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.

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.

Anti-Slip Sole

The outsole of Vaistoa's winter shoes is made from a slightly softer compound, which increases friction and improves grip on slippery surfaces.

Light and Warm

Weighing only 205 grams, the Ulappa keeps feet warm thanks to its soft fur lining and thermal insoles. It is the perfect choice for autumn and winter adventures.

Physiotherapist Recommends

As a physiotherapist, I emphasize the importance of allowing children's feet to move naturally during development.

Vaistoa Ulappa barefoot shoes, with their wide toe box and flexible sole, support the natural function of the foot, allowing muscles and tendons to strengthen. The shoes’ design promotes balance and agility, while the lightweight structure reduces foot strain.

The waterproof membrane and fur lining provide warmth and protection, ensuring comfort in all weather conditions. This makes them an excellent choice for growing, active feet.

Even though the sole is thin, its material offers good grip on slippery surfaces. The thin sole also allows your child to feel the terrain beneath their 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 child's walking style.

Many children 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.

Barefoot shoes allow a child's feet to grow and develop naturally, which is crucial for their overall foot health. Traditional shoes often restrict the natural movement and growth of a child's feet, potentially leading to various foot problems. Barefoot shoes promote natural foot function by providing a wide toe box and a thin, flexible sole that mimics the feeling of being barefoot. This encourages the development of strong, healthy foot muscles and improves balance and coordination.
