SKINNERS 2.0 Marine

The minimalist design of Skinners 2.0 combines the comfort of socks with the protection of footwear. With a perforated insole, durable polymer sole and functional fibres, these are shoes designed to keep up with you on every adventure. They're made from the finest Italian fibres and anti-abrasive Swedish polymers using unique zero-waste technology in the heart of Europe.

This is a product that adapts to your body, activates every muscle and tendon, and lets your feet do their job. It simply lets you move without restriction. Thanks to their compact size and "second skin" feel, Skinners are ideal footwear for sport (short runs, exercise, yoga, water sports) and work just as well as a pair of backup shoes (travel, camping, hiking, cycling).

• unisex sock-shoes
• made in the Czech Republic
• season: spring, summer, autumn

TESTED BY TRAVELLERS

"We use Skinners for sport, walking in nature, and especially on our travels. They're lightweight, perfectly packable and suitable for practically anywhere. We completed our last trip with only Skinners, which we used in forests, on the beach, in the sea, and also for exploring caves. A pleasant discovery was how easily they wash, for example when you walk through mud."

USES FOR SOCK-SHOES

• Walking and hiking - Stretch out and activate your feet! The sock-shoes adapt to your body, activate every muscle and tendon, and let your feet do their job.
• Running - Enhance your training (recommended on soft ground) with thorough activation of all the muscles and tendons in your feet! One run in Skinners will give you a completely new understanding of foot mechanics.
• Water sports – The anti-slip and cut-resistant soles give you perfect grip, even in wet conditions, and help keep your feet safe near sharp corals.
• Exercise and strength training – Seamless sock-shoes with zero drop are ideal for indoor use and support natural posture during squats, deadlifts and other exercises.
• Travel – A ten-hour flight or bus journey can be tough on your feet – trapped in shoes simply because you can't take them off due to cold, dirty floors or unpleasant odours. Try Skinners instead!
