eye on international distribution thereafter." About Skins Inc.
Skins Inc. created and is continuing to develop an innovative
two-part, interchangeable footwear structure consisting of outer
collapsible "Skins" and an inner holistic orthopedic support
section called the "Bone." The design allows consumers to purchase
one inner section, the Bone, and numerous outer Skins, resulting in
multiple style variations from the same pair of quality Bones,
always with the same feel and fit no matter which Skin is being
worn. Skins' objective is to create a new attire concept that
allows and encourages consumers to frequently change their
footwear, while experiencing equal comfort in all designs of shoes.
This uniquely positions the Skins concept between footwear and
apparel industries. For more information, visit
