Ok.

Dear Aalto, I am writing to express my dissatisfaction with a recent purchase I made from your esteemed company. I'm appreciating the quality and craftsmanship that your brand is renowned for. Regrettably, I recently encountered an issue with a pair of shoes I purchased on 16/12/23. The specific product is Skinners Socks, and my order number is - 2761675, 16.12.2023 00:41:10 Upon inspecting the shoes after a few days of use, I discovered a tear in the rubber, which was surprising given the reputation of your products. I take pride in properly caring for my belongings, and it's disheartening to encounter such a defect after only a short period of ownership. I have attached photographs that clearly depict the tear in the rubber. I kindly request that you thoroughly investigate this matter and provide a resolution at your earliest convenience. Whether it be a replacement pair or a refund, I trust that Aalto will uphold its commitment to customer satisfaction. Thank you for your understanding. Sincerely, Yuval Delshad 28 Kinamon ST. Tzur Hadassa, ISRAEL. YDELSHAD@GMAIL.COM +972-528650003 31/12/23

Absolutely perfect when paddling. Holds really well when landing, even on slippery cliffs. I've also used it outdoors, it also works on snow and ice.

— Show original

These were miserable. Not breathing at all.

— Show original

Very comfortable on the feet and pack into a small space. A little moisture on the ground doesn't hurt, but these happen to get completely wet, so they might not dry as quickly as you might expect.

— Show original

Quite ok, but not very ecological (the bottom seems to peel off the plastic).

— Show original

Came acquired as Black Friday. Long thought about these, yesterday walking for the first time in these -1 degree frosts so worked well and did not freeze. for the first time after a great product, keep but remember to take a tight / tight size.

— Show original

Comfortable and light. It's a bit of a guess how long these will last, but at least no significant wear and tear has occurred during the first few months.

— Show original

Good for wading across streams, stays on well and feels good on rocks, the downside is that it dries very slowly.

— Show original

They work well as protection for the soles of the feet when crossing, and the grip on slippery stones is great. I also use it as a camp shoe in the evenings, where it does its job, but is sweaty in the long run. I could imagine that in an emergency situation, after the actual shoes fall apart, I could walk off-road with these, but especially in forest terrain, you can feel the pine cones and branches. They feel surprisingly loose when put on dry, but settle into place after getting wet.

— Show original

They wear out quickly, which is to be expected.

— Show original

The others are already going when the first ones were worn out. A little sweaty in hot weather, but easy to wash off at the end of the day.

— Show original

Also works well in open swimming.

— Show original

Too thin, although used a little.

— Show original

Great barefoot socks. A firm base. I've used these at the gym, dancing, and outdoors on soft terrain.

— Show original

In summer, great and safe to use on the beach and while swimming. When I'm out in the summer, I like to still wear socks, because they restrict mobility a bit. The size is still good, because I think that a smaller size would have left the toes too tight.

— Show original

You feel really good on your feet. Choosing a size is difficult, even if you measure your foot. It would be best to try it out. Now I ended up using the size L for a 26cm long leg, the smaller size was too tight for the other leg and the small extra size didn't hurt when walking.

— Show original

The best new experience of the summer. I recommend.

— Show original

I bought skinners as gym shoes. Based on the first time, they do their job well. When working out with a kettlebell and a plate bar, they are in place. I already noticed that the sock rotates on the leg when changing direction. It's natural when the rubber sole sticks to the floor and the lack of lacing allows the sock to roll. Step squat sets or jumps are questionable. SaaS to see how they survive. One star left due to the difficulty of venting. These are like narrow rubber gloves-- how do you dry and ventilate the sweat from the inside?

— Show original

Quite OK

— Show original

Very good durability in soles! They work for wading, swimming and diving. Have gotten wet countless times and the bottom has kept its shape 👌

— Show original

Great for working out in the gym. Also OK in the walking test, but remained for weight room use. They grind if you try to keep it in the office, for example.

— Show original

Very well fitting and versatile. A small minus in terms of sandability.

— Show original

I've liked the Skinners a lot. Easy to slip on and take a quick walk outside or go for a longer walk. At first they kept water, but not anymore.

— Show original

Oddly enough, even in these the toe shape is quite narrow and doesn't really give room for the big toe. Maybe not the best possible option for a weak bone sufferer.

— Show original

Really ok! My foot is the upper measurement of size M and I'm thinking between size L and M; I ended up in size M, which fits like a sock!

— Show original

Being used to barefoot shoes, they are perfect for the gym. Firm base, no sanding and good feel on the floor. No more shoes for the gym.

— Show original

I ordered 2 pairs of skinners for my children who walk barefoot all the time in them and often outside. They are thrilled and love the feeling. I think they will smell faster than the 2.0 skinners, which are easier to air out.

— Show original

Great sock shoe. A pinch of one star for sandability.

— Show original

Good on your feet. I keep another sock underneath so I don't start to smell. The balls sometimes fall off the bottom, but maybe there are enough for the coming years. Moisture is naturally not liked, i.e. "shoes" for dry weather If I don't come across anything groundbreaking, I'll buy others :D

— Show original

The grip is good and they are comfortable on the feet. The minus side is the assessment of the right size, the sizes were a bit big compared to the size I usually wear.

— Show original

Great for hiking. Crossing even the roughest rivers became easier when you have good grip. They are also comfortable to wear in the camp. 👍😊

— Show original

I've had problems with ankles when running with normal sneakers. I got these because I wanted to strengthen my legs in a different way and I have to admit that they work. I wear them with socks and that way I get them to be nice and snug. I recommend.

— Show original

Puts the blood circulating. Works!

— Show original

I have wide and high legs, so I don't sit very well when narrow and long. Absolutely fit to paddle things around, but I wouldn't go any more challenging with these because of the fit.

— Show original

Insanely good for walking on flat land as well as forest trails

— Show original

Also prevents slipping inside parquet floors.

— Show original

Works great for boating and SUP boarding, even on soft forest trails. I would not leave on very gravelly or rhizome terrain, the sharp shapes can be felt through the bottom.

— Show original

Is a good product. Be sure to choose big enough.

— Show original

Lightweight and convenient for camping or river crossing shoes. Good base. The only downside is that it dries out pretty slowly.

— Show original

Surprisingly short-lived, at least for outdoor use

— Show original

Great, as long as you stick to hard surfaces

— Show original

Really comfortable to wear and high quality. Now they have been in use every day for several months and still like new ones, although I have to mention the kilometers accumulated mainly on the road and in the forest. Size sizing is a bit awkward when there are fewer sizes and I hit a little awkwardly between two sizes. However, I ended up wearing the shoes nonetheless because the feel on the foot is just so lovely! Slightly sniffing the foot in the heat but not disturbing. They do not hold much water and should be turned upside down during drying.

— Show original

I was really excited about the socks beforehand, but having used these for the summer, I have found two clear areas for improvement: - In use and even in normal rinsing, quite a lot of black rubber chewing material comes off the bottom of the socks. There will be a bit of a bad conscience when these walks in the mrts, although a few pieces of plastic on a large scale really do no harm. - The sole does not breathe at all and your feet sweat immediately on a warm day. Sometimes it is necessary to take the sock off the foot so that the skin gets a little breath when the sock starts to get quite sweaty inside. All in all, a good product worth the price, and I've been using these all summer. I do not recommend walking on the gravel road and highway, but I like to exercise in the woods. Of course, drying takes a while, but when the socks turn upside down and leave in the sun, usually in 3-5 hours the sock is already dry. Yes, I would buy socks again, but I hope that over time, this product will also develop a little more functional.

* The product quickly became obsolete when I ordered this from varuste.net. * The second star comes from when I got to choose a product of my choice. * The product was just the right size * The product came with replacement and return pads, which I didn't need, however, and the product was neatly packaged. * The product is functional and comfortable to use. High quality and good feeling on the foot. There are no cons here in my opinion oo. I just fuck when I didn't order before, but I was waiting for the socks to come to another place. The whole body suffers from a stupid head.😅

— Show original

The socks stay well on the foot. You should definitely look at the Size Chart when ordering. I would have bought too big if I hadn’t done so. I have also made nice walks on socks on sandy roads. Still have withstood use well.

— Show original

Very convenient for sup-boarding.

— Show original

I am really satisfied!

— Show original

Good in use, good but feels like falling off your feet.

— Show original

Good socks, responded well to their size.

— Show original

Meets expectations. Fit the foot of the fun and the sizes correspond to reality.

— Show original

Sock shoes are good for the foot, with the wrong position of the foot these work well for me too! I can’t say if the size was a little big for me though, namely the sole of the foot lives a bit in the sock and has caused me a little rubbing of his head. The sock is also surprisingly warm in these summer heat, not terribly breathable that sock shoe.

— Show original

Really good even though the experience is still short term

— Show original

Durable, lightweight and good protection

— Show original

Quite a little used, but of good quality and certainly a good alternative to Crocse as camping shoes.

— Show original

The burglar alarm had been stuck in a sock, I had to remove it in another store, online order items. For the rest of the weekend, when I was walking on the skinners, the calves were really "sore". After a break of a few days, the walk is successful. The soles of the feet seem to like even these socks.

— Show original

Excellent for outdoor activities! I have recommended Skinners Socks to many of my acquaintances! At least 3 people have already acquired Skinners Socks.

— Show original

Excellent socks for sea and rocks.

— Show original

Awesome product! Makes really good feet to walk in shoes, no harm other than the sharpest obstacles. In the heat, of course, they sweat a little. I didn't come up with something bad to say.

— Show original

Very good ladies!

I like skinners very much, whole new experience running with those! I

— Show original

You don't seem to walk closer to this than walking barefoot. Works just as you might expect, the sizes are obviously a bit bigger because the size M feels just a little loose for your own 42-foot leg. The sock also doesn’t feel particularly tight, which may be due to the oversized size, but on the sloping surfaces the sock can easily spin on the foot. Personally, I would like more if the sock had a slightly higher shaft and some kind of tightening braid over the insole.

— Show original

These are fun to paddle. It protects well from all the worst sticks and sharp rocks, otherwise it is as if you are pawing with your socks and your toes are allowed to do their work in peace. Once wet, it takes a long time to dry

So far I'm really happy with these. I have had them in grass, sticks, gravel, pavement. Only thing I don't recommend is the gravel. Some of the trails here that are maintained are kept with crushed rock. It's a little hard on the feet. Not impossible but not enjoyable. Everything else is gravy. I want another pair.

— Show original

I bought for a child and these are pretty top feeling on the foot.

— Show original

Really comfortable in summer in nature and when moving around the cottage. Also suitable for barefoot running. Admittedly, I recommend following the recommendations for a careful start if Achilles tendonitis is not of interest.

Using it to protect the Ursuit MPS while warming up for waterskiing, perfect combination

— Show original

I haven’t tested outdoors yet, but indoors they work nicely as office shoes, they’re probably too hot in the summer. Note. When choosing a size you should keep in mind that they are socks and not shoes, mine are now a bit big

— Show original

The “small shoes” can fit in a nice small space.

— Show original

Just tested quickly like this but it will be a treat to go for a walk in the woods in the summer with this little pair of socks

— Show original

I was looking for barefoot shoes to replace the old ones but luckily I came across these fun outer socks! North feel foot walking surface is very good, on the basis of short periods of time, I had time to try out the snow. I can’t say anything about sustainability yet, so I give 5 stars with a small reservation.

— Show original

After all, these are not real winter shoes. Admittedly, these had to be tested and turned out quite well in a brisk walk. Thick merino wool socks were worn underneath. The feet remained dry and the soles were not slippery. May also act as a non-slip barrier for older people.

— Show original

Size M for passport 43 holders.

— Show original

Not that girl really like others in the summer pitä

— Show original

I am absolutely delighted!

— Show original

The product is good, size and all met expectations !!

— Show original

Good gym socks. in the summer I use the boat and the cottage.

— Show original

Pretty highs! The little frosts came tested and worked well on the run. Hold what I love

— Show original

Can't quite get to the sock feel, the bottom is quite sturdy and thick. Still, clever pulls on the leg and good "spare shoes," even though they feel disproportionately heavy. The cover does not hold water, wind or mosquitoes.

— Show original

It takes a little adjustment to use these, even though I have been wearing barefoot shoes for about a year regularly. The frozen mud felt pretty bad on the soles of the feet with these socks.

— Show original

Fun socks

— Show original

Tights and hold "socks". Fits well on the leg.

— Show original

Pretty nice, the sizes could be tighter and taller or tighter at the ankles

— Show original

Barefoot a-group, skinners' socks. The socks were just as Barefoot as I expected, good grip on forest trails, for a beginner it is worth starting the run from short distances, gradually increasing the distance and load. The size of the socks is awkward in itself, basically the size should be M in the summer and the size L in the winter, my feet are 270mm in size. I wear socks now with cold weather sealskinz waterproof socks, can go from all puddles and swamps. I recommend socks for walking and jogging alongside cushioned shoes. You get strengthened leg muscles in a whole different way.

— Show original

There should be more size options, but otherwise really good-feeling shoes!

— Show original

all summer on these

— Show original

Fits perfectly

— Show original

Absolutely wonderful feeling after wearing barefoot shoes for many years! Not suitable for hard surfaces, but lovely everywhere else, in the woods and at the cottage. Quick to take off and put on, but don’t feel so comfortable with socks.

— Show original

Works just as it should and it's annoying that you didn't buy them before. Walking on the asphalt teaches, but the terrain just peaks for a quiet trek. Time seems more enduring.

— Show original

Absolutely great socks for kayaking in use. With a few sweeps on the rough surface of the sock, the algae can be released from the stone and a good grip on landing.

— Show original

This is the best in the forest, when not all mule crabs bite their feet or dirt the soles of their feet, but they still know everything <3

— Show original

With little use but quite comfortable padding socks

— Show original

Sits like a sock, that is, well - even on a wider leg. The size classification is very true. The grip of walking is really good. So good that some of the moss comes with the sole of the shoe. The fact that the product is not protected against punctures in any way is a feature, not a fault (although I hope for a change in this). The product gets wet on the outside and gets wet on the inside quite easily if given the chance, but this too is a feature in fitted and thin shoes, and not a product defect. Holds well even when wet. Could you say that the product is exactly what is promised. No more, no less.

— Show original

Just lovely, I have now been using at work, I have to be jalkeila throughout the day and these legs do not get tired yes. They also work in the terrain. I also tried a swimming trip with Teno, they worked well there, but they dry out really slowly.

— Show original

Just what I expected. The L size fits well on 45 feet. Good to wear a thin sock with these, otherwise rub. The only downside is that on asphalt, the base wears out unnecessarily quickly.

— Show original

Have worked well both in kayaking and hiking as "camp shoes".

— Show original

Really good. I've used seem to bathing and paddling. They go into a really small space and feel comfortable on foot. Moving on the beach feels much safer with these than even with regular shoes.

— Show original

Acquired for hiking to cross rivers. Works well, takes up little space, weighs little, stays well on the leg and does not go with the power. The storage bag should be highly breathable to allow the socks to dry in their bag.

— Show original

Fits well on the leg. Good country feel. Good grip.

— Show original

The 39-40 foot size S was a passel. The model is quite long and narrow. The bottom grip is good, breathability a bit poor. Dries slowly even when turned upside down. They are doing well.

— Show original

Lovely. I am happy with my purchase = best summer acquisition. Skinners in use evokes a feeling in the soles of the feet! I have MS and I have decreased sensation in my legs. Delivery was fast! thank you

— Show original

A huge AHAA! Experience when the toes have room to move. I have used both asphalt and forest paths and works well, at least while walking. I look forward to testing in the run as well. In hot but too sweaty to use i.e. have to wait for a little cooler weather.

— Show original

I've just been sold. These are wonderful to keep, the legs do not get tired, but rather after a long work day nothing less than recovering for a moment when I walked into the sandy road Skinners. Hope to last very well intact.

— Show original

Absolutely lovely on foot! Good grip and country feel. They get wet easily, but at least I don’t mind myself.

— Show original

A very well-fitting sock, at least for my foot. The whole thing happened right at once. Does not squeeze, even if there is a wide leg. Really good grip on different platforms. No crumbs come off the bottom into the stairwell. It feels comfortable on the platform, as if walking barefoot. However, it protects well.

— Show original

Great weight shoes

— Show original

Really fun socks! The size was just a passel and I have been wearing socks while moving around the cabin. The plus is that the feet didn’t get wet even though I jumped to go on the rain-soaked lawn.

— Show original

Does not collect debris and keeps moisture well outside

— Show original

Free and soft feel of the path, the stones do not hurt, slips well on the foot. Lovely on your feet! Thus, for a wide-fledged, the condition of the little toes is still pondering.

— Show original

The model is quite long and narrow. I took the smallest adult size and the width is appropriate but too long. However, the grip of the sole is good and the feel of the country is great.

— Show original

Surprisingly comfortable, strong sole, making it durable. On very uneven surfaces, the soles of the feet are delicate, instead, for example, the ski slopes and the smoother forest road work. I have a couple of years ago severed fibula Karhunkierros Nutsilla, so this shoe will also help in strengthening the ankle area 👍

— Show original

I think the product is good but left a return due to an unsuitable size. Normally I wear a size 40 in my shoes. I ordered size M skinners and they were too big, the toe part folded while walking under the toes and I meant to curl up. I returned and replaced size S. They, on the other hand, were so jagged that a thunder toe became sore. Went to recovery too. Annoying when I would have liked but no suitable size was found 😞

— Show original

Heavenly feeling with forest walks! After use, it feels as if you have received a foot massage.

— Show original

One previously bought has been a hall shoe, just great. I ordered these as running shoes 😁

— Show original

I took a size xs 36-38, my foot 37-38, is a bit fair. I meant work shoes for indoor use, but the foot is sanded and hot. Maybe summer will go into outdoor footwear. However, comfortable on the foot otherwise.

The service from Varuste.net was spot on. International delivery to UK at reasonable rates & good communication. I have only worn these around the house so far but they feel good & well made for what they are. My only problem is that they do crush your toes a bit due to being a conventional sock inside. I only use toe socks now to allow my toes to spread naturally. My main intention for these is for when out walking these take very little space & weight in my pack but when I get to pub/camp shop etc I can take my muddy boots off to be considerate & walk around inside with these on without trashing my expensive walking socks. They should also have the ability to be a basic outdoor shoe when on rest days etc so fulfill the ”more than one use” rule for packing light so are allowed in my pack. I bought large which is good for my size 10UK except for the slight pinch on toes but I doubt you will notice this unless you are into toe socks normally. Would love to see these as a toe sock/shoe in the future if you're listening Skinners! I would buy them.

— Show original

Very suitable for indoor use. Personally, I would not buy for outdoor use.

— Show original

Light footwear was in search and this is where it is now. In the winter you can’t really get tested, but indoors they feel good.

— Show original

Dignified indoors and more focused on showing anaconda to the yard. I didn't dare to try longer trips in the winter.

— Show original

Good product.

Excellent shoes for all activities

— Show original

With the help of Skinners, I get much more out of moving around in nature than before! I know the temperature differences and shapes of the moss, the branches and the rocks, the skinners made me start running again, so I can really recommend these to everyone!

— Show original

Feels comfortable in warm air on the feet.

— Show original

Acting exactly the way I assumed. Personally, I ordered an xs size for my 39-foot because a smaller size was recommended. The skinners are a little too small for the tip of the thunderbolt. Should have gotten to try the s-size as well.

— Show original

Good and comfortable to wear. The sole is moderately water resistant. For 38.5 feet S size was just a passel.

— Show original

There is still limited user experience. For my size 40 feet, the S-size was too small, but the M-size feels a bit loose.

— Show original

The wife liked it very much. Intended for campfire evening "slippers" that pack in minimal space and are lightweight.

— Show original

Works well in the gym. Shoe size 43, their size 40-43.

— Show original

Quite nice, in cold weather, these paws are not enough.

— Show original

Great on foot! Admittedly, “sock shoes” are a bit problematic in terms of size: my own size is 40, and the socks are a bit of oil. The next size is 40-42, and again it should be a little too big for me. Also work when swimming, although they take a long time to dry.

— Show original

Treadmill, asphalt or chewing track. Everything goes. Excellent in the weight room. I recommend.

— Show original

For those who have been wearing thin-soled shoes for several years, the next step is basically, but the thick fabric does not dry overnight without a sauna, regardless of whether it got wet in a pond, lake or sweat. A small downside to also feeling when moving on a rock: a soft, non-tightening sock doesn't feel as secure for lateral grip as a thin-bottomed thin sole shoe. On a more varied surface, the difference is reduced when the shape of the foot and toes can be better used for grip.

— Show original

Works well, for example, at water crossings if you don't want to carry flags with you. Cons: dries slowly and the plastic sole gets wet after a couple of hours of foot sweating.

— Show original

Tested on hiking and swamp picking, works! Work with and without a sock. Feet likes the feeling of walking barefoot. Dries pretty quickly.

— Show original

First barefoot shoes. S whole passel to your own foot. Street shoe 41-42.

— Show original

Comfortable to wear. Works as intended. You may want to choose a size based on your shoe number. The bottom of the second skinners released water, a manufacturing defect.

— Show original

Light (of course) I found new, old muscles that haven’t been used in a while. The coating on the bottom feels durable. I recommend, are good.

— Show original

On a gravel-paved walkway for me, the stones felt too much on the sole of the foot, but I found a new way of moving on the asphalt-paved walkways. Real barefoot walking. I like it!

— Show original

Absolutely wonderful new experience. It seems to improve posture and mind.

— Show original

The product matched the description. Ladies on foot.

— Show original

Maybe the best shoes ever.

The goods were delivered fast with no problems. The Skinners are very comfortable and I can't wait to wear them more!

— Show original

Well-fitting, comfortable and just the right size. Excellent eg on a treadmill. Waiting for spring to get outside.

— Show original

The peaks of the sturgeons, had a peak feeling of fumbling in the snow although for a long time these cannot be walked on the snow when there is no water resistance above the socks. In summer, certainly the peaks

— Show original

The skinners are lovely

— Show original

A few times went for a couple of hours of walking. Great socks. The rubber sole is just thick enough that the pebbles don’t feel too much through but still get a good feel on the ground.

— Show original

Lovely! Run for about a week days and no noticeable wear has occurred. My leg size has usually been 45-46, I took L and it is a little too narrow in width. I buy bigger.

— Show original

Excellent, ultra-light all-purpose slippers that stay on your feet like socks and hold. For self-use in open-air swimming, road cycling as break shoes and in general in everyday use when you need grip and a good feel on a wet surface. I ordered the first pairs from the Skinners crowdfunding project and now a few pairs for family members from varuste.net. As a size, I recommend the smallest size for your foot - e.g. 40-43 is best for a 43 foot, for a 40 foot you should take the previous size.

— Show original

I did a first run with the dogs on the forest paths. It felt good to use the foot in a completely different way than with shoes. I also waded in the shore water. You can't walk on gravel, you can feel bigger sharp rocks. Ladies on forest trails. Minus the fact that the smallest size is a bit long, normally shoes 37. Drying also does not happen very quickly.

— Show original

After three days of use, I wonder why I got busy much earlier. As long as I get used to it a bit, then I have to test with longer walks (10+ races).

— Show original

After reading the annealing of their use in running and outdoor activities, I was surprised that these really are like children’s brake socks. The bottom therefore has a sand-rubber sole style and the fabric itself, ie the sock, does not hold water or wind at all. So I wouldn’t see these fit out other than on a dry path, asphalt, and the like. The little one now suffered from the idea of trail running when these really seem to be adult brake socks. Well, with the spring test then.

— Show original

Skinners stay well on foot when sinking in the swamp. The shoes would have stayed there.

— Show original

Very comfortable to walk, but do not stay on foot more than a few hundred meters. Although are strict. The stem should be at least 2-3cm longer and tight. Too bad when otherwise a wonderful feeling to walk ..

— Show original

Does anyone have experience with which one is best for women’s 38 feet? S or M?

— Show original

For a woman with a leg of 39-40. Size 40 too small. It's a pity that for every size you haven't made a slipper. :(

— Show original

I have run a few years and have used only the bare foot shoes. I don’t want to go on a fully barefoot organic run, the Skinners were love on the next run. Great grip, and after all, a "shoe" may have a better feel to the substrate than these. What I'm thinking about is ecology ... And how durable are how many loops can you run before the bottom starts to wear out. I only run on terrain / trails, so I think I will last much longer than consuming Lemminkäinen. Absolutely brilliant.
