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.

Overall rating: 4.4 / 5 from 1333 reviews.
Two full days walking the streets of Barcelona in the most comfortable shoes ever. Didn't even need to bring spare shoes. The next pair of shoes will also be barefoot shoes from Vaistoa.
The pain in the Achilles tendon gradually subsided and finally stopped when I introduced these. They are comfortable on my feet and even after a long day I don't feel the need to take the shoes off. Easy to keep clean and dry really quickly.
My first barefoot shoes, but not my last. Lightweight and discreet, the foot moves as it should. All my toes are "hammer toes" and sometimes very painful. When I walk in triumph my toes have even stretched and there is no pain. The change in walking position is felt in the buttock muscles. Apparently they have got to work too!
I haven't worn any other shoes since I got these! I've always worn the wrong size and style of shoes, but I finally found shoes that are more than good. I highly recommend these shoes to everyone, you won't regret them<3
I’ve been wearing Vaistoa barefoot shoes for 5 years now, in all seasons and in all situations. Now my favourite colours have finally arrived, and for the first time I’ve ordered the updated, improved models, which felt just right from the very first time I tried them on 🥰
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 already bought my third pair of these Vaistoa. They’re great for walking on cobblestones, grass, tarmac and paths with tree roots. People are surprised that you can’t walk in barefoot shoes in those places. ‘Yes, you can,’ I say!
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!
These shoes are wider and seem larger than the two pairs I ordered previously (Vaistoa). I’ve developed a bunion, and these, along with the Vaistoa Vaistoa shoes, have been a lifesaver this summer, as they’ve generally allowed me to walk without limping.
I bought my first pair of barefoot shoes, Vaistoa Riemut, for a trip, and they turned out to be excellent travel shoes. They’re light to carry and you can walk in them for ages, whatever the terrain. They’re also brilliant on long flights, when your feet often swell up – Vaistoa – as the Riemut still don’t feel tight. I highly recommend them!
The shoes are the perfect size, even though there’s a half-size difference between my feet. You wouldn’t notice that with these shoes. They’re easy to slip on and lovely to wear. They don’t feel heavy and don’t rub. And of course, they’re a lovely colour too. I’ll definitely be ordering another pair in the autumn.
They’re absolutely super light on your feet and don’t rub. I’ve now worn them on walks on both tarmac and a gravel path. As well as having a great fit and feeling great on your feet, the colour is lovely 😍
After suffering a stroke seven years ago, I was prescribed shoes with stiff soles; walking was difficult. I’m sure there are reasons for that too. Nowadays, I wear barefoot shoes all year round, and I feel really well – my hips and back are grateful.
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!
I wore vaistoa barefoot shoes to work. I worked on my feet for two evenings, and the severe osteoarthritis in my right knee didn’t cause me any pain at all during my shifts, which surprised me. Nor did I need any painkillers, unlike on previous shifts.
Such lovely, breathable slippers! They felt a bit loose at first, but they work really well. I got the size spot on first time, as I used the measurements from my first pair of shoes as a guide.
I’ve now become a loyal user of barefoot shoes.
Absolutely lovely. Lightweight and a good fit for an ‘old’, slightly wider foot. I’ve never had size 41 shoes before, but I trusted the measurement, and although they felt a bit too big at first, on a hot day when my feet swell a little, the size is just right. 👍
These shoes instantly became my child’s favourite pair! Part of the reason might also be their favourite colour 😅 As a gymnast, you need shoes that are flexible too.
They’re really comfortable to wear. Otherwise they’re OK, but perhaps I should have bought a pair with laces. As one of my feet is smaller, it’s a bit tricky to tighten them to fit the smaller foot.
They’re really comfortable for walking on forest paths and rocky terrain. I’ve also tested them for tree climbing – they’re absolutely the best shoes for it, thanks to their excellent grip.
These days I try to avoid impulse buys until the very last minute, but with these shoes I gave in – and I’m glad I did, because it really was love at first sight. 💕 I’ve been wearing them for a couple of weeks now, and I’ve noticed that I’m deliberately seeking out uneven surfaces so I can feel the stones and such under my feet. That sensation on the soles of your feet can’t be described – you simply have to experience it for yourself. I don’t think this will be the last pair of barefoot shoes I buy.
With my previous Merrell ‘quality shoes’, my feet would get tired and feel heavy by the end of the day. In the evenings, it was nice to use a massage foot roller.
With these shoes, I haven’t needed to use the roller – the uneven ground, stones, tree roots and cones take care of that. My feet also stay fresh even after longer walks.
I’m not sure whether the difference compared to my previous shoes is down to the flat sole or the extra space for the toes. I can’t say for certain, but I’d recommend everyone give barefoot shoes a go. You’ll notice the difference compared to so-called mainstream fashion shoes after just a couple of wears.
For sensitive feet, I’d recommend using the ‘outdoor+’ insoles to start with.
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:
