I already have my own opinion on this(fila in summer, keens in winter), just want to get an idea about which one is more popular here. if you don't like either of these, why and what do you like instead?

I've seen one person hiking in Skeletoes and he said he liked them a lot. I'd love to try them myself.

I've done some hiking in huaraches and still use them occasionally. I hardly get blisters, and I thought the risk of blisters would be much lower in huaraches because they should have superior ventilation, but I was wrong. I also had issues with Waldies sandals. So even though I haven't tried either of the footwear you're asking about, I bet my feet would be happier in the Skeletoes.
