SkinnersSkinners unisex-adult Minimalist Footwear

Need to buy a few more pairs

I changed all my footwear to the minimalist barefoot design.This one is more of a "sock" than a shoe. The advantage is that I feel the grooves on the ground, which I found interesting as opposed to shoes. Your taste may differ, but I use this to immerse myself in the walk or at the gym. It will look weird, however, when used normally in public places because it will look like you forgot to put your shoes on and just went with your socks :)Overall I would have given it a 5-star review, BUT I ordered the same thing for my wife, and there was an issue: the sizes offered are not comprehensive:- 38/39 was too big for my wife- 36/37 was too smallI was lucky with mine, which fit well, but unfortunately, my wife couldn't use them.I would advise the makers to add more sizes in between. Lumping them like this won't work for many people, and they'll lose a lot of customers and cause unnecessary returns.

Nice

Because there is no strap going over the foot to keep it in place, the skinners tend to fold around your foot if you do any quick twisting movement, they may be good for barefoot running and basic weighting, but they are not stable and will keep moving around and folding with any twisting movement

Its just like a sock with a sole added, is not as comfortable as we expected, I don't we can trekking in it , as stones can still hurt you , as the sole is soft. It's comfortable on flat surfaces.

Very practical specially as a combination of outdoor / indoor usages

It's not worth the money as soon as I opened it from the package the rubber rocks started to come off it. It is uncomfortable to wear.

The best thing if bought for being on the lake. Launching my boat swimming stepping on rocks it’s awesome. The only down side if you use them multiple days they get really stinky, tried camping with them for five days but they got too stinky flip flops are better but for a day boating, swimming, river walking or fishing, and cliff jumping they are awesome highly recommend

Really wanted to love these... I do like them, but let me share my thoughts.The Good:1. They're really nice for hiking/walking on certain terrain. Gives you a nice barefoot feeling and decent protection from stabby tree-roots and rocks.2. They are very easy to use in the water. Water drains out of them pretty well, so you can plunge in and out easily and they're easy to swim with. They are reasonably comfortable to wear when wet as well.3. They seem pretty durable. I've had them a few years... don't use them too often, but they're holding up well.The Bad.1. Sand tends to work its way into them pretty easily. They're a little difficult to turn inside out to clean, so it's a bit annoying... but not the end of the world.2. They're a little heavier than expected. A light pair of flip flops would actually be more lightweight.3. They take quite a while to dry. I use them for my canoe trips, where I'm hopping in and out of the water. They didn't dry completely between days.4. Mine got a bit of a smell after walking through some boggy areas... had to put them through the wash to get the smell out.... and even still, they have a weird odor to them... kinda like a chemical-rubber type smell.I love the idea of these. And in certain situations, they're awesome... I find myself reaching for a pair of flip flops or light shoes in most situations instead of these though.

These are so comfortable. I’ve been using them for road running and they shield the soles from the hot surfaces very well, allow plenty of free movement and give a true barefoot feel.DISCLAIMER: I spend a lot of time barefoot and run high mileage in minimalist shoes. My feet are already well adapted to barefoot style running.If you’re not used to walking barefoot it’s worth noting that you’ll feel everything through them so keep this in mind if you’re on surfaces with small rocks, roots, loose gravel etc. if you have sensitive feet that are used to shoes all the time it will feel uncomfortable until you toughen up your feet. On sand, grass and “soft surfaces” you’ll be absolutely fine.SIZING: These are true to size. I’m on the smaller side of a medium and there’s a bit of space on the toes but they don’t slide or move. They are well fitted and comfortable on my foot. I also prefer to wear regular socks inside for sweat absolution.These socks are not particularly breathable like cotton socks - which is perfect because if they were porous I think fist and dirt would get taken in through the material a lot quicker.The good news is they wash well in the machine. Leave them to air dry and they’re good as new.DURABILITY: They are very well made. There are no loose threads or rough seams. I couldn’t find reviews for long distance running on hard surfaces so I guess I’ll be the guinea pig.So far I’ve logged about 200 miles in these, running mostly on concrete and asphalt with a small patch on grass and sand on my routes. I walk in them too, but I dint track walking distance so can’t give a number on that.There are no visible signs of wear to either the uppers or the soles. I anticipate I’ll easily surpass the manufacturers conservative estimate of circa 500 milesIf you’re using these for walking, around the house or in the gym you probably won’t be repacking them anytime soon. They really are well made.Just remember if you are reading somewhere where there is sharp debris like broken glass, tacks or anything you’d ordinarily step clear of in socks, the same applies here. The soles are surprisingly robust, but could be punctured just like a thin shoe sole.The delivery speed from this company is phenomenal! They come from Europe and mine arrived in three days - both times! (I ordered a second pair as backup since I use mine every day).

Gave the first incarnation of Skinners 5 stars. They deserve it, the most uncompromising minimalist shoe I know [the official term is 'barefoot', but I dislike oxymorons, 'minimalist' more fitting], making all the competition less-than-minimalist. I'm hardcore, often going foot-naked if not entering a public facility, and down [walking/running] to ~ 25 degrees. Stopped wearing narrow toe-boxes in 1983, elevated heels [including running shoes] in 1994. This new version claimed numerous improvements: I trusted some of them, but was wary of compromise given the new insole; I don't fault them for the choice, these barefoot companies repeatedly thicken the outsole and/or add/thicken an insole, for example, in response to feedback on the initial design... situation is generally compromise or fail, otherwise they're running a charity. Sole Runners, e.g., adjusted by offering normal, 'wide' [still narrow], and 'extra-wide' [i.e., foot-shaped]. So I bought this new one - instantly disapproved, because of the insole and... because it felt different from the first. That initial feel-disapproval faded quick enough; the larger toe-box is appreciated. As for the insole, it is removeable [knew that], and, UNlike other 'barefoot' shoes like Vivo or Sole-runners, removing the Skinners insoles does not compromise the fit. The fact that the insole a] tightens the fit a bit, and b] buffers the ground-interaction a touch, makes it a better nature or athletic shoe where tighter fit and increased ground-insulation are desirable. I wear it day-to-day insoleless. Therefore, these new Skinners are an all-terrain vehicle. Like the 2-tone-blending more too. That I'm Czech, like the shoes, is a happy bonus. Five-stars-PLUS.

Fijn om op een warme dag te dragen om over het gras te lopen. Maar voor de rest niet. Gebruik ze niet om een ganse daag te dragen. Uw voeten zullen pijn doen. Stappen over keien puntige stenen is een no go. Zelfs niet met de inlegzool. Ik draag ze in mijn tuin tot ze versleten zijn. Maar voor andere activiteiten draag ik liever naar mijn bearfeet schoenen.
