Title: Great overall shoe!
Review: The fit is true to size, and they are super comfortable. They look like a conventional sneaker but have zero drop and a nice wide toe box. They perform like a minimalist shoe without looking like a clown shoe! Planning to buy in a few colors. I typically wear extremely thin soles, but sometimes I am on hard concrete for a while walking my dog or in an area with gravel or nails from new construction, and the sole is a little thicker providing for more protection.

Title: Super comfortable
Review: I used to spend hundreds of shoes that deemed themselves comfortable when they were just ugly and uncomfortable. These are way more stylish and way more comfortable. They fit great with lots of toe space. They're light and have great flexibility which makes it easy to walk in. They are very breathable, the air seems to go right through them, which is good for summer walking shoes, but won't keep you warm at all come winter.

Title: Good value
Review: These shoes were very inexpensive. They have a wide toe box that lets your toes move around and they are zero drop which means that they are not higher in the back than they are in the front... they are essentially flat. This is said to be better for your foot because you don't strike the ground with your heel as much. There is no arch support in these, but again, that is part of the "barefoot" concept. This type of shoe lets your foot do the work, which makes them stronger and more flexible. This should lead to less pain and injury. However if you are not used to this type of shoe and have weak feet, you can injure yourself. I have had plantar fasciitis and did not want to ever go through that again, so I have been doing exercises to strengthen my foot and raise the arch. I decided I was ready to try this style shoe, but didn't want to spend $150 in case it turned out that this was not for me. These were a good place to start. They are lightweight, comfortable and doing their job in my cardio workouts. The materials they are made of seem a little cheap (hence the four stars), but for the price they work.

Title: Wide toe box, normal heel width.
Review: These are wide toe box, near zero heel drop, cushioned shoes. These sneakers are not barefoot shoes because the insoles are cushioned. However, they do have a reasonably wide toe box and look like normal sneakers in the black color choice. I have found them to be comfortable for everyday use, but for long walks, I still prefer my barefoot shoes in this same brand.

Title: Awesome sneakers
Review: This is my third pair of barefoot sneakers in the past 4 months. I've purchased the black and beige Whitin minimalist sneakers and while I like them too, these are my favorite. I like having a the thin padded insole. This summer I walked over two miles each day through our campground. The small stones that pave the roads have slowed me down because there is no padding in the minimalist sneaker. They are great for sidewalks or flat surfaces. The insole in these sneakers eliminates the problems with the stones. They are easy to wear all day. My toes love the wide toe box with lots of room to move. This is probably the biggest selling point in buying the three pairs of shoes. I never want to go back to my Assics or Saucony sneakers again! A lot of people complain about the lack of arch support but these sneakers are designed to have minimal arch support. After two surgeries on both feet for my Achilles tendon and wearing these sneakers my feet and body have never felt better! I'm a teacher and I'm on my feet a lot during the day. The pain I felt before wearing the Whitin sneakers was so intense and annoying at the end of the day. I'm only sad I didn't know about them years ago!

Title: Nice wide box, soft, but no arch support
Review: This shoe has a great box, its soft, wide and does not aggrivate my in-grown toenails. Perfect for a narrow foot and fits me perfect! The worse part is that the shoe as NO SUPPORT

Title: Love these!
Review: There are a lot of wide toe box/barefoot brands out there, “within” kept showing up, and I figured they are very affordable to start making a change. I truly love the look and aesthetic of within shoes compared to other barefoot brands. I love these white sneakers and I wanted to get the all black but they don’t have my size in those now, so I truly hope they get those back in stock. I purchased a size 7 and they fit well. I guess if I wanted a little more wiggle room I could size up. But I like the fit of these in a 7. They are comfortable and great as an everyday shoe.

Review: Ordered wrong size again, the chart is kinda wonky. However this time the shoes fit another kid in my house and no need to return. The kid that fit the shoes says they are the most comfortable!

Review: UPDATE: these shoes are horrible. My feet are in agony whenever I walk too fast or wear them for too long. They are no longer zero drop because the outsoles are so soft there's almost no tread left in the forefoot in only 1½ months. Absolute trash.I'll update review accordingly, but at first I thought I had got the wrong size, and almost ordered another pair while starting a return for these. Then I remember the company saying to remove the insole if the fit doesn't feel right. Because it fit in length, but the width and height felt wrong. Had nothing to lose, removed the insoles.What a DIFFERENCE! My toes no longer feel like they're being crushed, my feet don't feel like they're being strangled. I am coming to these shoes from VFF toe shoes, so I know I had to bring down my expectations for roominess a bit. Having said that, much better than a regular shoeI'll have to walk some more without the insoles, to see if it's still on comfortable as my literal barefoot shoes. Which took away my feet, knee, and hip pain. Hopefully these do the same while giving some protection from the rain and any stray needles.
