USAGE
Loosen the laces properly when taking the shoes off and putting them on. This reduces wear and helps extend the lifespan of your shoes.
Let the shoes air out well after use. Fully loosen the laces, remove the insole, open the shoe wide, and allow the shoes to dry naturally before the next use.
It’s also good to give your shoes “rest days” so they can dry and ventilate properly.
CLEANING AND STORAGE
It’s best to clean off loose dirt right after use with a damp cloth or sponge.
We do not recommend washing barefoot shoes in a washing machine. The membranes of waterproof models may become clogged, and machine washing can weaken the durability of the shoe’s glued parts.
Store the shoes upright at room temperature and protected from UV light.
Enjoy every step and every trail!

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.

Customer Reviews
Overall rating: 4.5 / 5 from 945 reviews.
Very nice shoes and quick delivery.
First I was a little sceptical about the brand. A lot of “new” brands are dropshippers who are selling cheap fake stuff for to much money.
But with a closer look to their website I was sure it was no scam or dropship.
I ordered the Uoma2 with early access because the design looks comfortable.
Since they’re delivered I’ve worn them for short times (to the grocery store) or
Longer at the zoo and outdoor activity’s.
I ordered my usual size and the fit is good, true to my size.
The top space is nice. I guess it
Is not the biggest too box ever, but they’re perfect for me.
Some barefoot
Shoes (other brands) have a kind of “clown look” due to the toobox but these look just (okay, almost) normal. Yes, it is a barefoot shoe, so it looks al little different but not extreme.
Vaistoa is on my list of favorite brands now 😊
Mina nya favoriter som är med på allt. Kört släde på vårvintern, kicbike och cart, cyklat och sprungit. Haft dem på stan. Genom lera och vatten och fötterna är torra och glada.
Storlek 38 och gott om plats så jag kan ha en tjockare socka när det är kallare.
Finally lightweight shoes that keep your feet dry and don't sweat, and they breathe really well! Excellent ankle support. Incredible grip on wet stones and other slippery surfaces. 6/5 buy more pairs after testing!
87km hike in the Paistunturi wilderness with unbroken-in shoes - as a wearer of similar winter shoes, I dared to set off with new shoes. Everything went very well and there were no abrasions or blisters. At first I was worried about sharp rocks coming through the bottom, but as the trip progressed I was no longer worried. Of course, to save my feet, I made sure I didn't step on the rocks next to the scales.
After a week of use, I can say that the best shoes ever. A wonderful feeling of freedom in the toes and so light that it's like not wearing shoes at all.
Excellent hiking boots. Comfortable and the size is just right. I wore them at home for a few days, then took them on a two-day hike at Skierfe through mud, rain, and rocky terrain. Covered about 50km in total, and the boots didn’t rub or cause any issues. They also kept the water out really well. Highly recommend!
I wore these to cross the Sarek National Park (100 kms of hiking), the wildest place in the EU. In my eyes this is the ultimate test. They worked beautifully walking through countless bogs, marshes and small streams (for deeper ones I switched to wet shoes of course), as well as for hopping across kilometers-long rock fields. They kept my feet dry and comfortable through it all and survived all this stress testing very well - hardly any wear on soles, shoes still watertight.
The only downside I can think of is that once you do flood them (as I stupidly did on the last day, my mistake) it takes a long time to dry them.
I tested these boots for one month hiking in Scotland in often boggy and wet conditions. They were perfect: no blisters, no wet feet and decent ankle support.
However, as others have pointed out they do get hot and sweaty (I wear them with merino hiking socks) and it takes a long time to air the shoes out and get them dry again. So if you plan a hiking tour it is best to have a second pair to alternate as just drying them out overnight is not going to be enough (I always have a pair of tracking shoes with me as well and was glad I did).
I followed the instructions for measuring my feet, 3 times, and they're a size too big. I'll just use them anyway, slightly annoying though. I think that's how you guys expect them to sit, but definitely too much room in the front for me.
Otherwise they're beautiful and I love the feel.
Hey there!
Thank you for your shoes and want to say that I love the idea of barefoot shoes and really like your brand and your designs. Sadly I did not have the best experience with this shoes.
I did only wear them once for some hours but the seam in the heel made me get blisters and was very uncomfortable. I really want to start wearing barefoot shoes and I trust your brand, so was wondering if this is a normal issue or if it's my foot/shape or size that is the problem.
I would like to see if there is any other model that would work for me if this one does not. I am happy to send them back if you want to have a look at them.
Best wishes from Norway!

Have used them for 7-8 months, but now for a little tougher task: A fishing tour in Swedish low alpine terrain.
Very good function. I used them with a pair of low gaiters to prevent debris entering the shoes, which otherwise often occur due to the low cut in the back of the boot.
A little muscle soreness in the low legs that I didn´t expect as quite used to barefoot shoes, but maybe natural due to quite a lot steep slopes.
Top marks excellent shoes i will be back i have tried several barefoot shoes and these are by far the best ! i had faith in the Finnishto come up with something special ! Outstanding i will be buying more !
I got them in good order. Took them out of the box ,put them on and felt released from pain feet. Now I wear them every minute. But sadly not at work ... safety boots..
I recommended them to my wife and she will get a pair as well
Thanks guys
Looks super nice! Beautiful colour. The toe box is a good size, feels great to wear these. The thicker material of these shoes also feels good, it would in theory make these better for hiking and colder weather. However! When walking in them... the material of the shoe bends and folds in such a way where it digs in to my toes very painfully! It made my first outing with them in the marsh UNBEARABLE and made my toes very sore. For some reason this is only a problem on the right shoe. What's up with this? Seeing as some reviews mention having the same problem but others don't, I wouldn't recommend these shoes unless you want to gamble.
I love them!

The right shoe had a crease wich was uncomfortable/slightly painful at first, but I massaged it out and now they are a breeze to wear.
They’re grate! I was afraid that they would be to narrow sine the measurements said 9,9cm wide and I measured my feet to be almost exactly that. But when I tried it on I discovered there’s a lot of room. It doesn’t feel tight at all! And I can adjust it how I want with the laces. I like that they’re waterproof and that they look like leather boots. I would always get blisters and pain from my old pair, so I never used them, but I actually want to use these. The sole is a tiny bit ticker than my other barefoot shoes and I don’t feel as much of the texture, but I don’t mind, can still feel what I’m walking on. These have been come a staple for me in the daily, especially when living in the countryside. Very versatile. I’m satisfied with this purchase!
These shoes were walking in Ny-Ålesund on Spitsbergen this morning. I loved walking with them, waterproof and lightweight. Because of permafrost I would recommend adding insulatesoles if your out some time.
Snabb och trevlig kundservice då jag behövde återlämna för att byta storlek.
Haft dem på under promenaden och till vardags i några dagar nu och är nöjd med dem. Snygga o sköna.
Dock är jag nog ovan vid så mycket "luft" ovanför foten, osäker på om jag har rätt storlek, längden passar de bra men känns lite stor ovanför foten så att säga när tåna böjs vid gång trycker det ett litet veck av skon på ovansidan av foten vid tå böjet. Svårt att förklara. Kan vara min ovana med den modellen också. Men annars väldigt nöjd med skona.
I love using them. 😁 I feel grounded and love the feeling of the earth beneath my feet. I have better balance and my back pain is almost gone. I plan to by a pair that is breathing better. This pair is waterproof and therefore they don’t let the moisture out when you use them. Love the color, and feeling I get when I use them.
Good quality and fit, happy with them but 4 starts instead of 5 because i wished the sole was thinner and more flexible for a better barefoot feeling. I am hypermobile and need the extra ground feel from small twigs and stones in order to activate my muscles more and walk correctly.
Very pleased with these thankyou. I have ordered a number of Vaistoa shoes and trekking boots, and I am very pleased with mine. These were actually ordered for my wife who was reluctant at first to try them but loves the colour and fit of these - a real hit! I recommend Vaistoa products and they work for wifes and partners too.!!Great fit ,and well made ,and whilst the zero drop can take some getting used too for some, its worth the journey a real difference!
Out training my feet after hallux valgus operation, short, slow walks with my dog to strenghten my feet and allowing them to feel the ground we are walking on. I can feel that the barefoot movement really engage my whole body, just short walk's makes me a little tired in my feet, knees and hips, but not in a bad way.
Håller fötterna torra i våt terreng. Stor plass så fötterna kan sprida ut sig naturligt.
Bra grepp på sulan, inga problem å gå på glatta stenar eller grenar i skogen eller på fjället.

Even though the sole is thin, its material offers a good grip on slippery surfaces. The thin sole lets you feel the terrain beneath your feet, enhancing grip, balance, and safety.
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:
