  I definitely would watch a video of you comparing the Skinners with other cheaper shoe socks

  You went cold, but I've gone hot. I used Skinners in 100 (F) degree heat on pavement for a 3 mile run. I can confirm that even though the asphalt was probably north of 150, I felt nothing on my feet. I really expected to get burned, but they were well protected.

  I so want a pair of those. I started my barefoot shoe journey with cheap water shoes. It is a good way to start and not break the bank. I also made my own tire sandals for free.

  I&apos;ve been in Vibrams for 5+ years for exercising, following on from decades of martial arts being barefoot all the time.<br>I&apos;m very grateful for feeling I have very strong feet and ankles from all that as I approach my mid 50&apos;s.<br>Strength that will carry me into older age and hopefully keep me active.<br>I&apos;d love to see you test some of the cheaper versions as I may switch between the Vibrams, Vivo and the Skinner type coverings for my feet.

  There are now new, at least for me here in Europe (Switzerland) also as a half-crew version! Is a bit more comfortable in some activities than the &quot;normal ankle high&quot;... greetings from 🇨🇭🙃

  I wore Randy Sun beach socks when I got dressed once. <br>The best part is that the feet are ventilated when wearing the skin-tight socks, which have a 3mm sole.<br>They lived up to their promise of feeling just like bare feet while protecting against cuts and hot sand/hot pavement. <br>I even wore them while shopping at the big box store and the fast food restaurant, and the shoes did great protecting the feet. <br><br>I felt like the modern descendant of a hippie when wearing sock-shoes and most of us who did the research into 1960s counterculture movement knew it was the barefoot hippies that led to businesses of many types turning away people (some of who were also shirtless or both barefoot and shirtless) with those &quot;no shoes, no, shirt, no service&quot; or &quot;no bare feet&quot; signs, since it was deemed unconstitutional to turn people away based on race...

  I have them they are nice and comfortable, protective, &nbsp;grippi, not warm (better wear another sock underneath in case) but I would NOT &nbsp;reccomend them for sports that require high pressure lateral movements and fast changing directions while running, since they tend to move around when subjected to lateral pressure. I also used it for surfskating and they ripped under the lateral pressure that surfskate movements create.

  I use those for winter swimming! Good for walking into the lake over rocks. Not my fav for snow, too thin to get protection from the cold.
