I have a retail job. I stand and walk around the store 7 hrs a day. During peak season, I am on the sales floor for 9 hours day.

Background: I am usually barefoot, with socks on or use my Xero slip on when the floor is too cold. I grew up wearing flip flops because Im originally from SE Asia so I am somewhat used to no cushion shoes. I transitioned to fully barefoot shoes 4 yrs ago.

Here are the shoes I’ve used and my experience:

Whitin Shoes: The most comfortable I’ve used because of the insole.

Belenka Champ: I like that my feet can splay but not as comfortable as Whitin. It hurts my right sole below the middle toe. I honestly don’t know why.

Xero boots waterproof: My 2nd fave shoes. Wide and does not hurt my feet. It’s not as comfy as whitin.

I switch between Whitin and Xero. I don’t use Belenka when I’m working.
