FRESH COLOURS AND A MID CUT

A universal companion for every adventure

A new collection of mid-cut Skinners combining the comfort of Comfort 2.0 and the support of Compression 2.0. Multifunctional footwear that helps strengthen foot muscles and supports a natural posture. Inspired by fresh energetic colors that bring joy and lightness to your movement. The knit is firmer and more compressive around the ankle while still comfortably adapting to the foot. Regular fit ensures balanced toe space and maximum natural movement. We added practical heel loops for easy attachment to a bag or backpack. With proper care they can last up to 800 km. A compact companion for all adventures, especially for outdoor trips, gym sessions, hiking, travel, or time by the water.

Natural walking

BAREFOOT, BUT PROTECTED

Natural walking

Essentials respect the natural shape of the foot and give the toes balanced room to move freely while walking, running and during other activities. The sock shoes also support good posture and strengthen the muscles of the foot. Even after long wear, your toes stay comfortably spread and your foot can move the way nature intended.

Stability around the ankle

COMPRESSION AND KNIT

Stability around the ankle

The knit is designed to be firmer and more compressive around the ankle, giving stability and support with every step while still adapting to the shape of your foot. The mid-cut covers the ankle higher than Comfort 2.0 without restricting movement, yet does not rise as high as Compression 2.0. The higher compression gives you a confident feel on the move. This balance of support and comfort suits every kind of active movement.

A reliable travel companion

PRACTICAL AND DURABLE

A reliable travel companion

Practical heel loops let you hang the sock shoes on a backpack or bag. Essentials are light — size 41–42 weighs 285 g — and with proper care they will happily last up to 800 km. That makes them a reliable companion for every adventure, whether you are off into nature, to the water, hiking, running or to the gym. They are washable and combine practicality, durability and low weight in one minimalist package.

Everything you need to know

Everything you need to know

They are actually sock shoes. We have combined the best of both worlds into one handy entity - the freedom of a sock and the protection of shoes. Simply put, Skinners are a new breed in footwear.

To maximize your comfort and also ensure a longer-lasting fresh feeling, we recommend combining Skinners with thin cotton socks. However, it depends on your preference, both ways of wearing sock shoes are possible, so you can choose whichever is more comfortable for you.

No, don't worry. They have been designed to last and be durable. The material from which the sole is made is highly resistant to abrasion. The knit is seamless and does not contain any glues or anything else that could cause them to fall apart. Simply put, there is nothing to break. You can wear them however you want.

We have been wearing the same Skinners model for more than a year and they still hold up perfectly. But it also depends on whether you are a 110 kg guy and use Skinners mainly for road running, or a 50 kg girl, using Skinners as a replacement shoe or just for walking on soft surfaces. We can say with certainty that it is at least 800 km. However, from our experience, we can say that Skinners last longer than some types of running shoes for more than 150 EUR.

If you run in sock shoes, you will really feel like you are running barefoot. You have to concentrate more and gradually train your muscles and tendons to gain strength. However, if you are running on asphalt or other hard surfaces, long distances, or in dangerous environments or on surfaces you would not walk barefoot on yourself, we recommend sticking to classic running shoes.

Yes, you can. Put your Skinners in a mesh laundry bag and set the washing machine to a gentle cycle (30°C). We recommend turning the Skinners inside out to avoid damaging the fabrics and so you can wash them with your clothes. After washing, let the Skinners dry properly.

Don't worry! The initial shedding of the bottom layer is caused by excess material. It is a natural process and after a few uses the shedding will stop.

Yes, the Skinners are ideal for children as they support the natural development of their feet and are extremely comfortable thanks to their seamless construction. However, we recommend that you choose the right size.

Yes, that's a great idea. Thanks to their material, they dry quickly and are non-slip, which is ideal for activities such as paddleboarding, canoeing or walking on wet surfaces. You can also take them with you on a beach holiday and your feet will be protected from sharp stones or coral.
