WHITIN Toddler/Little Kid Wide Barefoot Shoes for Natural Growth W8K2

These have quickly become my son's favorite shoes. Ever since we got them, he basically doesn't want to take them off! He absolutely loves them. He really likes everything about them — the color, the shape, the flexible sole, and the fabric. They also feel lightweight and comfortable, and he seems to have no trouble running, walking, or playing in them throughout the day. As parents, we especially like the wide, minimalist design and the flexible zero-drop sole. They feel much more natural than some of the stiff, narrow children's shoes we've had before. Honestly, it's hard to ask for more when your kid genuinely wants to wear the shoes. We're very happy with them, and we're hoping to keep buying the same style as he grows into larger sizes. Definitely a winner in our house!

I love this brand of shoes and have bought them for years for my older boys. This was the first time buying the toddler sizes. They were great! Easy to put on, comfortable to be worn bare foot/no socks, wide for his wide feet. Just a great all around shoe. Only downside - the tongue is so short. I wish it was like a whole inch longer, but I’d buy them again as is bc I love the brand! They also dry pretty quickly in the sun.

Absolutely love these they have great grip their light so he's not tripping on everything or having a hard time walking comfortable for walking around on hard surfaces like around the mall and out and about like at the park or hiking on rocks they don't sleep off easy slowly hug the foot really good the velcro Tabs are super easy to grab that's not a pain in the butt to get them on or off and they're actually durable wash them three times they've been thrown all over the place and are still solid absolutely love these for the price and they look great only problem is the child outgrows it faster than it can be worn down LOL bought three of these in different sizes all great

My son absolutely loves these. Great for us little feet. Wide toe box, easy to put on and flexible. Only shoes we buy now

These are great shoes for the price, good quality. My toddler has very large wide feet and they fit great, regular kids shoes are way too narrow. I plan to get a few more colors. They are flexible to help with balance and still allow them to use their feet to feel. Highly recommend. Very breathable and lightweight. No issues with running around and helped feel the ground.

I previously purchased these for my toddler in a smaller size and different color way. Loved them so much so it was a no-brainer to get them again in a bigger size. I still love the wide toe box, flexible sole, and double Velcro straps that make getting chunky toddler feet into the shoes easier. My only complaint this time though, is one of the straps is unusually short and is constantly coming undone. Luckily the shoes still stay on despite this flaw, but it is a nuisance.

These are truly wide. I compared them with Ten Little shoes, and these are by far a more anatomical shape. They don’t really smell, and I’m extremely sensitive so I would know. I was concerned they would be cheaply made with toxic materials so I am pleased that they seem to be a pretty decent quality. I do wish they had a cotton option, as I prefer natural materials. But considering the cost compared to the other brands I was looking at ($60-80 per pair) these are something I will definitely buy again. CONS: The downside is that they are kind of heavy. They are flexible, but I guess the sole material is dense because I am surprised by the weight of each shoe. My 18-month old toddler needed time to adjust to how to walk in them, but then again, previously he had only worn very lightweight leather moccasins. Update: I also purchased a pair of STQ shoes here on Amazon to see if they might be lighterweight. Unfortunately they are not– in fact, they surprisingly were half an ounce heavier per shoe! (A size 8 Whittin was 4.12 oz, the same size shoe in STQ was 4.75 oz). However, I decided to keep the STQ because of one reason: although Whitin is wide, the velcro strap is too short. Maybe my son has high volume feet, but when he put the shoes on with socks, the velcro strap wouldn't reach over his foot unless I squeezed it much more than I felt acceptable. In comparison the STQ velcro strap reached over his foot with no problems. Also nice about STQ is that it came in at almost $15 cheaper than Whitin, and the tongue of the shoe fully lifts up making them super easy to slip on. Overall I am very pleased with Whitin and STQ shoes here on Amazon. Other than being heavy, they are very good budget-conscious barefoot shoes options for toddlers

Good quality shoe, barefoot style without a big sole. Wide toebox so didnt work for our narrow feet, but would work great if you had a wider foot. Cute, easy to get on and off.

The product arrived on time, in excellent condition and appear to be exactly as described. We followed the seller's method of measuring the foot and ordered based on the seller's size chart. The shoes fit perfectly. Quality of fabrics and workmanship is excellent. These shoes have been hand-washed and air-dried with no visible signs of shrinkage or discoloration. I have no reservation in recommending this product or seller.
