They are just lovely!
I have lots of Vaistoa shoes and boots. The size chart is easy to use. I use sneakers in size 39, they are perfect for bare feet. All boots are size 40, because I want to have some extra space for socks. I ordered these Chelsea boots in 40. I LOVE the zippers! The length and toe width is perfect, but I find them a little bit narrow at the top. Luckily they have the elastic part on the side. They are suprisingly warm, but not too warm.
I love these boots as they've kept me warm and comfy through winter and the off white colour goes well with everything. I can easily wipe them clean. The only downside is the cottonlike material on the side of the boot as it's not as easy to keep clean and it's a light colour
My favourite Vaistoa shoe!!! The best fit and I love the material. The felt is very soft and the insoles are so warm and cosy!
Love my Vaistoa collection! There's no way back after wearing Vaistoa's comfy shoes and there are so many styles to choose from!
My boy loves them.
Happy hiking!😃🦶🏼👣
I absolutely love these shoes. They are super comfortable and look good too. I wear them without socks since it’s summer and they feel just great. I wore them to work then one of my work colleagues saw them and bought the exact same pair.
I've bought the Vaistoa hennep sneakers for the first time and when I started walking, I didn't want to stop. You can feel the earth beneath your feet and naturally you will start mindfulness walking. Really nice. Now I have to buy the waterproof hiking shoes as the fall is coming with lots of rain, I guess. Thank you for these lovely shoes, Vaistoa!
Vandring i Tiveden. Smidiga skor som fungerade toppen att ta sig fram i.
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.
Very comfortable.
The rainsboots are good, and i really like them when I'm out and about in the rain. But for my foot the front of the boot is too flat and I can feel them against the top of my toas and the ridge. For some reason i also felt that my socks became damp, not wet but damp, and I think that is because they touch the inner lining if the boot. Still like them and will probably buy another pair when these are done (but maybe in a larger size)
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).
Kommer att bli skorna som man aldrig vill ska ta slut
They fits really nice and are really comfortable to walk in and wear in general!
I was looking for a pair of autumn boots, and to be honest, these weren't my first choice. Visually, I preferred other models, but since these were the only ones available in size 45, I decided to give them a try. I was pleasantly surprised by how comfortable they are. This is my second pair of Vaistoa shoes, but my first time trying boots from this brand. My previous winter boots fell apart because I pronate outward on one foot, which used to make me lose my balance. I've been wearing these for almost two weeks now without any issues. Having used Vaistoa footwear for several months, I haven't had any problems with balance or foot sole pain. Really satisfied with them!
The boots are great - I chose a slightly larger size to allow for thicker socks in cooler weather and just a bit more space in the heatwave! They are comfortable and so easy to get on and off. I love the colour too. Currently they are on my feet every day as I go about my business on our farm.
Whent for a walk in the mountains. the only part of me that was dry were my feet.
Love my new rubber- boots! So nice to finaly find rubber-boots in barefoot-style. I am loocking forward to test them at everyday work as a biologist!
Great shoes so far, only call out to help others is that I wear a UK 10.5 in new balance and ordered a 45 based on the recommendation of the system. I would go for a 44 next time.
It's my third set of boots from you and I love them. I have tried Vivo, Hobie Bear, XZero, and many others and these are by far the most comfortable, best fit, and long-lasting. These ones are my favourites. My feet do not sweat as they are fully breathable but still when I'm standing in a boat that has water in, my feet stay dry as long as i'm not standing in it for too long.
Älskar dem! SÅ sköna! Vet inte hur jag tänkte när jag valde vita inför semester i torra Grekland 😂 men de har varit lätta att tvätta av och känns som nya igen efter tvätt. Provat massor av olika underlag och det är underbart att känna vad jag går på.
Being my first pair of barefoot shoes, I wasn't sure what to expect. I can say that this experience has totally changed my perspective of my whole wardrobe of footwear. During the first few days I could feel some soreness and aches in my inner thighs and calves after using the shoes. But from there on, I don't want to wear anything else. My feet just feel wider, more relaxed and I have a better and more steady contact surface while standing or walking as a result of wearing them. This feeling of freedom is addicting and I now realize how constricted my feet have been all my life from wearing conventional footwear. The quality of the shoes seems top notch. They didn't need to be worn in to be comfortable, they look good, they feel anatomically correct, and I'm probably gonna change my whole shoe collection to barefoots. Highly recommended!
I love these shoes. I was looking for something wide enough for my pinky toe, and these have a really good fit and are very comfortable. I was just in-between a size 38 (which is normally my size) and a size 39. I went with the 39, which I am glad I did since I use them for running, and I think a 38 was going to be a little too tight. Now I am just waiting for Vaistoa to make a pair of biodegradable trail running shoes with more grip.
I bought my first pair of Vaistoa barefoot shoes a few months ago. I soon discovered that it is better to wear them with thin cotton socks to avoid my feet getting too hot. However, I was able to walk in them for quite a long time right from the start. So, I’ve now bought a second pair—a slightly higher model this time. These ones are great to walk in, too. I wear them at work all day long and cycle in them. Everything is perfect. These shoes are truly a surprising discovery!
Perfect shoes for a mountain walk! I love them!
These shoes are lovely! Like a maxidress for your feet! I took the shoes right out of the box and wore them an entire day at a music festival. No bruises or blisters afterwards and my feet felt less tired than usual after a full day of walking, dancing and standing.
Väga mugavad jalas ja hea pehme liikuda
Skönt med skor där tårna får plats både på bredden och längden. Mina nya favoriter!
The slippers are great very comfortable. The felt doesn’t seem very durable as on one of the slippers there are holes on the side and the heel. Very frustrating as I love this brand and usually great quality however I’ve only had these slippers about 6 months and already falling apart.
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.
Vaistoa conquering Gaustatoppen, Norway. Felt like a mountain goat with these boots!
Älskar dom!! Min Halgus Valgus gör inte ont!
Lovely shoes. Has wear them for hours every day in forest, swamp, pickning cloudberries. They are so comfortable, really like that you can close them around the leg, so that nothing can fall in the boots when you walk in the forest
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! Safira Olsen
Very good and comfortable :)
it was just as expected, great product, delivery was within expected times, i´m in Oslo, I had to return one (wrong size, my fault) and I had to go to the UPS central office near Økern but all in all simple with no issues
For the first time ever, my foot can lie flat and all my toes have room. These fit better than many other barefoot shoes I’ve tried. There’s slight chafing around the heel, but regular cotton socks solve that issue. I’m a bit surprised by the lack of reflective details. Please add reflective elements to all your shoes, not just the kids’ models!
Very comfortable, light-weight. Total recommendation.
