two-part, interchangeable footwear structures consisting of outer collapsible
"Skins" and an inner holistic orthopedic support section called the "Bone." The

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
