He said they are incredibly comfortable. The soles have very good traction, but we think the tread may be small enough that they don't track in mud like his heavy work boots. The tread won't let them be dancing shoes, but his feet keep wanting to do a Happy Feet dance! The sole is just right - thick enough for cushioning but thin enough that he can feel the floor. That's great for balance. And the heel is not elevated - good for posture and proper balancing. They are delightfully lightweight. Even though they are lightweight, they give excellent ankle support. Though they give excellent ankle support, they are not restrictive in movement. We don't know how the manufacturer managed to make both things true in the same shoe, but it's wonderful! The toe box is roomy and will cause no overcrowding issues. He said, "The minute I put them on and stood up......I've never felt such freedom! Where have these been all my life?" I did order different sizes, just in case. I was expecting the 42 to fit, but his size 9 foot needs the 43. So the 42 is going back, thank you desertcart! We are glad for the color choice of all black, including the sole. That means he can wear them for "business casual". The construction is good, with quality stitching and crisp edges. The padding is thin enough that they should be cool, but that's probably what gives such great ankle support - and comfort, as well. He wore them around the house all day yesterday...said he didn't even want to take them off at night. "Bad idea," said I. We are hoping they can be machine washed - not sure about that. How many times did he ask me last night, "Have I told you how wonderful these shoes are?" He likes them so, so much that I promptly ordered him a second pair! And then... he suggested, "Why don't you get a pair?" Well! Why didn't I think of that! Review: Great Pair of Shoes - I really like these shoes. I own a couple other styles from this brand but the hi-tops are my favorite. The shoes feel light and aren’t overly rigid, like some hi-tops and other barefoot style shoes can be. For me, there is just the right amount of space in the toe box, which is an issue I’ve had with some other styles from this brand, and the shoe fits true to size after removing the insole. These are shoes that I can wear all day without worrying about if my feet are going to hurt afterwards. Which is something I can’t say about some of their other styles. Since it is a hi-top, it is a less breathable shoe so my feet do get hot in these but not any worse than some other standard style barefoot shoes. The material of the shoe itself is nice but turns the shoe into a fuzz magnet if you have pets. Nothing a lint roller can’t fix but a small thing to consider. Overall I feel the shoe is a well made, comfortable, all day shoe that can be paired well with any style from gym wear to business casual. ## Features - Reinforced vegan suede and minimalistic canvas upper with a more heritage look, ideal for ever-changing weather - High-top silhouette with quadruple-stitch padded collar for ankle support, creating more comfort and a better locked-in fit - Wide foot-shaped toe box allows the toes to wiggle freely, giving you fantastic barefoot comfort - Zero-drop, non-elevated sole for proper posture and balance - Flexible rubber sole allows your feet to move and strengthen naturally ensuring better muscle and tendon function ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B0CG687ZT8 | | Best Sellers Rank | #20,175 in Clothing, Shoes & Jewelry ( See Top 100 in Clothing, Shoes & Jewelry ) #121 in Men's Fashion Sneakers | | Brand | WHITIN | | Closure Type | Lace-Up | | Closure type | Lace-Up | | Color | All Black | | Cushioning Level | Minimal | | Customer Reviews | 4.1 out of 5 stars 1,191 Reviews | | Fit to Size Sentiment | Positive | | Heel Type | No Heel | | Inner material | Vegan Suede | | Insole Cushioning | foam | | Insole Material | Rubber | | Item Type Name | Sneaker | | Lace Closure | Lace-Up | | Material Fabric | Fabric | | Model Name | High Top Minimalist Barefoot Shoes | | Occasion Lifestyle | Casual | | Occasion Type | Daily | | Outer Material | Canvas | | Outer material | Canvas | | Pattern | Solid | | Seasons | All | | Shoe Type | Athletic Shoe | | Sole Material | Rubber | | Sole material | Rubber | | Special Features | Non Marking | | Sport Type | Weightlifting | | Strap Type | Fabric/Laces | | Style Name | High-Top | | Subject Character | Barbie | | Toe Style | Round Toe | | Unit Count | 1 Count | | Water Resistance Level | Not Water Resistant | ## Images ![Men's Wide Hi-Top Minimalist Barefoot Shoes with Ankle Support W823 - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71D4H2rKUAL.jpg) ## Available Options This product comes in different **Color, Size** options. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ He's been waiting for these shoes for 50 years! *by S***L on July 30, 2026* My husband said these are, hands down, the best shoes he's ever had!

I love these, they fit very well and so far they have not started to fall apart anywhere, the rubber is still glued on all the way around and there's no unravelling seams. My pinky and ring toes are still pressed in just a bit by the side of the shoe which is a slight disappointment but my big toes have lots of room which feels wonderful. Breathability is surprisingly good. They never feel too hot and they don't hold onto much stink. If you're not used to them they look just a bit funny at first but you get used to them really quickly and I think they look really cool compared to many other barefoot/wide-toe shoes. The material is a big part of this, it's very nice to look at. The rubber sole seems to offer the appropriate level of foot protection could expect and hope for from this kind of shoe. You can feel more but nothing is going to poke you. I plan on getting more so I can have some in different colors. I would love to see a wider variety of color/style options for this particular high-top men's sneaker shape as right now it is fairly limited. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.hr/products/572338326-mens-wide-hi-top-minimalist-barefoot-shoes-with-ankle-support](https://www.desertcart.hr/products/572338326-mens-wide-hi-top-minimalist-barefoot-shoes-with-ankle-support) --- *Product available on Desertcart Croatia* *Store origin: HR* *Last updated: 2026-08-14*
