I am a Doctor of Chiropractic, so I'm very particular with how my children's shoes compliment the biomechanics of the human foot. The only shoes I allow my children to wear are Whitin shoes or shoes much like them. They look super cool, and they are very affordable. I have found that they hold up well. We have had these shoes for our son for months and are satisfied.What I love about Whitin shoes are the fact that they are built to allow the human foot to simply do what it was designed to do. This is accomplished in these shoes by having no incline in the heel (zero drop) so the posterior chain of your leg (calf and hamstrings) are not flexed and shortened, and by having a wide toe box so that your toes can spread out as far as they need to. A zero drop and a wide toe box allow for the proper motion of the 26 bones within the foot. When the foot moves properly, it absorbs shock. If the foot doesn't move properly, such as when you are wearing bad shoes (please note: 99% of shoes are made with an incline in the heel and a narrow toe box, and are therefore classified as bad in this doctors opinion), shock will not get absorbed by the foot as well and will get absorbed by your knees, hips, and spine, especially the low back. Whitin shoes are also great because they are minimalist and have a thin sole. This allows for greater proprioception between the brain and the feet (proprioception is the brains ability to sense where body parts are in space). In essence, when you buy shoes, you want them to mimic walking barefoot. This is particularly important for a developing child. Your child's feet can develop while wearing shoes that disrupt the natural biomechanics of the foot or you can ensure their feet develop well anatomically and mechanically by getting them shoes like Whitin shoes.If you have kids and need some good shoes, find yourself some high-quality zero drop, wide toe box shoes like Whitins!

Finding a kids shoe that is a reasonable price for growing feet (aka new shoes before they are worn out) can be hard especially when looking for an ergonomic, flexible sole, zero-drop, wide toe box, that is also cute (and still gender neutral). I love the adult sizes of this brand so was very excited to see a kids version. These do not disappoint! My daughter can be hard on shoes with all the running, climbing, hiking, and general outdoor living. She has only been wearing for about a month but they look like they are going to be very durable which is great as her feet seem to be slowing down in the growth rate. Would love to see more color options in the future but the gray she chose will do just fine!

My boy loves his shoes, he is on his second pair already. They are comfortable, fits well, true to size. Just the Velcro strap loses its grip after a while but otherwise a good shoe.

These are perfect for my funky foot boys. They seem to have “undercover†wide feet and these give them the right amount of movement. The shoes are durable and look pretty sharp. My kids wear them every single day so they do tend to need a new pair more often than I anticipated. However, they refuse to get rid of the old ones and we use them as backyard shoes. Highly recommend!

These are very comfy for my son with wide feet! They seem to be slip resistant, very breathable too! They are super light weight and bendable. They have the wide toe box. Perfect shoe for a toddler!
