5.0 out of 5 stars Don’t fit cubby feet

2026-02-18    -Mama knows

Super cute shoes I got for my grandson, but his foot is very fat so they did not fit trying to get his foot inside the shoes. Don’t have a lot of give so if you’re Child has chubby feet you might have to send them back like I did.

These seem to run a little small. I tried to do 2 sizes up from the current size and they didn't seem nearly as big as I had expected.Otherwise, they are holding up well, are reasonably priced, especially when on sale, for barefoot style shoes. My child doesn't complain about them and he has with other shoes so they must fit reasonably comfortably.

Whitins have become my new go to barefoot shoes.I have a gaggle of kids, and budgeting for barefoot shoes for everyone can get tricky when some brands cost an arm and leg!I have tried mannnnny brands. I’ve even been a reviewer for one.Theses are better than “Walmart brand” if you will, maybe a little half notch down from top brands, but in my opinion high quality.This pair is very nice and wide to box, flexible, totally zero drop, easy to put on with some stretch and stretchy laces. Laces don’t have to be tied!My 6yr old will love these!

5.0 out of 5 stars The best budget barefoot kids shoes

Whitin shoes have been our go-to for barefoot shoes. They're zero drop, wide toe box, very flexible. But for the little kids/toddlers, these pull straps do not work. My chunky footed 1.5 year old needed the tabs removed. But they don't tie, so i will need to buy different strings. I wish Whitin would come out with barefoot winter boots.

Slips off easy while playing

4.0 out of 5 stars Lightweight

These shoes are easy for my little one to take on and off with the pull lace at the top. They are cute and comfortable. They are also lightweight, breathable and a little stretchy. Definitely an everyday shoe. My girl is a bit rough on her clothes so I dont expect them to last too long as this type of material will most likely rip sooner than a leather type shoe. They arrive in plastic wrap (see picture) so not very presentable as a gift.

4.0 out of 5 stars Snug opening

2026-02-25    -Amazon Customer

We really like these overall. They are a little difficult to get on, as the opening seems elastic. I have to stretch it really wide, and really shove my son's foot in, even though he has plenty of toes space. Otherwise it's great!
