WHITINLittle/Big Kids Minimalist Barefoot Shoes + Zero Drop + Wide Sneaker for Boys/Girls

We are absolutely thrilled with the WHITIN Wide Width Barefoot Walking Shoes for my child! These minimalist sneakers are exactly what we were looking for—comfortable, supportive, and ideal for active little feet.The wide width is a game-changer, providing plenty of room for natural toe splay, which is so important for foot development. My child loves how lightweight and flexible they are, making them perfect for running, jumping, and all kinds of play. The zero-drop design encourages a natural stride, and it's been great for both everyday activities and outdoor adventures.The mesh upper keeps the feet cool and breathable, so no more sweaty feet after a long day at school or gym class! The pink color is vibrant and fun, and the shoes look just as stylish as they are practical. They go well with a variety of outfits, from gym clothes to casual wear.Another thing I love is how easy they are to put on—the shoes are flexible enough to slip on and off without any hassle, and my child can do it independently. The durable soles provide great traction, so we don’t have to worry about slipping during outdoor activities.Overall, these shoes are a perfect blend of comfort, style, and functionality. I highly recommend them to anyone looking for barefoot-style sneakers that are both supportive and fun for kids!

My 7 year old son has worn Crocs and only Crocs for most of his life. He has maintained a steadfast refusal to wear anything else and declares typical sneakers and other shoes too tight. This make sense since, as a result of wearing wide and roomy Crocs his whole life, his toes are more spread out than, say, mine.However, there are instances in which Crocs just aren't safe or appropriate footwear. So, I went on a hunt to find other shoes he'd wear, that wouldn't feel too tight to him. These have been perfect. They are the only other shoe he will choose to put on. He says he loves them. They have plenty of room in the toe. They seem well made to me. I wouldn't say they're the BEST looking shoes, but they're also not terrible.

I bought these shoes to use on the treadmill at home, but they were so comfortable, I used them outside the house (no shoes in the house!). I just wore them for an extended trip abroad and they were comfortable, with adequate support to wear for several miles per day of walking, They are easy on/easy off with the velcro strap closure. Good purchase.

I am a Doctor of Chiropractic, so I'm very particular with how my children's shoes compliment the biomechanics of the human foot. The only shoes I allow my children to wear are Whitin shoes or shoes much like them. They look super cool, and they are very affordable. I have found that they hold up well. We have had these shoes for our son for months and are satisfied.What I love about Whitin shoes are the fact that they are built to allow the human foot to simply do what it was designed to do. This is accomplished in these shoes by having no incline in the heel (zero drop) so the posterior chain of your leg (calf and hamstrings) are not flexed and shortened, and by having a wide toe box so that your toes can spread out as far as they need to. A zero drop and a wide toe box allow for the proper motion of the 26 bones within the foot. When the foot moves properly, it absorbs shock. If the foot doesn't move properly, such as when you are wearing bad shoes (please note: 99% of shoes are made with an incline in the heel and a narrow toe box, and are therefore classified as bad in this doctors opinion), shock will not get absorbed by the foot as well and will get absorbed by your knees, hips, and spine, especially the low back. Whitin shoes are also great because they are minimalist and have a thin sole. This allows for greater proprioception between the brain and the feet (proprioception is the brains ability to sense where body parts are in space). In essence, when you buy shoes, you want them to mimic walking barefoot. This is particularly important for a developing child. Your child's feet can develop while wearing shoes that disrupt the natural biomechanics of the foot or you can ensure their feet develop well anatomically and mechanically by getting them shoes like Whitin shoes.If you have kids and need some good shoes, find yourself some high-quality zero drop, wide toe box shoes like Whitins!

Fit my kid great. Easy on and off but he’s got holes in the front already 😕

The shoes were for my son. He loved them. Good amount of space in the toe box. I would recommend and will be purchasing more pairs in the future.

Love these- my son is o. The spectrum and I can’t keeps shoes on him ever and these he loves and keeps on. Highly recommended

Wide space for toes, easy to put on, good quality
