Specs checked October 2026 from each Amazon listing. Sellers can change listings, and neither one publishes sole thickness or toe-box width in mm.
How they differ
Upper. The ASITVO lists a mesh upper with TPU overlays for structure and a reinforced toe, so it reads as the more gym- and trainer-like of the two. The WHITIN lists a plain fabric upper with a casual look.
Everything else is close. Both list a zero-drop rubber sole, a wide toe box, a removable insole and laces. Neither publishes a sole thickness, so we cannot compare ground feel on paper.
Sizing. ASITVO's listing asks buyers to measure foot length and check its size chart before ordering[1]. Measure first, then compare against the size chart on each listing.
Which one fits your plans
Pick ASITVO if you want a cheap first pair for gym sessions and want a bit more structure in the upper.
Pick WHITIN if you want a cheap first pair for everyday wear with a softer, casual fabric upper.
