BTS at Vaistoa: winter shoe testing, but make it ✨gymnastics✨ 🤸‍♀️❄️

Oona’s daughter stopped by our showroom yesterday to help us shoot content for our new winter shoes.

And let’s just say… there was NO shortage of energy! 😂

The ultimate test? Cartwheels. And yep, the winter shoes passed with flying colours!

🗓️ Kids’ and adults’ barefoot winter shoes launch on October 17th! 👣 Mark your calendars.

👣 5 REASONS TO CHOOSE BAREFOOT SHOES FOR KIDS 👣

Growing feet need room to move, learn and explore! 🤸

Physiotherapy guidance highlights well-fitting shoes that allow movement. Barefoot shoes follow this principle with an anatomical toe box, flexible soles and no raised heel.

1️⃣ Space for toes to spread.

A wide, foot-shaped toe box gives little toes room to move without being squeezed together — through every step and adventure.

2️⃣ Soles that bend with their feet.

Flexible soles move with the feet during walking, crouching and climbing, giving children freedom to use their feet.

3️⃣ Freedom to use developing muscles.

Foot muscles need opportunities to work. Soft, flexible footwear allows movement needed for developing strength and maintaining mobility.

4️⃣ Barefoot freedom, with protection from the cold.

Going barefoot allows free movement when conditions are safe and comfortable. But in countries like Finland 🇫🇮, where Vaistoa comes from, little feet need warmth and protection outdoors, especially in winter.

Barefoot shoes aim to preserve that freedom while providing protection suited to the season. ❄️

5️⃣ Potential benefits for balance and strength

Research suggests that regularly going barefoot during childhood may be linked to better balance and jumping skills.

Studies on minimalist shoes also suggest potential benefits for foot strength and balance. 📚

Check the model-specific size chart and regularly recheck the fit as your child grows. If your child experiences foot pain or needs prescribed footwear, follow your physiotherapist’s individual advice.

P.S. A little sneak peek! 😉 This Saturday, 17 October, we’re launching the new waterproof barefoot winter boots for kids shown in the picture. ❄️

✔ A thin, flexible zero-drop sole
✔ A breathable upper with a water-repellent finish

“Best footwear! Comfortable, light, pretty!!” – Aigi

“A really lovely pair of shoes for walking. A dainty, beautiful pair of shoes with plenty of room for your feet!” – Riina

“An excellent purchase, and I highly recommend them. They’ve been brilliant so far, and I reckon they’ll only get better as the weather gets colder.” – Junnu

“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.” – Pauliina

“I used them for the first time for hiking and mountain biking, and they’re absolutely brilliant! My third pair of Vaistoa shoes, and yet another satisfied customer!” – Iida
