Founded in 2014 in the Czech Republic by Petr Procházka, Skinners emerged from a simple idea: combining the comfort of a sock with the protection of a shoe. The concept was born during a summer trip to Norway when Procházka created a makeshift prototype to help a friend with an injured foot. Following highly successful crowdfunding campaigns on Kickstarter and Indiegogo, the brand quickly gained a global following for its ultra-portable, minimalist footwear.
