Skinners Socks 2.0 Comfort

Rocky terrain wears down the soles, but they work well on sand or wood chips.

Erittäin mukavan tuntoiset, pyörii vain herkästi jalassa rinteisellä maastolla.

I’ve worn my first pair of "sock shoes" quite thin over the spring and summer; water seeps into the left one through a small hole in the sole when the ground is damp. However, I haven't really worn any other shoes except when cycling (and I’ve happily folded and packed them in my backpack whenever I’ve headed out in different footwear). The ankle issues I developed over a couple of years of wearing supportive sneakers vanished the moment I switched to these sock shoes and haven't returned. So, I bought a second pair. They aren't recommended for long walks on asphalt (which I do a lot of)—I’m not sure if that’s because the surface wears down the material particularly fast or simply because there’s no cushioning. The lack of cushioning hasn't bothered me yet, though my knees might get a bit more tired than usual if I slam my heels down instead of moving lightly on the balls of my feet. A friend warned me that once you’ve worn barefoot shoes for a few years, your feet won't tolerate regular shoes anymore, so I guess I’ll be sticking with this style. For winter, though, I’ll need something with a bit more sole—and preferably studs—but I can still wear that first pair of sock shoes indoors at the office. :)

It does what it promises, but once it gets wet, it never dries. A small minus for that.

I’ve used them a few times on rocky islands. The sole has great grip, and twigs or stones don't get inside the "shoe." Even sharp rocks don't hurt, thanks to the lightweight insoles. In my opinion, they’re great for use around camp, though I probably wouldn't wear them into the city.

Very fine for my training (weigths)

Good slippers for indoor exercise or trail running. It's worth choosing the size carefully because if the socks are any looser, they may start to roll around on your feet.

Otherwise nice but the ankle part is too short / weak grip, it seems like it will come off when walking uphill

The slippers are the right size, my usual size, and they're comfortable. So far, I've only worn them with the insoles and thin socks. They're great for gymnastics or as slippers around the house because they don't slip and they're easy to put on. I haven't tried them outside yet, to see how well they hold up over time.

I bought these as wading shoes with the idea that maybe when you get out of the water, cold water wouldn't get stuck on the bottom, but these (too) do, and that takes one star off.
