Fila Skele-Toes 2.0

Were you a Fan of the Fila Skele-Toes? I reviewed them here on Losetheshoes.net and liked them as a minimalist casual shoe. Now Fila comes out with the new Fila Skele-Toes 2.0, will they be better?

The Fila Skele-Toes 2.0 will offer a more breathable upper shoe with thinner, stretchable two-ply nylon material, reflectors on the heel for nighttime visibility, and increased comfort with more padding. And Fila still has its patented EZ Slide feature, which combines the smallest two toes of the feet of the Skele-Toes for a great ease of entry.

I'm alittle worried about them adding foam on the sole that increased the comfort but I'm afraid it will take away from ground feedback.

My Favorite part about the Fila Skele-Toes 2.0 is that they offer a cooler look, not as childish as the first, now they are closer to the more stylish minimalist running shoes.

The Fila Skele-Toes 2.0 like the first still offer them at a great affordable price, coming in around $60.00 alot cheaper then their big brother the Vibram Five Fingers.

I look forward to getting my toes into a pair of Fila Skele-Toes 2.0 to offer a full review.

Fila Skeletoes Review

The Fila Skeletoes are Fila's barefoot walking shoe. They are made for men, women and children. Fila has designed them to be used in such activities as Swimming, boating, walking and light actitiy.

The Fila Skeletoes are a great shoe, but do they remind you of anything?

Five Fingers Look Alike?

Though they look similar to Vibram Five Fingers,  Fila does not see this product as a direct competitor to the Five Fingers. But Vibram does see them as a competitor as they are sueing over it Fila's design.

The skeletoes are not designed for running, which is one of the primary uses of the Five Fingers. Instead they are intended to be more of a shoe to be worn after you run or after you are done your workout you can slip on your Skeletoes, jump in the shower then head home.

Men, Women and Kids!
The Fila Skeletoes are barefoot shoes targeted to men and women and Fila is even went on step farther then Vibram and are making this product in kids sizes. Even kids need healthy shoe choices. They are certainly priced right at $59 for Men and Women and $49 for kids.

What are they made from?

The Skeletoes are made from a four way stretch, two ply nylon that is pretty comfortable. They have a bungee cord much like the VFF's Sprints and a velcro strap.

There are 2 things that the Skeletoes differ from Five Fingers:
  • The bottom sole of the Skeletoes does not wrap up around the toes like VFF's
  • Skeletoes have the last 2 toes in one pocket.

The Skeletoes are not meant to be worn for runnng and are not as high end as a pair of Vibram Five Fingers.
They are a great casual shoe that are cheaper then the VFF's
