Quality of shoes seems nice but the the toe ends are VERY round in appearance. I would expect that a typical insert would likely not fit properly. **Q: Can I machine wash these shoes? What are the recommended settings?** A: Like most any fabric sneaker, washing is ok but use a gentle cycle and short wash time, cool water and when drying, placing both shoes in a dryer mesh bag should help them withstand the banging around in the dryer. **Q: Do these dry out quickly when wet? (overnight) I want to use these daily but will get wet running through streams** A: It is a very breathable material. I have gotten them a little wet and they were dry by next day. I'm sure as long as there is adequate air or sun light they'll dry quick. **Q: can i ware socks with these barefoot shoes ? do I have to order size up ?** A: Order your regular American shoe size. I wear mine with and sometimes without socks. ## Customer Reviews ### ā­ā­ā­ā­ā­ Great Introduction for Barefoot Style Running Shoe - Unbeatable at this Price - Love 'em *by on Reviewed in the United States August 6, 2025* After going deep learning and looking into barefoot style running, I ordered a bunch of barefoot type shoes, including this one. In short, this shoe is hands-down the best option for transitioning into barefoot-style running in my opinion.Size - I usually wear a size 10. For reference, the Altra Original shoe fit fits me perfectly at size 10, with ~1 cm above my big toe. For this shoe, I ordered both a 9 and a 10 to see. The Size 9 in this shoe leaves ~1cm above my big toe. In my opinion, this shoe runs a little long compared to others.Fit - This shoe almost has a slipper-like feel to it when you put it on with socks...I mean that in a good way. It immediately comfortable on the foot. I have a medium-high arch, and a medium-high instep girth/volume (height of the foot, distance from heel to top of the foot in front of the shin). Both are more pronounced in my right foot vs me left foot. The vertical volume of the shoe (often an important aspect of a shoe fit that annoyingly is excluded from almost every shoe specification or description out there), subjectively feels like a medium = perfection on my left foot, a little snug on my right foot. No real need for lacing up on my right shoe. I suspect will give a little with time.Sole / Ground Feel - feels like a perfect balance between enough ground-feel feedback and forgiveness. I could feel creeses in the sidewalk, but it not uncomfortable, with socks on.Heel - Heel had a little movement when moving into the toe-off of a stride. Not as tight of a hold on the outsides of the heel as an Altra, but not the best comparison as Altra is known for that secure-heel.Other Notes - Despite this shoe probably using super cheap materials, it feels pretty durable. The upper is stretchy but durable, a few mm thick I'd guess.I also bought a pair of vivo primo's which were 4x expensive. Those were almost 2 sizes too long by the way. Sweet shoes, more minimalis clearly. This is more of a "shoe". For just getting into barefoot style, I'd opt for this whitin one over the primo, and I did.Compared to Xero - much softer of a sole with this whitin shoe. Softere all around actually. This is more flexible, narrower middfit area than Xero.And I'll stop there cus I could keep going. Great shoe. Unbeatable as the price, truly. ### ā­ā­ā­ā­ā­ Great simple shoes! *by on Reviewed in the United States August 8, 2026* My brother got them. He's always wearing shoes with loose laces so they fit comfortably. He got these, since he saw me with mine he decided to try them. He tried and and said it was such a difference, they are comfortable. He laces them normal without over tightening. They are sock-like, stylish and affordable. ### ā­ā­ā­ā­ Not very durable but good budget barefoot shoes for walking. *by on Reviewed in the United States April 24, 2024* These are a great first pair of barefoot shoes especially for walking. For running they don't work for me but milage may very. If you have the money then I would get something more durable like Vivobarefoot, Feelgrounds, Groundies, Be Lenka, etc.Durability - I wore these delivering pizzas for around 30 hours a week. The tread went flat in a few months. I kept wearing them and they lasted me about 11 months before the soles split and water got in. At some point the sole also started rolling over itself a bit which I felt slightly while walking. On the outside the treading all looks good but on the inside it's falling apart a bit. For $40 I can't really complain, but it is a little wasteful to have to replace your shoes once or twice a year.Comfort - if you like cushy shoes then these are a big adjustment. Once you get used to them, they are super comfy for walking; they really feel sort of barefoot. For running they don't really work for me because when I tighten down the laces, the tongue folds over and becomes a pressure point. They have thin, flexible, somewhat soft soles; I would not want to step on a nail in these but they provide great ground feel. The toe box is nice and wide so they don't squeeze my toes. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - šŸ›’ **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** ā€” Serving international shoppers since 2016 - šŸŒ **Shop Globally** ā€” Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - šŸ’° **No Hidden Fees** ā€” All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - šŸ”„ **15-Day Free Returns** ā€” Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - šŸ”’ **Secure Payments** ā€” Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ā­ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** ā€” Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.sn/products/457998292-whitin-mens-wide-toe-box-barefoot-shoes-sock-like-comfort](https://www.desertcart.sn/products/457998292-whitin-mens-wide-toe-box-barefoot-shoes-sock-like-comfort) --- *Product available on Desertcart Senegal* *Store origin: SN* *Last updated: 2026-08-14*
