MEASUREMENTS:
Weight: 280 g (size 40)
Shaft height: 16.4 cm (size 40)
Sole thickness: 4.5 mm
USAGE
Loosen the laces properly when taking the shoes off and putting them on. This reduces wear and helps extend the lifespan of your shoes.
Let the shoes air out well after use. Fully loosen the laces, remove the insole, open the shoe wide, and allow the shoes to dry naturally before the next use.
It’s also good to give your shoes “rest days” so they can dry and ventilate properly.
CLEANING AND STORAGE
It’s best to clean off loose dirt right after use with a damp cloth or sponge.
We do not recommend washing barefoot shoes in a washing machine. The membranes of waterproof models may become clogged, and machine washing can weaken the durability of the shoe’s glued parts.
Store the shoes upright at room temperature and protected from UV light.
Enjoy every step and every trail!

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
Ultra-Lightweight (Size 40 – 280g)
Tuohi is surprisingly light—like wearing nothing at all. A lighter step means less strain on your feet, so you can go further, whether it's a short hike or a long trek.
Breathable Upper Material
Air flows freely to keep your feet cool—even on hot summer days. Less sweat, more comfort throughout the journey.
Water-Resistant Upper & High Mudguard
Light summer rain and damp trails won’t slow you down. The naturally water-resistant upper, protective coating, and high mudguard help shield your feet from moisture.

Customer Reviews
Overall rating: 4.4 / 5 from 254 reviews.
Very grateful for fast and accommodating customer service. Fast delivery, pleasant dialogue and I was met with kindness and generosity. Would recommend Vaistoa 10/10 and I love the shoes. I’ve planned more hikes in the coming months just to be able to use the shoes!
I'm so in love. I've been hesitant to start with barefoot shoes since I knew I'd get bitten immediately...and now I'm a total nerd and I go around like a preacher telling everyone to change their ways... haha <3 I wouldn't want it any other way. I feel great. Thank you!
These shoes are made for my feet! I love them so much! Perfect for hiking inn all terrains! These are my second pair of Vaistoa and the Tuohi 2 is good for low volume feet. The sizing is a bit big. If you are in doubt, take the smallest, or just choose one size down.
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.
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 😀
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!
My foot size is 23.5–24. I ordered size 38. There’s a bit of room in the shoes, and it takes a while to get used to the wide fit. I took the shoes for a test run on the frisbee course. My socks stayed dry and they felt great whilst moving around. And they certainly look the part.
The first time I took these shoes out for a walk led me to the first black trumpet mushroom spot of my life! They’re light and incredibly comfortable to wear whilst trudging through the woods – no more rubber wellies in the woods. You can trudge for even longer when there’s no weight on your feet. I’m more than happy with these shoes.
I was disappointed to find that, after wearing them twice, the bone and tendon on the side of my ankle became really sore at the point where the second-top hole in the ankle straps sits. The next day, a bruise even appeared, and the area is still tender to the touch.
Otherwise, I was really impressed with the shoes and they felt great on my feet.
I have sent an enquiry asking what can be done and am awaiting a reply at Vaistoa.
Satisfied users. My feet quickly got used to them, and stones and roots didn’t get in the way. My toes didn’t hurt on downhill sections. They provide good ankle support. A little dampness from the ground didn’t soak through to my socks, and they were well-ventilated too.
I used them for the first time for hiking and mountain biking, and they’re absolutely brilliant! My third pair of vaistoan shoes, and yet another satisfied customer!
Great shoes so far, only call out to help others is that I wear a UK 10.5 in new balance and ordered a 45 based on the recommendation of the system. I would go for a 44 next time.
It's my third set of boots from you and I love them. I have tried Vivo, Hobie Bear, XZero, and many others and these are by far the most comfortable, best fit, and long-lasting. These ones are my favourites. My feet do not sweat as they are fully breathable but still when I'm standing in a boat that has water in, my feet stay dry as long as i'm not standing in it for too long.
The shoes look nice and are certainly a generous size. The only downside – and it’s quite a big one – is that they aren’t particularly ‘water-repellent’. Walking on damp grass in the morning got my socks wet around the instep.
I took these shoes to the pebble beach at Luovttat in Norway today; the walk is challenging, with all its uphill stretches and sharp stones, but my feet didn’t hurt once at any stage. With my previous shoes from another manufacturer, walking on the gravel path used to be a bit painful at times.
Lovely, stylish shoes – I haven’t gone for a walk in them yet, but they feel great now that I’ve FINALLY managed to work out what size suits me best. Thank you for supplying these. I bought my first pair of Riemut years ago, and the soles are starting to get a bit thin, which is a bit of a worry. My next pair of Riemut are already waiting – they’re wine-red, or actually, they’re my party shoes. I’ve also bought a couple of pairs of barefoot shoes for my son and my 6-year-old daughter.
After using other brands of Barefootshoes,these Vaistoa shoes are from a much higher level,very convenient,feels so natural,it's my first pair of Vaistoa shoes but not my last pair!!
Highly recommended!!
Really good shoes for walking in the countryside. One star off because they’re difficult to put on. I’d like the leather pull tab at the back of the shoe to be bigger. Enough so that a finger can fit inside it. That would make the shoes easier to put on.
The package arrived surprisingly quickly. The appearance and workmanship are very beautiful and give a high-quality impression both inside and out. In terms of comfort, however, the product could still use some improvement, because the reinforcement inside the shoe extends about 3 mm too high and rubbed against the ankle bone during the first few days. I had to gently hammer that area a bit to soften it, and now it is fine.
The flexibility of the sole is excellent and the tread pattern is better than before. Mud doesn’t build up in the tread as much.
They provide just the right amount of support for the ankle, without being too stiff. Really light and comfortable shoes for pottering about in the woods.
Really lovely shoes, and even though they’re thin, my feet stay warm because they can move around inside them. They don’t cause any chafing, just like all the other Vaistoa shoes.
I wear these loads, both in town and when out and about in the countryside.
I particularly like the fact that they’re quite water-resistant thanks to the mudguard.
Highly recommended! ✨️
Very pleased with these they are incredibly lightweight and breathable and the perfect compliment to the winter boots I have from Vaistoa. Perfect for spring hiking on lowland trails and a great addition to my growing collection of Vaistoa acquisitions. I must admit I was sceptical about the whole barefoot, zero drop idea until trying them at first in septemeber last year but I am now a convert and fan. Thankyou and highly recommended this is a step you wont regret.
Comfortable, lightweight shoes for outdoor activities and day trips. Plenty of room for your toes. I ordered them as advised and they fit true to size, even though they felt a bit too big at first.
They’re brilliant, aren’t they! My first pair of barefoot shoes, but certainly not my last. After wearing them just a few times, they’re already the best shoes I’ve ever had on!
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:
