Barefoot boots designed for Nordic winter

Crafted for the season’s changing conditions – quite possibly the world’s most comfortable and lightweight winter boots!

The soft and refined faux fur lining provides gentle warmth and comfort for your feet, while the water-resistant surface protects against moisture on both city streets and outdoor trails.

The flexible, thin, and flat sole supports natural movement and gives your feet the freedom to move, strengthening balance and activating foot muscles. The wide toe box allows your toes to spread naturally – no pressure, no friction, just freedom and ease with every step.

“When the foot is allowed to function naturally, metabolism increases and the feet warm themselves through movement.” –Physiotherapist Matti Melanen

The new Vaistoa Pitoa™ Winter Sole enhances grip and stability even on icy surfaces, while preserving the lightweight feel and ground connection of a true barefoot shoe.

Hurmos 2 Winter is the perfect companion for everyday winter life – equally comfortable on your commute, in the city's bustle, or during relaxed weekend walks outdoors.

Created for Nordic Winter!

The Vaistoa Pitoa™ Winter Sole is designed to enable free and natural movement throughout the northern winter.

It provides exceptional stability and ground feel even on icy surfaces. The all-new design combines the natural sensitivity of a thin and flexible sole with improved traction thanks to integrated grip zones.

All adult winter models now feature the new Vaistoa Pitoa™ Winter Sole, where high-friction grip zones are molded into Vaistoa’s thin and flexible base to enhance traction. These zones are made from a softer, high-friction rubber compound to ensure optimal grip. Strategically placed under the forefoot and heel, they allow for a natural stride in all winter conditions.

The high-friction grip zones are seamlessly molded into the sole, making the structure durable and long-lasting. The soft traction material provides better grip on ice and snow but wears slightly faster on dry, rough surfaces. In winter conditions, snow and ice naturally slow down abrasion, helping the traction remain consistent for longer.

Vaistoa Pitoa™ combines the natural barefoot feel with reliable grip that supports confident movement even in winter.

You can maintain the shoe’s water-resistant treatment by using a protective spray.

Clean off any loose dirt after use with a damp cloth or sponge.

If your feet sweat inside the shoes, it’s important to let them air out properly after wearing. Remove the insole if it’s detachable, open the shoe fully, and let it dry naturally before the next use.

If the shoes get wet on the inside, remove the insole and open the shoe wide to allow maximum air circulation.

It’s also a good idea to give your shoes “rest days,” allowing them to dry and air out completely.

Store your shoes upright, at room temperature, and away from direct UV light.

The soft, high-friction rubber material provides excellent grip on ice and snow but wears slightly faster on dry, rough surfaces. In winter conditions, snow and ice naturally reduce wear, helping maintain consistent traction over time.

The Design from Finland mark indicates the origin of unique Finnish design.

Products and services bearing the Design from Finland mark are designed in Finland professionally, responsibly, and with a user-centered approach.

There are very few barriers to using barefoot shoes.

However, such barriers include functional or structural disorders of the feet or lower limbs. For example, hallux rigidus, or stiff big toe, where the big toe joint does not bend easily or at all upwards during the push-off phase of the step – which is a requirement for the natural roll of the step.

Similarly, any surgical operations where joints are fused – that is, their movement is restricted or completely prevented – pose challenges for the smooth use of barefoot shoes and the benefits they provide.

Loss of sensation in the soles of the feet (neuropathy) due to diabetes or nerve damage can also be considered a contraindication for using barefoot shoes, as you may injure your feet without noticing through the thin sole of the shoe.

If you have painful osteoarthritis or an active inflammatory phase of rheumatoid arthritis, it is advisable to reconsider using barefoot shoes until the condition improves.

If necessary, consult a physiotherapist or podiatrist who is knowledgeable about this matter. Remember to tell them that you want to transition to using barefoot shoes and ask how they can assist you in this project.

Physiotherapist Recommends

Many winter boots make your feet passive – they support and protect, but at the same time prevent the foot from moving naturally. This weakens muscle function, body control, and balance, especially on slippery surfaces.

Vaistoa Hurmos 2 Winter barefoot boots restore this natural function. The zero-drop, flexible sole and wide toe box allow your toes and foot muscles to activate, strengthening your step and improving overall stability.

The water-resistant surface protects against moisture, while the grippy winter sole provides reliable traction in changing winter conditions – without sacrificing ground feel or the natural freedom of movement.

Frequently Asked Questions

Although the sole is thin, its material provides good traction on slippery surfaces.

The Vaistoa Pitoa™ Winter Sole features grip zones that improve traction even on icy terrain.

The thin sole also allows you to feel the ground beneath your feet, enhancing grip, balance, and overall stability.

No. Barefoot shoes combine several features that keep your feet warm, such as a cozy faux fur lining that provides insulation. In addition, the natural activity of your feet increases the body’s own heat production.

Vaistoa thermal insoles further enhance this natural warmth: their foil layer reflects body heat back to the foot, reducing cold transfer from the ground and helping to keep your feet comfortably warm even in cold conditions.

You can test the shoes indoors for 90 days. Returns are free, so you can order risk-free and with peace of mind. If you're not completely satisfied, simply return them within 90 days for a full refund. No questions asked.

Barefoot shoes have been around for years and are based on principles of natural movement and foot health. They are not just a trend; they are a step towards healthier footwear choices.

Our barefoot shoes are made from high-quality materials and designed for use in various environments. They are durable, but it’s important to remember that all shoes are consumable items. Barefoot shoes naturally have thinner soles compared to traditional thick-soled shoes. The durability of the soles can vary depending on the level of activity, the environment, and your walking style.

While athletes and outdoor enthusiasts use barefoot shoes for their features, they are suitable for anyone looking for comfort and the benefits of natural movement.

Many people with foot problems have found relief with barefoot shoes because they improve foot functionality. However, it’s wise to consult a healthcare professional before making a change if you are unsure.

Barefoot shoes do not provide any support because their purpose is to allow the foot muscles to work while moving. Supported shoes weaken the foot muscles because they don’t get to do their job.

Our customers have reported numerous benefits from using our barefoot shoes, such as:

Transformations Vaistoa Barefoot Shoe Fans Rave About:
