My daughter loves them. She put them on right after we got them and she’s wearing them all the time we go out now. To school, to camp, when she plays outside! We love the color as well and they look great!
Kjempegode sko. Dette blir min favoritt.
Olen todella tyytyväinen niihin. Käyn usein ulkoilemassa kolmen koirani kanssa, ja paljasjalkalenkkarit sopivat yhtä hyvin pitkille kävelyille asfaltilla kuin metsäpoluillekin. Rakastan niitä! 🚶♀️🐾
I am73 years and love to be out in the nature. I have problems with my Hallus valgus. Tryed this barefoot shoes first time this sommer and now i just love it.
In order of appearence, Vaistoa Uoma 2, Soft to the touch, always in style! Minimum 20-25k steps a day, trail, asphalt, forrest, always dry always comfortable. Used to barefoot shoes since ten years, I found Vaistoa this spring, now it's my #1 choice. Would recommend for anyone!
Very fast return- change!
Zeer mooie, confortabele en toch stevige wandelschoenen zonder in te boeten op bewegingsvrijheid. Aangenaam om te dragen en supermooie kleur.
Excellent hiking boots. Got them at the last minute before a bikepacking trip, which included some hiking on foot. They are light and packable enough to carry in bikepacking luggage, and also worked really well on the rugged terrain of Lapland fells as promised, all that pretty much right out of the box.
A wet experience
Love them :) Have ordered accordingly to the size chart (40), but should have ordered my normal shoes size actually (38). It’s not a problem though, inserted en extra insole and it’s just right now.
Because of my MS, feets and calves have been somewhat affected. So although I used to walk often (14'000 most days), I didn't especially like it. But with this shoes that's a completely different story ! It's waaaay more comfortable. I had no idea wearing shoes could be this pleasant ! I think it even helped with my balance. I was anxious to order them initially, but i still did despite people advising me not to. I'm happy I didn't listen to them 😅
I got these for my son who recently turned two years old, is tall for his age and has a toddler's broad feet. He fired off a delighted smile the moment he put them on - probably because they were soft and comfortable, which most brands are not when it comes to waterproof autumn shoes. Size chart is accurate! The quality seems good and he can wear them on warmer autumn days as well. Maybe I'm a tiny bit worried about how the front of the shoes will stand the test of belonging to a small child. My son spends most of his time running, climbing and jumping, but so far so good.
First time I tried the shoes, I walked about 4 km in the forest close to my home with no pain in my feet. Next day I walked into a small canyon, Asdøljuvet, this day I walked about 7 km, still without pain. I have walked a lot but always with burning/painful feet. It was amazing to really enjoy my walk without pain. It feels like I’ve got new feet’s.. Amazing! Only a little sore legs after the walk but it was worth it.
Lovely comfortable boots, look really smart, the colour is lovely and they are 100% waterproof (tested in very wet conditions on several occasions in Cumbria)
Like flying.. great footwear 💚
Så himla sköna, höften rätar till sig, smärtan i fötterna efter en hel dag i stålhätta försvinner. Som att dra på sig en skön kram efter jobbet, de ser bättre ut på foten än vad jag trpdee . Nu börjar det bli kyligare och jag önskar att jag hade valt att lägga begravningar hundringar till på ett par kängor för säsongen. Men det blir att lägga undan och köpa till nästa säsong, jag är ju varm av mig så kanske bara köpa vintersulor till dem så har jag hela hösten.
So far, so good!
De är sköna!
I used the Vaistoa Uoma 2 Barefoot Trekking Boots for the first time today while hunting for black grouse and capercaillie. I was mighty impressed by how quiet I was able to walk, not only inside the forest but also on gravel roads. It felt almost like walking barefoot! I was hunting for six hours mostly walking in moss and morass and the feet didn't feel heavy at all, as they do when wearing regular hunting boots. and I can assure you that they are truly waterproof!
Confortables mais attention si vous avez le pied large! La forme ergonomique ne garantit pas que vous ne vous sentirez pas un peu à l'étroit dedans. Ceci dit, la matière est souple et se donne rapidement, ce qui en fait vite des pantoufles de marche ...
They are comfortable but the top of my feet are quite thin so I had to sew the shoes a little on the top as they were way too big. I wonder if the wool fabric will get bigger later on. I hope not!
Amazing and really comfortable! My feet love Vaistoa and I'm probably going to shop with you as long as you are around!
Skona jag bara använder! Älskar dom! Har alltid tyckt om att gå barfota men de är inte alltid de passar men med dessa skor får man både de skyddande runt foten och så mycket barfota känsla som de går
The insoles have only been used a little so far. Of course, the feel of the ground underfoot does diminish as the insole gets thicker. Personally, I like the fact that the sole of the foot gets the best possible feel for the ground.
Good waterproof hiking boot, i hope it will last
Great shoes for forest walk!
I genuinely love those hiking boots! I have spent years trying to find a good WATERPROOF boots for autumn. It is rare, it seems like barefoot shoe producers all live in a wonderful weather, and don't seem to understand what is going on in Estonia during autumn :))) it's muddy and wet! Anyway, Vaistoa from Finland knows how it is and they have made PERFECT hiking boots. not only because they are truly waterproof, but they sit very well, they are lightweight and look good! Finally I have what I needed!
Love them, so comportable!
I’ve worn these shoes a great deal during the two months I’ve had them. They’re good for foot function, which was to be expected based on my previous experiences. However, their durability under heavy use is poor. The plastic/rubber layer over the toe area has completely torn, and now the outsole is also starting to show signs of wear. The insoles in both shoes are already worn through. Of course, the shoes have been used a lot, but they should still last longer.
Brilliant wellies. They were put to the test straight away in the garden. They seem to be made of higher-quality rubber than their predecessors, which didn’t even last a year. My feet don’t get tired or sore when I’m walking about in these.
They’re comfortable on my feet; I’ve already gone on a 15 km hike in Repovesi National Park wearing them.
Hi, I rarely give feedback on products, but I’m going to do so now. These trainers are nice to wear… Except: the tread pattern on the sole is a complete failure. Sand and small stones get stuck in the gaps between the treads during everyday use. When wearing these trainers both outdoors and indoors, it feels a bit dodgy walking on different floor surfaces. I’m worried that the small stones will scratch the floors to bits, as you can often hear that ‘scratching sound’. It’s also a faff to remove the stones from the grooves, and you’d have to be doing it all the time. Yours, Tiina Määttänen
Lightweight, comfortable material. Stylish. I’ve been wearing only barefoot shoes for four years now.
These shoes didn’t make my feet or back ache. The feel of the ground underfoot helped me walk without tensing up, and the shoes provided good grip on the rocks. A great purchase and a worthwhile investment in my wellbeing.
The Tuohi 2 boots are good. The only downside is that the shafts are a bit too high for me. The shafts on the previous brown Vaistoa Uoma 2 boots I bought are a better fit. I’ll be using both pairs of boots on autumn hikes in Lapland. I also wore the Uoma 2 boots on my runs last winter. They didn’t make me slip and were surprisingly warm, even in temperatures as low as 10 degrees below zero. So, I’m a satisfied customer 😀
They’re lovely, nice and light shoes, and I like the colour of them.
Lightweight, comfortable and flexible shoes. Although you can feel the sole against the sole of your foot, I haven’t yet come across a stone that’s felt uncomfortably through the sole. Your toes can spread out whilst walking, and the short upper supports the ankle. I haven’t had a chance to test the water-repellent surface yet. I’d recommend them!
I only managed to wear my new hiking boots once, because when I told my daughter about them, she immediately took them off with her to the Alps. We’ll have to see whether I get them back or if I’ll have to buy a new pair.
These wellies are easy to put on, stay up well and are completely waterproof. Like other shoes from Vaistoa, they have a flexible sole and a suitably wide fit. So far, their waterproofing and durability have been faultless, and the yellow colour is lovely. I was right on the cusp between two sizes, and going for the larger size was definitely the right choice.
Best boots I’ve ever had!! I walk with my horses for hours every day, and my feet have been hurting more and more for years! At last I thought there was a risk I would have to stop walking, until I found Vaistoa!! Tried them yesterday and they didn’t hurt anywhere at all on my sore feet! Hardly noticed I had shoes on! So grateful, now I can continue my wonderful life with my horses! About to order one more pair!
