FRESH COLOURS AND A MID CUT

A universal companion for every adventure

The new generation of Skinners Essentials 3.0 sock-shoes is the perfectly balanced partner for all your adventures, combining the best features of our most popular models. It builds on the popular mid-cut design and energetic colors of its predecessor, Essentials 2.0. Borrowing the snug slim fit design from the Compression model for maximum stability during movement, it also serves as a great alternative to the iconic Comfort model. The result is a lightweight, exceptionally practical barefoot shoe that naturally strengthens foot muscles, supports correct posture, and fits like a second skin thanks to the higher knit around the ankle. With high durability of up to 800 km and proud in-house manufacturing in the Czech Republic, you get a versatile companion for the gym, hiking, trips to the water, and traveling.

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.

Ankle Stability

MID-CUT

Ankle Stability

The knit comfortably wraps around the foot and adapts to its shape, while the higher mid-cut fit provides great stability and ankle coverage. From the Compression 2.0 line, Essentials 3.0 borrows a snug slim fit in the toe area, ensuring maximum confidence with every step without restricting natural movement. The result is a perfectly balanced compromise between support and comfort, ideal for all types of active movement.

A reliable travel companion

PRACTICAL AND DURABLE

A reliable travel companion

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.
