Be Lenka

Barefoot shoes embody a revolutionary idea in footwear, inviting us to reconnect with our foundational essence—walking unshod. After years of dedicated research and development, these shoes blend pure natural elements to create a remarkable option that awakens the nerve endings in our feet as we walk. This unique footwear not only enhances our posture and coordination but also elevates our spirits. So, what can you expect from Be Lenka barefoot shoes? They are incredibly lightweight and flexible, featuring a slim sole that allows you to experience the ground beneath you while ensuring utmost comfort.

We do care about your feet

Back pain, neck pain, hip pain or lower back pain seem to be the most common aches and pains of these days. Sometimes these problems are the result of wearing inappropriate footwear. Throw in some calluses, halluxes, and problems with the Achilles tendon or calves. We do not take care of our feet as we indeed should. Feet are here for us all the time. They carry us, and they even decide on our body posture. This is one of the reasons why Be Lenka changes the footwear habits of people and creates barefoot shoes for all men, women and kids, all seasons of the year and on all occasions.

4 benefits of going barefoot

Barefoot shoes are made to fit your feet naturally, instead of forcing your feet to fit into them. They help you walk like you’re not wearing any shoes at all. 

These shoes give your toes enough space to move around freely, which is very different from regular shoes that have hard bottoms, tall heels, and tight spaces for your toes.

  • The toe-box is thoughtfully crafted to provide ample room for your toes as they move, mirroring the natural contours of the foot.
  • Zero-drop – Zero difference between a heel and the toes. It improves weight distribution and body posture
  • Flexibility – ultra-flexible sole of 4 mm thickness allows feet and nerve endings to be stimulated by the surface they walk on. It imitates walking with no shoes on and it naturally massages the feet.
  • Lightness – Be Lenka barefoot are light and with no arch support. They strengthen the foot naturally and make it work properly.

Interesting facts were introduced by doctor William A. Rossini who conducted research and published it in the magazine Perspectives. Doctor Rossini claims, that correct body posture is a precise 90% angle which can be achieved only by being bare feet or having barefoot shoes with zero- drop. For instance, if you wear pumps with 5 cm high heels, the misalignment is 70% so you must put a real effort into correcting it and achieving said 90% angle. It leads to incorrect body posture creating immense pressure on one’s lower back.

Wide range and endless freedom

Some wear flats or sandals at work. Some like slippers or sneakers. Be Lenka offers elegant models, and sporty models, with or without laces, or with straps. Winter or summer, for everyone. There is a new addition to our portfolio – the new brand Bareberics that introduces the new generation of barefoot sneakers.

From research and development to becoming a barefoot elite

To create premium barefoot shoes takes patience, perseverance and precision. A little tidbit – we have been working for two years to create perfect flats that meet all of our expectations and that bring ultimate comfort to our lady customers. We have scanned more than one hundred feet in a course of several months to create perfect, minimalistic footwear for ladies, shoes that fully respect the anatomy of female feet. See the difference?

During the production, we emphasized the quality and handling, we used locally sourced materials and we supported traditional local crafts. Our products were back then entirely handcrafted in EU – Slovakia, Portugal and Vietnam. In countries rich with shoemaking tradition and today, we are proud, that we can continue in this tradition enriching it with modern technologies, innovative principles and love for human beings and nature.

We invest in the newest technologies, we cooperate with the most progressive shoemaking workshops in Europe and with reputable experts and scholars in the fields of physiotherapy, podology, shoe construction and design.
