Skinners 2.0 Essentials - grape
The new barefoot feeling with the Skinners 2.0 Essentials
Experience the pure barefoot feeling with the Skinners 2.0 Essentials —now with a tighter fit, higher waistband, and improved fit. This evolution of the Comfort model offers the same minimalist concept, but feels noticeably more compact and stable on the foot thanks to the new stretch knit .
- Barefoot sock shoes for indoor and outdoor use
- Color: Grape (reddish-violet)
- New, firmer stretch knit for more support
- Slightly higher waistband – closes above the ankle
- Finger loop on the heel for easier putting on
- 3 mm thin, flexible barefoot sole for a natural walking feel
Essential vs. Comfort – what’s new?
While the Comfort model is particularly soft and snug, the Essentials were specifically designed for a slightly more compact, secure fit. The new stretch knit provides optimized support and stability without restricting natural freedom of movement. Furthermore, the waistband of the Essentials extends about 1.5 cm higher above the ankle – for a comfortable, protective feel.
Natural running with better protection
The Skinners 2.0 Essentials combine the lightness of a sock with the protection of a shoe sole. Their 3 mm thin, flexible sole allows for intensive ground contact, activates the foot muscles, and supports a healthy, natural gait. Ideal for barefoot beginners and experienced runners alike – whether at home, in the gym, or on the go.
Made in Europe from high-quality, vegan materials—durable, washable, and completely without adhesives or seams. This way, you stay flexible, sustainable, and at the same time, ensure conscious foot health.
Whether you're working out, doing yoga, hiking, camping, or just going about your day, the Skinners 2.0 Essentials adapt to your lifestyle and give your feet the freedom they deserve.
Shop note:
When you first start barefoot running, you may experience some muscle soreness. This is completely normal and supports the natural strengthening of your foot muscles – an important step toward healthy, strong feet.
