Durable and great for super wide feet!
I rarely write reviews but I love these shoes so much I felt like I had to. I like them so much that I'm considering buying a couple extra pairs just in case they get discontinued.Fit: It's super hard for me to find shoes that fit. I am a size 8 with triple wide feet. However, my width is only in the toebox-- my feet and ankles are of normal thickness. Most super wide shoes don't fit me because they make parts of the shoes besides just the toe box wide, eg, the top part and ankle. However, these shoes fit amazingly! The only perfect fit out of the box I've ever had without getting custom shoes. The toe box is actually wide enough!!! (I ordered 8 Wide.)Comfort: The shoes are very basic. Just canvas and rubber soles, no support. That's the point of zero drop shoes! I find them very comfortable, but if you want arch support and padding, this isn't the shoe for you.Durability: They are surpisingly durable! First pair was still doing well after nearly a year, replaced it bc I got them too dirty to clean. I first ordered a pair in Nov 2023. I wore that pair most days a week for nearly a year, putting at least 500 miles on the shoes. Even after that, they were still in good condition. Super impressed by their durability given that it's a relatively cheap ($30-45) product on Amazon. I ultimately replaced them not because they were falling apart, but because I got them so dirty while walking in mud that I couldn't adequately clean them.Style: I love that these shoes are plain white canvas without any obstrusive patterns or logos. The white version would be perfect if you wanted to paint or embroider a custom design on a pair of shoes. They look classy and go with any outfit. Because they're versatile and lightweight, they're great for traveling.

Simple, smart looking shoe
This Whittin Canvas She is my second barefoot shoe. I resisted barefoot shoes for a long time because I thought they were just for young runners, but for a senior like me who cares more about comfort than fashion, they have made me a fan. However, I find it essential to wear them with orthotics. Mine are custom made. The liner in the shoes are removable. These shoes are not meant to be sturdy, supporting or even long lasting. But they are super comfortable with a toe that allows plenty of wiggle room. My first pair was like walking on a cloud, but the mesh left my feet chilly when the temperature got colder. I didn’t need boots, just a heavier material. This does the trick. They’re not as light and soft, but when the canvas gets wet, my feet will be dry. They look to be perfectly well made. The red is a great shade and, funny, flat and wide as they are, my friends admire them and have asked where they can get them for themselves.One slightly confusing thing was in the Amazon website listing. I chose a size 10 1/2, but when I went to checkout it was listed as size 11. Fortunately, I saw the number 42 listed, and I know that to be my size. I tried them on as soon as they arrived, and, happily, it was a perfect fit. I don’t know why the size was listed as 11, but if that happens to you, ignore it.

Thin but comfortable
I wear the heck out of these shoes they're truly wide and made out of canvas, they do have a little bit of grip on the soles but definitely not slip resistant. They don't have as much padding as other wide shoes but they're still comfty just not as cushioned. Not overly clown looking either that was a fear of mine amd of you already have a little bit of bunions forming it's wide enough to not push on the sides of your feet like another brand pair I have. I would definitely recommend these.

Gonna get another pair!
I purchased these shoes in 2023 in preparation for a trip to Florida. I did not have time to break them in before my trip, but found that it was not necessary. They were ready to wear out of the box. My ideal shoe size is a 10.5 wide. Most designers and manufacturers stop making half sizes after 8.5 or 9.5 and also if they offer a wide width size, in my opinion they are not attractive shoes, so I was happy to find these. I needed a lightweight, simple tennis shoe to hold up against the egregious amount of walking I was going to be doing all over Orlando, Florida for a week, as well as hold up to the weather and be comfortable, supportive, and breathable enough to not cause leg fatigue, blisters, or other such irritations. These shoes really met and exceeded my expectations. They were easy to pack and super comfy the whole week I was in Orlando. The wide width of the toe box took a day or two to get used to as it seemed to be a little wider than what I was used to in a standard mass produced wide width. I felt like I was wearing clown shoes the first couple of days. I did not seem to suffer from any foot, heel, knee, or hip pain as I usually tend to. These shoes are simple and not clunky. I did not mind the thinner soles. I did not mind that there was no physical arch support because the width of the toe box allows your foot to lay more naturally and therefore you are walking more naturally and the harness of the shoe hugs the middle section of your foot when snuggly tied to help give support. I am definitely going to get another pair of these tennis shoes as summer is just around the corner. These shoes paired incredibly well with the Whisper Deer No Show Line Socks that I also purchased specifically for this trip. They complimented each other wonderfully. As I continue to wear these shoes throughout the year, I find that the quality has held up too, no pulling of the rubber trim from the canvas, no fraying of the laces or the lace holes. These have been really great tennis shoes.

Awesome!
These are great. Great first barefoot shoe, it’s affordable and very comfortable. Literally feels like I’m not wearing anything, I’ve literally laid on the couch forgetting I was even wearing shoes. 10/10! Super flexible and it was true to size. Shipped insanely quickly too. They squeak like basketball so I’m guessing they’re slip resistant. Love, highly recommend.

Mostly Love
I love the look and fit of this shoe, but the canvas at the top of the laces adjacent to the tongue started to wear in about 3-4 months.I guess that's what you get with a cheaper barefoot shoe. But I will likely but them again when they're worn past the point of being able to wear them. Currently the wear is just cosmetic.

Very comfortable.
Very comfortable. Practical use in the gym especially if you are carrying heavy weights. It is just like being barefooted when doing dead lifts. Co gym workers loved the color. It's wide width keeps your toes relaxed even when standing for a long time.

Very similar to Splay Athletic's shoes (except for these not being flat)
Quality seems good, and I don't think these look that weird irl. I wish I went like half a size up though. I'm a 6.5 in almost all shoes, and the 7's cause my big toe to touch the front of these a bit. Still comfortable though, so not returning
