WHITIN Men's Wide Barefoot Shoes | Canvas Minimalist Sneakers | Zero Drop Sole

No son los primeros barefoot que tengo, y son mis segundo par de la marca WHITIN. La punta es ancha y te permite mover bien los dedos del pie, la suela es plana y muy flexible por lo que es como si fueras descalzo. los acabados son de buena calidad así como los materiales. De las mejores marcas para calzado barefoot sin tener que gastar mucho.

No se ven espectaculares y si se notan cuadrados pero ey, por el precio son de buena calidad, perfectamente amplios para abrir los dedos del pie y, si estás acostumbrado a andar descalzo o usar calzado minimalista, son bastante cómodos. Muy recomendables.

Buena opción para comenzar con el barefoot

After spending lots of money of custom orthotics and supportive shoes, a physical therapist suggested I should actually go the other direction and try barefoot shoes. She said many times foot and knee pain is the result of muscle deterioration and orthotic (super supportive) shoes can increase the issue because they provide so much support the muscles don't get as strong as they should. I looked up barefoot shoes and was taken aback by how expensive many of them were. I wasn't sure I'd actually like them, and didn't want to spend $$$$ if I hated the shoe. I saw a review that recommended WHITIN as a super affordable choice so gave them a try. I'll admit, I was skeptical. However, as soon as I put the shoe on for the first time, I was won over. They are very comfortable, the heel doesn't slip, the sole is flexible, etc. The shoe also breathes well so my foot doesn't get too hot. I now have an indoor pair that works better than typical slippers, and several pair to wear for everyday. I've been wearing WHITIN shoes almost exclusively for about 3 months now, and my feet are so much happier. I still have some knee pain, but it is a bit better. Despite the think sole, it is pretty grippy. Not sure how it does on wet surfaces, but it does well on smooth rock surfaces, gravel, pavement, slippery floors, etc. A few things to know about the shoe. The sole is thin. You will feel rocks and other surfaces under your feet. After all, these are barefoot shoe style. This means I can't wear them everywhere. If I were a runner, I probably would need more support for long runs or risk foot injury -- but I'm not a runner : ) My biggest complaint is the sole is pretty noisy on tile floors. For normal walking, it makes a soft clop-clop sound like a horse on pavement. Every so often the sole will hit just right and make a huge squeaking noise. Not a HUGE deal, but it took a while to get used to. With a think sole, I don't know how long the shoes will last. However, I've worn mine a lot while walking on pavement, and the sole is still fine. These shoes are definitely worth trying. With good sales, I ended up buying 4 pairs. I'm thinking I might get a few more in case they stop making them. At this point, I'm not motivated to invest in the "fancy" barefoot shoes. I don't think I could like them more than I like these ones.
