Fila Skele-Toes

Fila Skele-Toes barefoot running shoes enable more people to engage in barefoot running, across the globe.

What are some of the features that made people seek out the original Fila Skele-Toes shoes?

People chose the original Skeletoes for the following reasons.

  • The Fila Skele-Toes were unique in that they only had four toes instead of five. People were able to slide their feet more easily into the shoe because their toes shared a slot.
  • The shoes had a three-point strap build made out of thick synthetic material. The three-point strap securely locked the foot in, making it feel very secure.
  • The upper material was made out of four-way stretch two-ply nylon. The side of the shoe was lined with a smooth and silky synthetic nylon material which felt good against bare feet.
  • The Skele-Toes tended to have a tougher rubber sole than other barefoot running shoes.
