Product Information

Full details

The Skinners Comfort 2.0 are minimalist, ultralight sock shoes designed for adventurers seeking flexible freedom and ground protection. Ideal for travel, hiking, or as a backup pair, they offer a barefoot feel with a durable sole and impact-absorbing footbed. A potential caveat is their minimalist design, which may not provide the same level of support as traditional footwear for extended periods on hard terrain.

Measure your foot length and consult the sizing chart provided by Skinners. Ensure a snug but comfortable fit for optimal performance and feel.

Can I use them for running?

While they offer a barefoot feel and some protection, they are best suited for walking and light activity. For intense running on varied terrain, consider if the minimalist design meets your specific needs for cushioning and support.

What is the main benefit of the removable footbed?

The removable footbed provides additional impact absorption, enhancing comfort during use. It can be removed if you prefer a more direct ground feel or for easier cleaning.

Troubleshooting

Sock shoes feel too loose or too tight

Ensure you have selected the correct size. Refer to the sizing guide and measure your foot accurately. The stretchy material offers some accommodation, but proper sizing is key.

Soles are not gripping effectively

Check the sole for any debris or mud that might be obstructing the grip. Clean the sole with water. Ensure the sock shoes are not excessively worn.

Odor development

Wash the sock shoes with cold water and mild soap, and ensure they are thoroughly air-dried before use or storage. Storing them dry will help prevent odors.

Foot discomfort after extended wear

Consider if the terrain or duration of use is suitable for minimalist footwear. Try using the removable footbed for added cushioning or take breaks to allow your feet to recover.
