"Our environment alters how one moves, thinks, and feels. It has a profound influence on both mental and physical health. Regular shoes, as part of this environment, weaken the foundations of your body by weakening your feet."

"I believe...

I believe that a healthy person inspires well-being around them. That’s why we are creating an environment to support everyone in achieving and maintaining a body that is not an obstacle, but a source of strength and vitality. We do this by building a community centered around natural movement and barefoot shoes"

Our Mission

We inspire people to move naturally and help them achieve a body that doesn't hinder them from doing what matters most in life.

The Story Behind Vaistoa

Our story started with my quest to find solutions to the health challenges of the modern world. My journey was colored by various personal battles.

I previously struggled with depression, and despite my professional knowledge in the wellness industry, I felt overwhelmed by the challenge of changing my unhealthy patterns.

I understood that we need to build an environment that fosters the adoption of healthier habits. Everyone deserves an environment that supports their well-being and makes positive life changes easier, not harder.

Based on these thoughts, my friend Miko and I founded a wellness-focused online store in the summer of 2020 with the aim of helping as many people as possible on their journey to a better life and a healthier body. To date, we have helped over 200,000 customers through various tools, tips, and discussions.

It didn't take long for us to realize that many health issues can be traced back to our feet. The realization of the transformative impact of natural movement inspired us on our journey to create the world's best barefoot shoes.

In August 2023, we introduced Vaistoa's first shoes. Ever since, we have been continuously developing our products and paying close attention to our beloved customers feedback to create the best possible barefoot shoes.

At Vaistoa, we work as one team with the goal of creating as much value as possible for our customers. We believe that a healthy person generates well-being around them. We are grateful that you have come to our site, and let's spread the joy of barefooting together.
