Skins Footwear combines high fashion and high technology to achieve new levels of comfort and style for men and women. Skins shoes are made of a unique, two-part structure consisting of an outer collapsible "Skin" and an inner support section called the "Bone."
"It's a great concept and it gives us something fresh and exciting to offer our consumers and something to help engage our customers in conversation," said Domingo Winstead, manager of the J Stephens store in Palm Desert, Calif. "Skins helps position our store as the leader in fresh technology."
Said Lee Feil, manager of the Footwear Department at the James Davis store in Memphis, Tenn.: "We sold through 14 percent of our Skins inventory over the past two weeks, which is great for a men's department at the end of April. We have already had repeat customers for the brand, and I know having Skins here has helped create an overall upward trend in our department."
The Skins spring collection, which features premium leathers and detailed workmanship built around the framework of the company's third generation Bone and foot bed, was shipped to retailers with a controlled inventory strategy in mind.
"We did our best to plan our inventory so that customers could continue to fill in styles over the course of the season," said Dennis Walker, senior vice president of sales at Skins. "It's a mixed blessing that some of the shoes are performing beyond our expectations, and we're having to play catch up. But it's obvious that the fit and comfort of the spring line is helping the brand overachieve in some areas."
The Skins spring collection can be found at retailers throughout the U.S., including Footwear Etc. in northern California and San Diego; Sportie LA in southern California; Casserd's in San Francisco; Saxon Shoes in Richmond, Va.; Littles in Pittsburgh; Hawley Lane, Conn.; Summerlin Shoes Las Vegas; The Walk Shop Tallahassee; Battaglia in Miami and Aventura, Florida; Blue Sole Shoes Philadelphia; Island Shoes Pawleys Island, S.C.; The Shoe Market Greenville, N.C.; David Parker Shoes Nashville; and Bachrach stores in Nashville, Dallas, McLean, Va., Oklahoma City, and Troy and Novi, Mich.
