Shoes should be cleaned of loose dirt immediately after use with a damp cloth or sponge.
If your feet sweat inside the shoes, it is important to let the shoes air out well after use. Fully loosen the laces, remove any removable insoles, open the shoe's mouth wide, and let the shoes dry thoroughly before the next use.
If the shoes get wet on the inside as well, remove the removable insoles and open the shoe's mouth wide to allow air to circulate inside the shoes as much as possible.
It is also beneficial to give the shoes "rest days" to allow them to dry and air out properly.
Store the shoes upright, at room temperature, and protected from UV light.

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: 4.6 / 5 from 1118 reviews.
They are like the best pair of socks you ever had, but with a rubber sole. Lightweight, flexible and a real eyecatcher. My feet and calves feel great!
These shoes are amazing! It feels a little strange to walk in them at the beginning when you are used to classic shoes with a lot of support and thick soles but I love feeling the ground under my feet with these! After walking around in them for a few days it felt like I did a strength training session with my feet (A little soreness). But now I have gotten used to them and it feels strange and unnatural to put on any other shoes. 🥰
Ik heb de Iloa voor de eerste maal gedragen tijdens een stadsbezoek. Het was een zeer warme dag. Tot mijn verbazing had ik niet de drang om bij thuiskomst onmiddellijk mijn schoenen uit te doen. Mijn voeten zaten heel comfortabel, geen gezwollen voeten, geen overmatige zweetvoeten. Dit was een groot wow-moment. Het stappen zelf vergt een lichte aanpassing. Ik moet vooral actiever de tenen oprichten. Daarvoor dient de schoen natuurlijk ook; actiever de spieren in de voet gebruiken. Top product. Ik kijk nu al uit naar een herfst/winter exemplaar.
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
I love the feel of my shoes. It's my first ever pair of barefoot shoes, and I'm super happy that I dared to try, because it is true what I read - my feet don't feel tired at the end of the day, even if I don't take them off while at work. I also don't feel too warm, which usually is the case, and with the heatwave I'm so very thankful for that!
I've had my pair for about two weeks and my only complaint is that the white shoe is already rather gray looking. I didn't buy any extra protection products, so I was expecting it, but they do look a bit sad.
Anyways, I will most likely buy shoes for both fall and winter, but I will go up one size (I'm in-between a 39 and a 40 and bought a 39 which works for summer shoes).
The brown brand label on your sneakers bleeds dye. I rinsed the sneakers with water, and the white shoelaces turned reddish-brown. Materials that bleed color should not be used in contact with white textiles.
I have always had trouble with blisters when buying new shoes and trouble finding shoes which are wide enough, still not too long and not loose at the heel. No problem with these! They feel like I'm wearing socks only. I am still not really used to the barefoot feeling during long asphalt walks, but I use them whenever the weather is good enough (not all the time in Sweden).
Very happy with my Vaistoa Iloa, i barely had to break them in because ther're so easy to walk in. I've probably had them too briefly to notice any healthbenefits yet, but i'm already looking forward to the winter collection.
I'm convinced
Heerlijke schoenen! Maat is goed, zitten erg lekker en wegen helemaal niks. Wees wel gewaarschuwd: als je deze ( of dit soort) schoenen gewend bent zitten andere schoenen nooit meer lekker 😉
I was led to belive, that this is made in Finland but instead, it's made in China and also feels and looks like it (cheap). This in turn confirms my belief, that products advertised in social media are immensely overpriced with huge marketing budgets but with little actual substance.
I love these shoes. I’ve struggled to find shoes that actually fit my feet. Even other barefootshoes were too narrow for my toes. These are an amazing fit and I’ve order a few more pairs in other colours.
Greetings from Estonia!
Usually I wear shoes/boots size 44. At very first time I bought Riemu size 44. They were fine, but now tried Iloa 43. Completely different story. Feels much comfortable. My advice is - If you have wide feet (you dont even fit in 2E wide Hoka shoes or NB 2002R) then choose 1 size smaller shoes than usual. Also take A4 list, circle around the feet. Measure widest point, then check the size in "Size chart". Of course you might need time to get use to real foot shape / barefoot shoes, but it is worth it. Using Iloa for walking in city and parks. Reimu for working at hospital. Highly recommend Iloa and Riemu shoes!!!
Sorry, allready covered in dirt because of a hike through the fieldwith the dogs. They're the only shoes I can hike with, without any sore feet. Love them. They are my fourth pair, two for summer, two for winter.. just love them!
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.

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:
