The new level of barefooting: socks with durable outer sole.
When socks are not enough, but shoes are too much. Release your feet after a long day of trekking by switching to a pair of Skinners Sock Shoes, or wear them as your gym footwear. Try trail running in a way you’ve never experienced before, or use them to protect your feet when fording streams. The completely new sole material can stand up to hundreds of miles depending on the way of use.
The differences to the original are in cursive in the following list. Adding the insoles brings in a touch of protection, without introducing any structural ridigity:
Detachable 2 mm insoles
Better durability
Slightly wider at the toe box
Better moisture transfer
Main material: stretchy three-layer StretchKnit
Packs down into two small rolls
Phtalate-free
Seamless construction
Adhesive-free: machine washable
Hand-made in the EU
Includes a pouch for clean transport
It is wise to begin the use of barefoot products in short stints. Moving without any external support or cushioning gives your muscles and tendons a new kind of challenge. Give your body enough time to recover, and you’ll soon get into the world of barefooting.
