurt afterwards. They felt great and better than expected.I now wear these most days of the week,.with jean, khakis and shorts and even have had them at the beach.CON: These this can be very slippery on wet surfaces. Others stated this and glad that I took note because it is true. However, I feel that over time this has lessened to an extent.Grip!! Funny to follow up with ‘these things grip!’ They do and do it very well on dry surfaces.Would I buy again? Yes.

Great for back, but beware goat heads and shin pain
If you’re getting a zero drop sole shoe, then these are great. The fabric is a bit elastic which helps make the shoes feel comfortable immediately out of the box. I paired them with some elastic shoe laces and they make a great slip on.They are quiet, fit right but offer no arch support.Simple warnings if you have never had barefoot shoes, the lack of cushion is, at first, very hard on your shins. You will go around a month with shin pain as your body adapts to the change. The pain is never unbearable, but it’s a bone pain which is definitely unpleasant. Due to this, don’t give up. The temporary shin pain is worth the eventually lack of back pain and strain. While not a perfect solution to lower back pains, the benefits of barefoot shoes and zero drop soles are very real ib my experience and have relieved years of back pain.The next part, specific to this shoe is that the sole is thin. This is intentional but something you may not realize is that it is just thin enough for longer goat heads to penetrate the sole and prick your foot. This came as a shock to me the first time I got soles these thin. If you live in an area where goat heads grow then you may want to look into some sort of sole insert that is puncture resistant. Many are sold for construction workers for protection and they are around $15-35. You are easily able to remove the included insole and replace it and I’d recommend it if you may find yourself walking in goat heads or other such spikes.While you may debate whether or not you should try barefoot shoes and zero drop soles, if you find yourself wanting to try them out then I’d recommend these ones. Good for work, good for walking and worth the money.

Happy with these shoes for the price, though the toe box isn’t as wide as on some other models here on Amazon. The positive side of that is that they look more like “normal” shoes. Recommended.

I’d say order a size down. I ordered a size 12, which is my size, and it definitely fits loosely.Nice design to it, and comfortable to wear

Muy cómodos, excelentes para el gimnasio y para caminar
