Renewed winter Chelsea – improved grip pads, a wider elastic panel and a longer zip. Easier to put on than ever.
Wonderfully soft winter Chelsea boots
In Vaistoa Sulo 2, soft felt and a warm faux fur lining meet the lightness of a barefoot shoe. It feels like wearing wool socks, and the foot-shaped toe box gives your toes room to move freely.
Easier to put on. This winter the zip is longer and the elastic side panel wider, so Sulo 2 is easier to put on than before. Just slip into comfort. The felt has a water-repellent surface treatment.
New this winter. The grip pads of the Vaistoa Pitoa™ winter sole have been developed further, with the aim of even better grip, and the sole is still just as thin and flexible. Every pair also comes with an extra mid-insole: place it under the winter insole when you want more warmth, for example when you spend a lot of time standing still outdoors.

Matti Melanen
Physiotherapist Recommends
Most winter boots protect your feet but restrict their natural function. When the foot can’t move freely, its muscles weaken, and both balance and body control decrease.
Sulo 2 does the opposite – it activates your foot’s natural function. Your toes get to work, small stabilizing muscles strengthen, and your nervous system stays connected to the ground. This enhances body control, step stability and how your whole body functions.
In addition, Sulo 2 is a soft and warm winter boot, so you can enjoy the functional benefits of barefoot shoes in winter weather too.

Mjuka sköna och snygga. Tur att jag följde rekomendationen att ta en storlek större, dom passar precis och man märker inte att man har skor på fötterna. Vi har några minusgrader men extra sulorna har jag inte behövt ännu. Har svårt att tänka mig andra skor än Vaistoa.
These are so gorgeous and cosy without being too cosy ( I do not like my feet over hot!) so like the middle bowl of porridge these are just perfect for me! I am tempted to get another pair in another colour!
I do like them, but - they are a very tight fit around the ankle. They don't accommodate anything but the thinnest of socks. There's lots I do like about them. The footbed is very comfortable with plenty of room for wiggling the toes. I love the burgundy colour. They are warm with the extra insole. Overall - positive.
Super comfortable and cute looking boots! My first ever barefoot footwear. And they are so warm. They came with extra soles. But for +6 °C there is still no need for the extra insulation.
Wearing these shoes, my bunion hasn’t grown – if anything, I think it has got smaller.
I also hate wearing socks, so I’ve been able to forget about them completely all year round.
I recommend these shoes 100 per cent. 😍
We recommend ordering one size larger than your usual size. The easiest way is to measure your foot length in centimetres and choose the size that the Sulo 2 Winter size chart recommends for it.
The chart also shows the interior length and width of each size, so you can compare them if you plan to wear thicker winter socks or use the extra mid-insole.
Size charts are model-specific, so check this chart even if you already own another Vaistoa model.
Sulo 2 combines soft felt with a warm faux fur lining. It feels like wearing wool socks. Every adult pair also comes with a separate extra mid-insole. Place it under the winter insole when you want more insulation and warmth, for example when your time outdoors involves a lot of standing still.
According to physiotherapist Matti Melanen, when the foot is allowed to function naturally, metabolism increases and the feet warm themselves through movement.
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.
If you can walk barefoot or in socks, you can also wear barefoot shoes. Start gradually and listen to how your body feels as your feet get used to moving freely.
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:
