WHITIN Women’s Wide Toe Box Road Running Shoe + Zero Drop

Such amazing shoes for such a humble price! Severe plantar fasciitis person here.
I suffer from extreme pain from plantar fasciitis. Bought all the “official plantar fasciitis shoes” that cost $150 on up. They all sit on my rack. Altras were the only ones that worked but that cost $159. Saw Whitin shoes, zero drop and the PRICE. Could such a low priced shoe really work?? Tried it and I’m floored by its quality, simplicity and comfort. It doesn’t have any support insole built up like the main players but it surprisingly did not matter. It’s lightweight, beautiful elegant design and pure comfort even for my aching feet at ONLY $50. Most mornings I can’t even walk without limping in pain. When I put these on, it distributes my weight properly and lines my feet up and somehow that eases away the pain. Well ventilated, my feet feel dry and I can wear it all day. They are so comfy is sometimes forget to change into my outdoor Altras when I go for walks. For this price, I am getting more and buying some for my elderly mom who suffers from foot pain. This glowing review is not solicited from anyone. Just wanted to show how much this product helped my pain. No need to drop hundreds on shoes when this one does way better in every way. Highly recommend. Also, the slip in back edge is very handy.

“Wide toe box” should not be synonymous with “wide shoe size”
One thing I wish Whiten and other shoe brands that make “wide toe box” shoes would get clear on: “wide toe boxes” are not just of benefit to people with “wide feet” who wear “wide shoe sizes”. Those of us with medium/regular or other foot widths need shoes with wider toe boxes, too, but WITHOUT HAVING TO BUY SHOES IN “WIDE SHOE SIZES”. HELLO!!!That said, I LOVE shoes with wide toe boxes. They fit your feet more anatomically, and after wearing them, a number of foot and ankle problems I was experiencing just vanished. I don’t understand why the only thing we’ve had to choose from until recently are those awful shoes with pointy toes that cause so many foot problems. I also like the zero drop concept, but I’m not much of a fan of the barefoot concept. So I decided to try this style of shoe for everyday wear and just walking.This shoe style, though it supposedly is made in a medium width shoe size”, still is made for pretty wide feet. I have medium width feet. So these shoes are VERY wide at the toe for me, but since the shoe fits well otherwise, I’ll be keeping them.I inadvertently ordered a size larger than I intended, but now I’m glad I did. While this shoe has a thicker sole than the “barefoot” shoes, there still is not much cushioning for shock absorption or much in the way of arch support. Frankly I don’t know how they can market this as a “running shoe”. But once I added an insert with some heel cushioning and arch support, the shoe is much nicer to wear and walk in, and it conforms much better to the shape of my foot.I will probably buy another pair of these when they wear out. But seriously, I wish Whiten (and others) would also offer more of their “wide toe box” shoe styles in medium width shoe sizes.

My comfortable athletic shoe I’ve ever worn.
These are extremely comfortable! I have a Morton’s neuroma and these shoes are the perfect remedy. Lots of room for my toes without looking sloppy. Very light weight. I love the Whitin brand. I have 3 different styles (barefoot, high tops and these) and 5 different colors now. I walked all over Europe on 2 week vacation and that’s the only shoes I wore. I’ve worn all of them for months now and they wear very well. I’ve washed them in the machine and air dried with no issues. I wear an 8.5 wide and the 8.5 was perfect. They are designed wide. My feet are so happy!

I bought this pair of shoes because of the wider fit as I have wide feet, they are very comfortable and will probably buy them again. I am very happy with my purchase.

Mom needed a wider toe box runner. She wears these all the time. Good value for the price.
