Great barefoot sneaker option
I love these shoes!! I ordered white and grey and have worn them often. They wash well. The white ones seem to have a subtle spotting effect after washing. The grey ones are fine. They have a comfortable insert that is easily removed and replaced if you want more or less of a barefoot feel. The toebox gives plenty of room for my toes to spread and does not press on my bunion. These are barefoot shoes and have no drop or built-in arch support. The bottoms have a good tread that has not shown wear yet. I have worn these all day on barely padded concrete floors and hikes - they did not disappoint. I recommend them for those looking for an inexpensive barefoot option for sneakers.

LOVE! - Very wide toe box, removable insoles, adjustable with laces, lightweight, flexible
These are perfect for me. I have congenital curly toes - my fourth toe is rotated sideways and bent so that it underlaps the third tow, on both feet. With normal shoes, I get blisters on those underlapping toes. These shoes let me spread my toes out so there is minimal underlapping, and they let me wiggle my toes as much as I like, or fit lambs wool between them if I'm going to be on my feet all day for several days in a row. They also have removable insoles, which is necessary for my flexible flat feet - I cannot tolerate any arch support, or closed cell foam or memory foam insoles, as they put pressure on normally nonweight bearing areas of my feet. The laces (6 eyelets' worth) enable me to customize the fit over the midfoot (instep), and the eyelet placket does not rub the top of my foot the ways shoes do that have a seam at the base of the tongue. The shoes are lightweight and flexible and very non-slip (at least until the sole wears out). I've scheduled a doctor appointment to get a prescription for these for work, so I can be exempted from having to wear nonslip shoes from an approved vendor (all of which are the wrong shape for my feet and/or have nonremovable insoles). They are also affordably priced.My last pair had a minor manufacturing defect that caused the tongue of one shoe to always want to slide over annoyingly, but I tacked it down with some thread and that worked for about 10 months, by which point the soles were starting to wear so it was time to buy another pair anyway. I just re-ordered in a grey that matches my work uniform (last ones were white), and they have no manufacturing defects that I've noticed so far, fit and feel great, and look sharp (IMO). I just hope I can keep getting them with all of the tariff and trade shenanigans going on. They are made in China.

Go up half a size, consider adding barefoot insoles, otherwise great!
I like the style. They look like Spl@y knockoffs, and more interesting on the foot than the other casual sneaker styles of Whitins that look like plain blobs when worn in white.They are very flexible and offer ample toe space side to side. I am barefoot at home most of the time and do yoga daily and am able to move my toes and feet almost as freely as if I was barefoot.Minimal padding which is to be expected. I will be buying Northsole insoles to help with this as I'm on pavement a lot (they are not on Amazon).Grippy soles with good tread. They squeak on linoleum sometimes.Mine had cosmetic stitching defects on the toe cap stitching - one was rounder than the other.READ THE SIZING CHART CAREFULLY. You will likely want to go half a size up otherwise your toes will rub against the ends. I am returning them for a 9.5 instead of a 9.Honestly I thought I was going to hate them despite my desire for them. They made my heels sore standing around in my home, but I used them on a walk today and then chased after my daughter at the playground and had no issues at all. In fact I brought my other white sneakers, flexible yet narrow R33bok Pr1ncess, to do a side by side comparison and it was noticeable how much more space I have in these. I had to take the R33bok off and put these back on.Wore them to the store for a weeks worth of shopping and toddler drama too.At the end of my time out with these today my arches were sore similar to if I had begun a running program and wasn't used to it. But I had no other pain and the foot fatigue subsided in about 10 minutes after going fully barefoot - usually shoe induced foot pain lasts me days and extends throughout my body.Soooo other than the sizing issue I guess I'm keeping these! With special insoles added of course.

Fashionable and Comfortable
I don't often purchase from Amazon and I don't often leave reviews but I had heard good things about these shoes and I had to try them. The price is great but even if it weren't for the price these shoes are some of my favorite. They are cute on but more importantly from the moment you put them on they are so so comfortable. I tried them on for fit and then left them on all day. I haven't had them long and this weekend walking around Disney will be the real test but as of now I like them so much I want them in black, grey and blush as well. I will say since there is no size 8.5, if you are between an 8 and 9 order the 9.

Great for lifting
Great flat shoe for lifting and very wide to allow your toes to help with balance (and not feel squished). I've never tried barefoot shoes before, and I wasn't sure I'd like them. I was pleasantly surprised. I use them for home workouts. I have no idea how they hold up to outdoor surfaces. The white canvas is nice, but it doesn't seem treated to reduce stains so I wouldn't expect it to stay looking nice. There's some cushioning around the foot, but not much below the foot. I wouldn't run in them, personally, but someone who is used to barefoot shoes might like that. Also a really affordable shoe compared to many brands today.

No more squished toes!
If you have trouble and pain from your toes squishing together try these shoes. I’m on my feet for work and used to walk to my car in pain at the end of my shift. Not with these shoes. I ended up buying a second pair in black!
