Love the shoes
Love the shoes,had other brands Barefoot shoes but they are not as good and comfortable as Vaistoa for me,can walk for hours in them,they're great!
Vaistoa shoes feel so good that I don't…
Vaistoa shoes feel so good that I don't want to use any other shoes. Well okay, I do use rubber boots and motorcycling boots, but that's all. My feet have never been better.
Wonderful shoes
Wonderful shoes! Great, helpful, serious company you can trust! I was a bit sceptical, but honestly, I haven't worn any other shoes since I got my barefoot shoes. I now have three pairs of them. Just in love with barefoot walking, even in the forest. Recommendations!

Bought my first pair of Vaistoa's a few months ago after trying a couple of other big name brand barefoot shoes and all I can is my Vaistoas are the absolute best! They fit better than any other barefoot brand I've tried and my feet are super happy after wearing them for long walks or all day at work. Looking forward to getting my next pair of Vaistoa's shortly.

First of all I love the shoes from Vaistoa! I have ordered two different models at different times. Both times the pakkage arrived within a few days.
Excellent service
Excellent service. I bought a wrong size and it was super easy to return the product and get the money back. When I got the correct size, it was great. I enjoy the product very much and I can recommend barefoot and Vaistoa to everybody. Barefoot is a game changer!
Quality shoes,perfect for my…
Quality shoes,perfect for my feet,durable,good to wear,i can truly reccomend these shoes!
Happy customer!
I've bought four pairs of shoes fron Vaistoa and I am super happy with all of them. I had never tried barefoot shoes before and was a bit apprehensive because I've had problems with both a foot and a knee for almost a year. Barefoot shoes are not miracle workers, I sometimes still have pain in my knee - but not often, and my foot feels great!
I like Vaistoa because they are comfortable and not ugly like some other barefoot shoes. I'm very happy with my experience with their shoes!
Great product and service
Great product and service. Vaistoa are innovative, very well made and unbelievably comfortable. I confess to being sceptical about zero drop shoes but I am converted they have made a massive difference to me through gym work and general comfort especially hiking. Highly recommended they make a huge difference and Vaistoas style makes it better and accessible.
Very happy with my purchase
Very good customer service who replied within the same day every time I had a question.
Very easy return process, the label is already printed and the shipment already payed, money back within a few days.
Uoma2 are very comfortable and look nice. They have instantly become my favourite shoes ever, and I wear them every day since 3 months back. Can't say about the long term quality yet but I hope they are durable as well.
Loved them but the quality did not last
In November 2025 I received my first pair of Tuohi in blue-gray, my first ever pair of bare shoes. It was a dream that they were vegan as well.
I wanted them mainly for hiking, but as I also like to be comfy at work, I wanted them also but everyday chill use.
Sorry to say that the quality of these shoes is not at all what I expected. The company brands themselves as knowing the weather changes in the Nordics being from Finland... Well, that I bough a pair of shoes in November, and they quite destroyed by May (in the milder area of the Nordics) is really not good at all. Let me say that all December I was away and did not use them at all. The kind of hikes I do are also quite chill, so I really don't see how they got so smashed.
So, I loved the fit, I loved the colour, I loved the comfort. But the love lasted very short.
And while they're still usable, I feel almost guilty to go out in the woods knowing the plastic cover is falling to pieces. Totally the opposite of what I wanted.

Great product and outstanding service
Great product and outstanding service. Vaistoa shoes have been my introduction to zero drop shoes and boots. They are a real game-changer interms of comfort and performance. The shoes are great and as importantly Vaistoa stand behind their product, refunds are straightforward and hassle free. Highly recommended , authentic shoes and great folk.
Vaistoa praise all over
I am a huge Vaistoa fan. I wonder about the negative reviews? I have been shopping my barefoot shoes with them for a couple of years now. I have problematic feet, wide, flat and with bunions :-/ I have tried quite a few other barefoot shoes, but I keep coming back to Vaistoa. They a just a very good and comfortable fit for me. And I am on my feet all day!
I think the quality is very high, the design is great and the shoes are very comfortable and durable. I experienced a tear in the first batch of tuohi and reached out to Vaistoa, they got me another pair, same thing happened and I ended up with another model because I didnt want to wait for the tuohi 2.0. Excellent customer service. As a receiver of the newsletter I get early access to their shoes and offers. I am very fond of colours so I do hope that there will be more colors to choose from in the future, but comfort is more important for my poor feet, so I shall keep wiggling my toes in Vaistoa shoes :-)
Shoes are ok but ads are misleading
1. The shape of shoes is not anatomic. It is just broad front.
2. Made in China.
3. Shoes look good and the quality is good, but the price is way to high. One can order same shoes from China for a fraction of the cost.
tears after a few weeks
I bought (from their site) the Vaistoa Tuohi | Barefoot Light Hiking Shoes in blueish-grey. After about 6 to 8 weeks there were already some small tears appearing where the leathery fabric is glued to the sole at the front (and both shoes and I just use for normal everyday office use, no hiking!). The tears are slowly getting larger each day. So yeah, that's my money down the drain. Temu quality as someone else mentioned somewhere. Stay away from this one :(

These company makes very bad shoes…
These company makes very bad shoes especially the soles. The tiiny model is too short for common patterns. I bought number 41 and its size is smaller than 40 normal shoes. They advertise it as being normal size but it’s a lie. When you complain they refuse to solve the problem giving a silly excuse and don’t replace or give money back. In my case they said that I had use it . That’s the information that I gave them explaining that after 4 hours testing them they were hurting my toes. How can we decide that shoes that are our number don’t fit our feet? These are too highly priced to have such a bad relationship with clients.

A barefoot shoe that requires socks
I bought as barefoot shoes but the seam at the top is rough and scratchy so super uncomfortable to wear unless using socks.
Wellies break too quickly
Bought Wellies in Germany. Super comfortable
Rubber split on both shoes on crease points after 2 month if use
Got them replaced but couldn't post the old pair back from the UK ( they would not accept that) nor the new one delivered to the UK ( so had to run it through a friend)
The replacement split after 7 month not only over crease points over the toes but in several places.
Sorry can't recommend them - far too expensive and short lived.
