They look like reinforced socks. A new ‘shoe’ by startup brand Skinner is among the most minimal footwear we’ve seen.
Skinners ‘shoes’ offer little more than skin protection. Made with a sole of “dual-coated, anti-abrasive polymer,” they slip on like a sock and roll up small enough to fit in a pocket.
This in-between footwear was inspired when Czech inventor Petr Procházka was packing for an ultralight backpacking trip in Norway.
