Warmth for little feet, freedom for little toes!
Kids' winter boots with room for toes to move
Heavy, stiff winter boots aren't the only option. In Vaistoa Kinos 2 Kids barefoot winter boots, your child can enjoy a light, natural step in winter too: in the daycare yard, on the way to school and in snowy play.
The updated warm faux fur lining and the insulating thermal insole keep the warmth in on freezing days. The Winter Layer+ midsole comes already fitted inside the kids’ shoes and adds extra insulation in cold conditions. A high, water-resistant splash guard and a water-repellent upper protect against snow and slush. The foot-shaped toe box lets toes spread out, and the flexible sole moves with the foot. A winter sole made from a soft rubber compound brings grip to winter steps.
Easy to put on. Kinos 2 pulls on without laces or straps, so it's easy for kids to put the boots on and take them off themselves.

Each Step in Barefoot Shoes Improves Your Child's Natural Foot Development
The 4 Key Features: How Shoe Design Impacts Your Child's Health
Built to Withstand Slush and Snow
Kinos features a high shaft made from water-repellent material and a tall splash guard that protect feet from moisture and splashes in slush and snow. Perfect for changing winter conditions—from wet yards to frosty days of play.
Warm Lining and Insulating Sole Structure
The soft faux-fur lining and insulating thermal insole keep little feet warm and protected from the cold. The Winter Layer+ midsole comes already fitted inside the kids’ shoes and adds extra insulation in cold conditions. The barefoot shoe’s wide fit leaves plenty of room for cozy wool socks.
Kids' Winter Sole
A winter sole made from a soft rubber compound brings grip to winter steps. The thin, flexible, low-profile sole moves with every step of play.
Matti Melanen
Physiotherapist Recommends
Most kids’ winter boots keep feet warm but restrict natural movement.
Vaistoa Kinos lets children’s feet move as nature intended: toes spread, muscles activate, and sensory feedback stays alive with every step.
The result: strong, warm, and naturally developing feet, season after season.

Otherwise a good shoe, but it was too tight for our son’s very wide foot when worn with woollen socks, so he could only wear them when it was slightly below freezing; otherwise, his cold feet would get chilled. When the shoe got wet and then dried out, it became crunchy.
We’ve now been testing these shoes with our 1.5-year-old toddler. The shoes keep feet warm and are clearly comfortable to wear. The toes have felt warm, and so far these shoes have also kept out the water.A nice touch is the reflectors on the back. However, a major drawback is how difficult they are to put on, even though the upper and the sole are really wide;the seam at the ankle is so tight that it’s really difficult to get your foot into the shoe with a woolly sock on. The woolly sock does fit fine once you’ve managed to squeeze it in, but that takes a real struggle. Without woollen socks, the shoes are considerably easier to put on, but in severe frosts, woollen socks are a must. You can’t put the shoes on easily whilst sitting down; the child always has to be standing up (which is a bit tricky for younger children). Because of how difficult they are to put on, we’ve had to buy our child a second pair of winter shoes that are quicker to slip on at nursery when worn with woollen socks. Ours are size 25 and black.
My child can run in these shoes, but I’m not happy with their grip on slippery surfaces. They’ve only been worn outside twice so far, and there’s very little snow, but even a small amount of compacted snow that had frozen overnight was enough to make them slip.
My kid usually wears another finnish brand with a similar look to the boots (not barefoot) in winter. But the Vaistoa boots became an instant hit - and are now her new favorite pair!
They keep your feet warm and look great. The only downside is that the sole is really slippery and offers no grip at all in slippery or icy conditions.
My child thinks they’re comfortable to wear, easy to put on, and there’s still plenty of room even with woolly socks on. The only downside is the slippery sole; otherwise, they’re really good shoes 😊
The leg is quite wide and also rather flat. It’s a bit tricky to put on, especially if the overalls are already attached to the trousers, as is customary in childcare. There was also a little accident involving a wee, and even when washed gently, something happened to the shoe’s upper, so the surface is now rough and creased. The sole is good and my child likes barefoot shoes, but these won’t become a favourite.
My 8-year-old daughter loves these! They kept her feet warm even in temperatures of -20, when worn with woollen socks. Apparently, they feel lovely after wearing normal shoes – a bit like the shoes are massaging the soles of her feet.
The upper of the boot is thin and stiff, and the seam at the heel is quite noticeable on the inside. They’re uncomfortable compared to previous winter boots. My child refuses to wear them.
Our toddler played outside in these for about an hour, and it was -8. He was wearing merino wool socks underneath, but he started crying in the middle of playing and pointed to his toes. We went straight home and sure enough, his toes were absolutely ice-cold and red. So these shoes only got a couple of wears, as they can’t be worn in freezing weather, and when it’s above zero we prefer to use lighter autumn shoes. It’s a real shame, as they were quite an expensive investment after all.
After a few weeks’ use, the upper material of the shoes has started to peel away from the rest of the shoe. This is apparently due to getting wet, even though they’ve never been completely soaked through. So they’re definitely not suitable for slushy weather, despite what’s promised. The child still likes wearing them, though.
Our 10-year-old has really liked these shoes and has enjoyed wearing them. The downside is that they don’t cope well with damp conditions. In slushy weather, water seeps through at the toes very quickly.
I haven’t tested the product yet, but the delivery was incredibly fast. Even during the Christmas rush, the shoes were ready for collection the very next day!
I’m really disappointed with these shoes. After a week’s use, the lining bunches up around the upper – particularly at the back – and they don’t keep my feet or socks dry; they’re always wet inside.
The shoes are good quality and feel warm; they’re nimble to wear, and my child dashes off running as soon as they’ve put them on! In future, I’ll probably mainly be buying shoes for the children from Vaistoa.
The shoes have been comfortable and practical. /Mum
They’re definitely warm enough for walking – 100 per cent – and you can ride a pedal car in them💂🏻♂️/ Child, aged 8

Kinos 2 has a warm faux fur lining and a cold-insulating thermal insole, and the high shaft and splash guard protect against snow and slush. The wide fit leaves room for wool socks.
According to physiotherapist Matti Melanen, when the foot is allowed to function naturally, metabolism increases and the feet warm themselves through movement.
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 child's walking style.
If your child can walk barefoot or in socks, they can also wear barefoot shoes. Let them start gradually and get used to them at their own pace.
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.
Barefoot shoes allow a child's feet to grow and develop naturally, which is crucial for their overall foot health. Traditional shoes often restrict the natural movement and growth of a child's feet, potentially leading to various foot problems. Barefoot shoes promote natural foot function by providing a wide toe box and a thin, flexible sole that mimics the feeling of being barefoot. This encourages the development of strong, healthy foot muscles and improves balance and coordination.
