FAQs

How do I determine the correct size?

Refer to the Skinners sizing chart provided with the product or on the manufacturer's website. Measure your foot length and compare it to the indicated measurements for each size. A proper fit is crucial for comfort and function.

Can I wear Skinners for running?

Skinners are not designed as specialized running shoes. While they promote natural foot movement, they lack the cushioning and support required for high-impact running activities. They are better suited for walking, hiking, or casual wear.

How long do Skinners typically last?

With proper care and depending on usage, Skinners Comfort 2.0 sock shoes can last up to 800 km. Regular cleaning and avoiding extreme conditions will help maximize their lifespan.

Are these suitable for cold weather?

Skinners offer a base layer of protection and warmth similar to thick socks. They are not insulated for extreme cold. For very cold conditions, consider wearing them with warm socks.

Can I machine wash my Skinners?

No, machine washing is not recommended. Hand wash with cool water and mild soap, then air dry. This method helps preserve the material and shape of the sock shoes.

What is the warranty period for Skinners?

Please refer to the official Skinners warranty information for the most current details. Generally, products come with a manufacturer's warranty against defects in materials and workmanship.

Are the 'Aqua' models more waterproof than regular Skinners?

The 'Aqua' designation indicates suitability for use around water. While they offer good performance for light water exposure like stream crossings, they are not fully waterproof. All Skinners variants require proper drying after getting wet.

Troubleshooting

Sock shoes feel too tight or loose

Ensure you have selected the correct size based on the sizing guide. If still uncomfortable, check if the socks are fully dry and properly positioned on your feet.

Reduced durability or sole wear

Review usage patterns. Avoid excessive use on highly abrasive surfaces. Ensure proper cleaning and drying after each use to maintain material integrity.

Odor development

Wash with mild soap and cool water. Ensure the sock shoes are thoroughly dried before wearing or storing. Regular washing and proper drying can prevent odor buildup.

Not draining water effectively

Gently squeeze excess water out. Allow ample time to air dry. While designed for light water exposure, they are not fully waterproof and may retain some moisture.

Pros and Cons

  • Encourages natural foot movement and strengthens foot muscles.
  • Durable enough for extended use on various terrains (up to 800 km).
  • Versatile for hiking, travel, and as emergency footwear.

Cons

  • May require an adjustment period for users accustomed to heavily cushioned shoes.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: Skinners Comfort 2.0 Aqua are ready to wear straight out of the package. Ensure you have selected the correct size for optimal comfort and performance. They are designed to fit snugly like a sock but with added protection.

Compatibility: These sock shoes are compatible with a wide range of activities including hiking, walking, traveling, and casual wear. They are suitable for adults seeking to engage their foot muscles more naturally. While functional in and around water, they are not intended as specialized water shoes for prolonged submersion or intense aquatic sports.

Care: To ensure longevity and maintain performance:

  1. Cleaning: Hand wash with cool water and mild soap. Avoid harsh detergents or machine washing.
  2. Drying: Air dry completely away from direct heat or sunlight. Do not use a dryer.
  3. Storage: Store in a cool, dry place. Ensure they are fully dry before storing to prevent mold or odor.
  4. Usage: Avoid sharp objects that could puncture the sole. Regular use on abrasive surfaces will contribute to wear and tear over time.
