Stories and Brands Walking, Movement and Health Selecting and Maintaining Barefoot Shoes
Popular barefoot brand Be Lenka is now available at Naboso – discover handcrafted shoes from Slovakia that combine healthy, natural movement with modern design.
We’ve got great news for you! Another barefoot brand is joining our range – one that many of you will already know: Be Lenka. And if you don’t, it’s high time to change that.
Why did we choose Be Lenka? The answer is simple. We share the same philosophy – we know that barefoot isn’t just a trend, but a path to healthier feet and natural movement. On top of that, Be Lenka brings premium quality and a design that’s genuinely exciting.
In this article, we’ll introduce the brand’s story, its values, and of course the pieces you can try on with us or order online.
Behind Be Lenka is the inspiring story of Lenka Cenigová and Juraj Fehervari. Lenka, a mum and physiotherapist, understood how important natural movement and proper body support are from early childhood. In 2017, together with Juraj, she founded a brand that started out by making ergonomic baby carriers and wraps.
The turning point came when they were looking for their children’s first shoes. When Juraj put on barefoot shoes for the first time, it was a defining moment for him. He couldn’t understand why everyone wasn’t wearing footwear like this – and why he hadn’t discovered barefoot much earlier. The feeling of freedom and natural movement was so strong that he immediately knew he had to share the idea with others.
From 2019, Be Lenka began developing its own barefoot footwear. The first model – ballet flats – took eight months to create. It wasn’t easy, but the courage to try something new is exactly what still defines Be Lenka today. Since then, the brand has grown significantly, expanded from Slovakia to more than 80 countries worldwide, and become one of the leaders in the barefoot market.
Be Lenka isn’t just about shoes. It’s a philosophy that changes how you look at everyday things – like walking itself. When you slip into Be Lenka barefoot shoes, you don’t just feel comfort; the way you perceive your movement changes too.
Health first – Be Lenka shoes support the natural function of the foot and help prevent tired feet and back pain.
Premium quality – Production takes place in leading European workshops in Portugal, with some also made in Vietnam. Careful material selection and high-quality workmanship are the standard.
Sustainability – Be Lenka produces only as many shoes as are truly needed, works with low-carbon-footprint materials, and supports meaningful projects through the Be Lenka Foundation.
Style and comfort – Be Lenka manages to combine a healthy barefoot concept with modern design.
Now for the most important part – which Be Lenka models can you get from us?
If you’re looking for shoes for everyday wear, for work, or for city walks, Be Lenka offers a wide selection of urban models. From stylish trainers and elegant slip-ons to designs that look like classic footwear at first glance, but hide barefoot comfort inside – plus plenty of room for your toes. Whether you prefer minimalist styling or something more distinctive, you’ll find shoes that fit your look perfectly while giving your feet freedom of movement. These models are ideal for long days in town when you want to look good and feel great from morning to night.
For lovers of nature and active movement, Be Lenka’s portfolio includes durable models that can handle more demanding terrain. These shoes are designed for hiking, mountain trips, woodland walks, and everyday outdoor activities. They combine a robust build with a flexible sole that gives you enough protection while still keeping a natural connection with the ground. They stand out for their grippy outsole, moisture resistance, and breathability. If you spend time outdoors and don’t want to give up the barefoot feel even during tougher activities, these models are made for you.
Winter doesn’t have to mean the end of barefoot walking. Be Lenka offers warm, water-resistant winter models with faux fur or a special insulating layer to keep you cosy even in freezing temperatures. These shoes are equipped with a membrane to protect against moisture and snow. Be Lenka’s winter collection proves that even in the colder months you can wear shoes that respect your feet and deliver maximum comfort. Whether you head out for a snowy walk or simply go about your day in town, your feet will stay warm and dry.
In just a few years, Be Lenka has gained huge popularity not only in Slovakia and the Czech Republic, but worldwide too. It supplies more than 80 countries, with its biggest success in Germany, Western Europe, and North America. The Czech market accounts for around 20% of total sales, showing just how strongly the brand resonates internationally as well.
Customers love Be Lenka for its quality, comfort, and design. Many share stories about how barefoot footwear helped them with knee or back pain, or with tired feet. And it’s exactly this feedback that motivates the brand to keep innovating and improving.
Be Lenka is a brand that has managed to combine health, style, and quality into barefoot shoes loved by people all over the world. Now they’re part of our range at Naboso too – and we can’t wait for you to love them as much as we do.
