- In this video, I will review the Wide Variant of the Whitins Barefoot Sneaker.
The Whitin Minimalist Barefoot Sneakers (Wide) are a great option for people with wide feet.
This shoe appears casual in design, but has a tough enough sole for light trail use.
The quality of this shoe is above what I would expect at this price point.

I wore a pair of whitins to hike the entire Appalachian trail Maine to Georgia last year these are incredibly comfortable and they are quite and grippy on the rocks ,loved that when you get your feet wet they dry extremely quickly, love these shoes , also wear a pair of kricley barefoot shoes too
This is actually such a detailed and great review, there is no other channel I can find that actually goes over the widths of shoes thank you so much!!
My man, watching through your videos a bunch lately and finally stumbled across these. Instantly bought them for the whole family and they are legitimate game changers, my god. Thanks for all your videos man, by far my favorite fitness YT'er!
Love these shoes! I’ve had a pair for about 6 months and I just ordered a couple new pairs for my workouts/runs/walks. My feet feel so great when I wear em!
Thanks Mark! This is great news for my wide feet. I wish though that they offered them with a flat insole. I'm wearing mostly Freet shoes which fit my wide fit well and are built a bit better, but are more expensive. Pretty much everything they sell is over $100. I appreciate you reviewing minimalist shoes for wide feet. Let's hope they they keep coming!
I picked them up early last year when they were released. I have a lot of Xero shoes, a Vivobarefoot Gobi 2, and some water shoes and these are much wider. I also had a size down. These are my go to beater casual day-to-day shoes. Incredibly durable and has been fine for well over a year. The fit is way different than the original, narrower version.
Yes, a great improvement from my first shoe from them. The quality at this price, is definitely a great deal.
@@GrownandHealthy I’ve been using the Xero “Oswego” for years, they don’t last very long for what I’m paying for them now days though.
Been thinking about getting a pair of these since I can buy three pairs of them for one pair of the Xero’s.
Amazon says to size up one, is this true?
I know I can send them back etc but, figured I’d check with some real owners first to simplify things.
Let me know everyone.
Is it waterproof ?
@@supreetkaur8210 it is not, that’s not a big problem though - the commercially available DWR sprays or whatever, they works just fine.
Hello, I enjoy your videos as they have helped me since I transitioned from traditional shoes to barefoot/minimalist shoes. Thank you! I have a pair of the Whitin wide shoes and your review is spot on with these. They are extremely comfortable. Thank you again!
Thank you sir, I have used the link you provided, and made my order today. This will be my first minimalist shoe purchase. Thank you for research and knowledge about barefoot walking. I’m sold 😊!
Thanks for all you do, you have been a massive help. I switched to barefoot after a plantar fasciosis injury caused by toebox/toesweep. Not having much to spend, the whiten wide was one of my first shoes back in 2021. I have been wearing the same pair since starting work in a screen printing shop in Jan 2022. In spite of how dirty they have gotten, they are my favorite pair of shoes. I don't run in them, but they have been a budget lifesaver for my day to day. I got rid of insert, and in the early part of transition used a barefoot insert for cushion on long days on concrete. FYI before barefoot I was a 10 1/2 (and wide when I could find it) I ordered the 11. Again thank you for all you do, I can Not imagine relearning to walk without your help.
Great! I'm glad you found the videos helpful.
I had to buy 13 and I am usually a 12.5 or 13(12 with five finger shoes) and I had to remove the insole and the sewn in layer under that and then it fit perfectly, found they fit a little small for barefoot shoes for me. They are one of my favourite shoes,
have lasted at least 3 years, seem like they have plenty of more life left and wear them more than any of my other shoes. Have lasted longer then any of my xeros. I’ve been wearing barefoot only shoes for 3-5 years and now my feet are extremely wide.
Because of you I tried Tabi shoes and do love your content as a fellow mid forties person trying to improve my health and longevity. Thank you for all your tips and content!
This review is definitely exactly what I was looking for. I have sightly wide feet & I am looking for barefoot shoes, but my budget is very limited. Thanks so much for your comprehensive review!!
Thank you so much! Am definetly ordering these because I’ve seen many people in the DDR community use Xeros or Vivobarefoots and they are expensive but I’m definetly gonna be getting these for ddr as I really do think minimalist shoes will help out as well! Thank you man you’re the best love the review!
Just got mine today. Guess I should have looked at the reviews first but your review had made me very comfortable with the purchase. I have a 5E wide foot and nothing ever fits. These seem plenty wide. Thanks for sharing
I bought a pair of these about a month ago and love them. They are my first barefoot shoe. Plenty of room for my wide feet, and they are easy to clean. I don't think I'll go back to conventional shoes
Thanks for the review I just picked up a pair with your link! 😎
Great review. Had a pair about two years ago, but I found they were too wide which gave them a floppy feel. However, they're a great low-priced alternative to some of the bigger name brands in the minimal shoe market. Good pick up for those curious about barefoot but not ready to splurge. And agree! they do have great style (especially in blue w/ a white sole).
Nice, love these shoe reviews. The Whitins are a great lower budget option, and the toe shape conceals the width well.
Thanks! Yes, they have a great profile.
Helpful thanks. I was about to buy but have gone down a size after watching this. 👍
Some of my favorite kicks. Have them in grey with a gum sole. I did try out a similar model "Tober" however I noticed the sole in the heel of the knock off brand was actually much thicker than that of the Whitin's. So not quite zero drop on the Tober's. For the money, the Whitin's are definitely my favorite barefoot shoe.
Thanks so much for this review. I've ordered some but I'm guessing I'll need to remove the lining so that there's no foot support?
I’ve just got a pair of Lems primal zen , lovely shoe
My feet thank you for sharing your extensive foot knowledge.
Thanks! I'm glad to help.
Thank you!
Are there any shoes you recommend for beginners. I have thin feet and would like to start wearing some for work. Do you have any suggestions I should look at?
Is there a wide tie sock? I dont like the finger socks. I like wearing socks to keep shoe clean and not smelling. I have these though. I love them but may try a higher end one like Lems. Maybe material will last longer.
Thanks for the detailed review! You said that pair is a US 12/ EUR 46, right? On Amazon I saw EUR 46 corresponds to a US 12.5, and EUR 45 corresponds to US 11.5/12. I'm guessing your shoe is US 12.5. Does that sound right? I'm trying to decide which size to go with. I'm a 12 in Lems Primal 2 and a 12.5 in Feelgrounds.
Ahhh,, I didnt even listen to your whole speal, after about a minute I took your word and ordered them!
Thinking of getting these now. How about a review of "Altra escalante Racers" shoes?
Good morning I just bought the shoes yesterday. I’ve won them for a few minutes. I’m wondering how am I supposed to clean them? Will they shrink, do I put them in the dryer, or do I let them air dry. Thank you very much.
Is that Rhodes Jordan park in Gwinnett?? If so, small world!
ty for this video do u know where to get zero drop insoles with no arch support?
The more I watch your videos the more I realise how complex the body is. One thing that becomes more apparent is how the hips and leg move backwards whilst you move forward. Keep up the content as well.
After wearing mine for 3 months (including hikes) im very impressed by their durability. I just wish there were half sizes. Id like mine a little more snug.
I remember a cheap pair of withins were my first ever pair of barefoot shoes. I wore them babies until the sole and the upper disconnected at the tip.
very interesting. It hurts that it seems to me that in Spain they do not sell them.
I also recommend this shoe, not this particular brand, but the exact same material shape, that is, it is most likely a blank with a brand name from China. I have the exact same pair, only it says hobibear. Got it from AliExpress for 17 bucks. Very impressed by quality. Need to adapt for running
With the toe being so wide, what stops your foot from sliding forward, smashing your toes
Can you review primal runamoc from softstar, I know they're a bit pricey. US made.
I have a white version of these. They are very nice but they dont breathe a bit, so your feet get very sweaty after a short time, especially if you are working out
New viewer here. Loving your vids! Thank you
Thanks for watching!
@@GrownandHealthy ❤️
Hey man can i please get a link to the shoes you made video 5 years ago they are called double stars or can you tell me. Link to some other shoes that are cheap cause ain't got no money more than 25$ even that i will have to save for like 2 to 3 months and they should look like normal shoes please like hiivat they really stand out and are weird
Darn it! I wear a 42 and their size chart says that’s 8 1/2. But they only offer 8 or 9! I don’t know whether to size up or down.
Are they wider than, Softstar and Realfoot shoes? Outside of Vibrams this brands are the only ones I'm able to use. How about the upper is it tight sound the feet?
They were not tight for me around the toes, plenty of room.
I have not tried Softstar, I heard they are the widest shoes on the market, but my feet aren't that wide.
I have a question, the toe spreaders you use in your videos, are they the same kind you have for sale?
Yes.
Whitins are really good sneakers. I like them
Yes. A great value.
Since I've followed your channel I've taken up ultra running. The stretches were key to my running improvements. I can run up to 15 miles in minimalist bare trek tesla shoes on concrete ! Afterwards fatigue makes the bounce impossible. For longer distances I use Altra . Both minimalist and zero drop with thicker soles. It's like running on Clouds. Feels like cheating honestly. I'm guessing consistency will help me run a full ultra Barefoot? Love this channel by the way

Great! That sport is very challenging. I'm glad to help.
I’ve tried almost every brand of “barefoot” and “minimalist” and “foot shaped” shoe and they are still far too narrow and nowhere near the shape of my feet. I think I’ll need to give these a shot for sure.
Who has an European link to purchase these shoes ? Amazon doesn t sell this pair in France
What's all that movement back there??
Have you tried Wildling barefoot shoes? They are great!
Yes, I have. I did a review on the Flying Fox, great shoes.
They look like they have a very restrictive arch though. I'm convinced I would not be able to get my foot inside... Do you know about any shoes of extreme width that support high arch too?
The only arch support is from the removable innersole... I have been told that Softstars are very wide.
@@GrownandHealthy Sorry, English is not my first language. I had to look up the name, it is the bridge. Mine is so high I can't fit into most shoes, especially because my foot is so comically short and comically wide. They just don't expect people with such a short foot to have such a tall bridge or wide foot
Wearing the gum black version now. They actually have a new stylish sneaker version that looks a little nicer. 👍🏻 nice review
Do you mean the Full knit upper? I was interested in those, also.
@Grown and Healthy
Not sure because whitin doesn't name their shoes ...
This is the title
WHITIN Men's Wide Toe Box Barefoot Shoes | Canvas Minimalist Sneakers | Zero Drop Sole
@@GaryReyes777 Those look nice..
I was referring to the Whitin men's casual barefoot sneakers . What do you think about those?
@Grown and Healthy ok🤔 I see those are cool too.👍🏻 I got a pair of the shoes I you about earlier (white soles black fabric ) digging the black on black as well. Good barefoot budget shoes ...
@@GrownandHealthyI have been wearing the Whitin Men’s Wide Casual since I saw this video. I now have two pairs. I love the mesh uppers…the breeze is refreshing. They are much nicer than the ones with the plastic plates on the sides, which is the only other style I have tried so far. I am thinking about trying the Whitin Men’s Wide Minimalist, which is the one you are reviewing in this video.
This has not much to do with the video but the Xero HFS is on sale for $60 right now. Just want to let people know.
I bought my first pair of barefoot shoes from Amazon, then i wanted a second pair , I found them some where else at a much better price, not going to mention the name of the company I bought them from, I won't be using Amazon.
btw, you gotta size down in these shoes. i think you got the wrong size. if youre an 11 get a 10, if your a 10 get a 9.
Thanks. The size chart says I am an 8 1/2, which is unavailable, so I will size down to an 8.
@@maudessen573o you mean you'll size down to an 8? Or 7.5?
@@sunlight8299 Corrected. Thanks.
@@maudessen573 was sizing down the correct choice?
@@Float_Locker Sorry I can’t help. I chickened out on this model because I wasn’t sure about the sizing. The model in this video is the Whitin Men’s Wide Minimalist. I decided to try another model called the Whitin Men’s Wide Casual, which is offered in an 8.5. These have worked out well for my size 42s, and I have two pairs of them. The Minimalist comes in a lot more colors, so I am thinking of trying a pair of I can decide whether to size up or down. I think I will size down.
too bad no pulltabs
The Whitins sneaker outer sole is 5 millimetre which is too thick for practicing barefoot walking or running. Feelmax produces barefoot shoes with 2.5 millimetre outer sole, the thinnest in the market place.
These shoes are design and made in china
Made in China
no shit sherlock
Great information. I have a couple of questions if i may: 1, Is this the WHITIN Men's Wide Canvas Barefoot & Minimalist Shoe? if it is the canvas shoe does that canvas give to allow more toe room? 2. you said the width was 119 mm. Is that the inside measurement or outside? tanks for the great review. I am just getting into thos and i ask a lot of questions because i have wide feet.
