The water-repellent properties of the shoe’s surface can be maintained with a protective spray.
It is recommended to clean off loose dirt immediately after use with a damp cloth or sponge.
If your feet sweat inside the shoes, it is important to let them air out well after use. Remove any removable insole, open the shoe wide, and allow the shoes to dry completely before the next wear.
If the shoes get wet on the inside as well, remove the insole and open the shoe as wide as possible to ensure proper air circulation inside.
It is also beneficial to give your shoes “rest days,” allowing them to dry and air out properly.
Store the shoes upright, at room temperature, and protected from UV light.
The Design from Finland mark indicates the origin of unique Finnish design.
Products and services bearing the Design from Finland mark are designed in Finland professionally, responsibly, and with a user-centered approach.
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.

Every Step in Barefoot Shoes Advances Your Well-being
The 4 Key Features: How Shoe Design Influences Your Health
Durable canvas with a denim look
A timeless appearance meets breathability and hard-wearing material – stylish and practical for everyday use.
Zipper and elastic side panel
Easy to put on and take off without adjustments – fits comfortably and makes the shoes effortless to use even on busy days.
Water-resistant surface treatment
Withstands splashes and everyday surprises – helps keep your feet dry and your shoes looking clean for longer.
Matti Melanen
Physiotherapist Recommends
Most shoes provide too much support, making the foot weak. Kajo does the opposite.
It looks clean and stylish for everyday use, yet allows your feet to function naturally as they’re meant to.
This means stronger feet, better balance, and a more relaxed stride – without having to compromise on style.

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.
I’ve been wearing these ankle boots for a few months now. They’re really great for all sorts of occasions! They make you feel smart even when worn with a dress or skirt! Surprisingly, they stayed dry even in light sleet, at least when I sprayed them with waterproofing spray before wearing them. They also work perfectly well with woollen socks in slightly colder weather.
Another brilliant purchase! Lovely breathable fabric, and the zip is a big plus. Even though my feet are quite wide, the ankle boots slipped on easily thanks to the zip. Thank you!
Well, I was so excited to order my first pair of open-toed shoes!
I was surprised, I loved them, and I fell in love with them.
They’re just perfect <3 – a rugged design and lovely to wear. I want more of these;)
I am very satisfied as I no longer have pain in my toes. Although a bit sad about seeing that these shoes that I preferred in the colour black now are back in my size.
When I bought them just a little while ago it was not possible.
These shoes seem to work very well also in wet weather.
Really happy about them.
They’re really good, but the weather hasn’t been kind enough to let me try them out outdoors yet. I chose the size based on the size guide, and they fit perfectly. I had to go 1–2 sizes larger than I usually do with foreign-made barefoot shoes, so it’s worth checking the measurements. They aren’t too wide, even for a narrow foot.
Size 38 was a bit too tight, so size 39 was better for these. They feel comfortable on my feet, with plenty of room for my toes. On the downside, they’re a bit tight around the ankle.
They felt comfortable and familiar on my feet straight away. This is already my ninth pair of Pj shoes, so I’ve really taken to Vaistoa shoes and their various styles.
I bought a pair of Kajo open-toe ankle boots as my go-to shoes. They’re exactly what I expected – smart, stylish and comfortable to wear; I’d happily wear them to parties, the theatre or anywhere really.
Love my boots. My feet love my boots. I'm happier in my boots.
I even have room for my wool sokcs for colder days. Seems it won't be my first and last pair 😉
I love the boots but they are too big if I am going without socks which I tend to do- and the kerfuffle of sending back and getting a smaller size is not my fave thing to do so wearing them with socks will have to do!
Such comfy shoes that I can walk in for hours without a single problem. Looks good with everything and I have plenty of Space in them to wear a wool-sock when it gets colder. The only downside is that the zipper doesn't go all the way down which makes it a little more difficult to get my high volume feet in if I don't have a shoehorn att hand. But that is just a minor thing.
For two years I’ve been walking barefoot. Neither my back nor my feet have been sore since then. It even helps with the nerve pain in my leg; I’m able to go for my daily walks outdoors.
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.

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:
