Review: Great protection while running - Running barefoot for 3yrs. Up until now, when the weather got too cold I use my Merrell Vapors 2. Not any more, these socks are brilliant. They are a mid point between barefoot shoe and barefoot. I've only done 20 miles so far, over rural roads with lots of winter debris on the ground that would have cut my foot for certain and they held up really well. You can feel everything, feedback is really good, but I do not think they are completely puncture proof. If these things fall apart - which I doubt they will - I'll be back to let people know how many miles it took to break them. I'm a barefoot size 42 and the Medium is slightly pinching my right foot. Update- My initial impressions seem to be holding up. I've clocked up more than 500 miles in these, always over rural country roads and parks paths in all seasons. They are beginning to show some signs of wear on the ball of my foot (the fuzzy grip is now flat in this section) but I'm still very confident running in them. I've hit some pretty bad trails and section of new surface road (loose chips kind) and I'm always impressed by the abuse these sock are taking. Maybe it's my light build or running style, maybe it's because I rarely do more than 15 miles in one go with these, but the only problem I've encountered is the horrendous stink from running in them without socks. I rarely use my other barefoot shoes now, unless I know I'll be running over exceptionally poor ground for a couple of miles.
Review: Perhaps a novelty? - They are a touch on the large side but are suitable. I’ve only used them a couple of times in good weather for short walks and for pottering around in the garden. I love being bare foot and would happily potter outside as such, but gravel and debris usually make this hazardous. These make it much easier. You will still feel sharp objects, but they haven’t penetrated the shoes. Feet do get a little sweaty. Can’t imagine using them in winter or if I were to be on my feet all day. If you aren’t used to being bare foot, do WEAR THEM IN GENTLY- take your time getting used to them, as they do make you use muscles/tendons (a physo will know better!) you weren’t aware of.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: The size chart on amazon isn’t working. i’m a uk size 11 (euro 45) so what size would i need? i’m thinking l or xl. thanks.**
A: I wear a large and my foot measures 273 mm and I usually wear 9.5uk/44eu. I would want my Skinners any smaller or they stop your big toe moving freely.

**Q: Any other different brand options out there that are better?**
A: nope - so far skinners + sealskinz waterproof socks are my daily driver in almost all weather conditions, including snow.

Only on the beach or in swimming pools i prefer to be barefoot for real or wear sandals or flipflops instead

**Q: I don't understand how to use the size guide.**
A: I bought a pair during the crowdfunding phase.  The size guide said if in doubt choose the smaller size.
I was always a UK size 8.5 but recently shoes are getting a bit tighter and I often need a 9.

The size guide split right down the middle with M up to 8.5 and L starting ar 9.

As suggested I took the smaller size and it fits perfectly.

**Q: How much do they weigh?**
A: About the same as a pair of socks
