This footwear doubles as both a shoe and a sock

Updated

Skinners are a revolutionary type of footwear that combines the protection that shoes provide with the freedom of being barefoot. You feel like you're wearing nothing at all, but your feet are completely protected from whatever environment you're in. Plus, the shoe are perfect for almost every form of physical activity.

The Skinners' hard bottom layers protect your feet from rough terrain and their soft tops allow your feet to slip into the shoes like a glove. The sneakers' anti-abrasive double layers that coat the soles are designed to withstand sharp objects. They're also completely waterproof, which makes a misstep into a puddle a non-issue.

The Skinners only weigh 2.8 ounces, which makes the sneakers an incredibly lightweight and convenient option for those who are looking to cut down on bulk. Because of their sock-like design, they’re also portable, which makes them perfect for those always on the go.

Last but not least, the Skinners are made to fight against odor and bacteria — you can walk around in places where you’d never dream of going barefoot, such the airport or, even, on the infamous New York City subways.

The Skinners are machine-washable and currently sell for $59.90 on Amazon.
