Who We Are

At Be Lenka, we believe that comfort should never mean compromise. We’re a European barefoot footwear brand on a mission to change how people think about shoes and how their feet feel in them. Since 2017, we’ve helped hundreds of thousands of people fall in love with natural movement again. Guided by our founder and CEO Juraj Fehervari, Be Lenka has become a global name in premium barefoot shoes - honored with international awards like EY Entrepreneur of the Year and featured in more than 300 media outlets worldwide. But what truly defines us is the feeling. The moment you slip on Be Lenka shoes, your feet finally exhale. You feel freedom, softness, and connection with every step.

What We Believe

We believe your feet deserve to move the way nature intended. Barefoot shoes aren’t just a style choice. They’re a healthier, more mindful way to walk through life. At Be Lenka, we blend research, technology, and craftsmanship to create footwear that respects your body’s natural rhythm. Each pair is made to support you all day long - from school drop-offs and busy workdays to evening walks and weekend adventures. Our shoes help prevent tired feet and back pain while keeping you light on your toes. Because when your feet feel good, you feel good.

Our Promise & Vision

Every pair of Be Lenka shoes carries a promise to bring you comfort, quality, and joy. We carefully choose the best materials, perfect every stitch, and make sure each design feels as good as it looks. Our vision reaches beyond footwear. Through the Be Lenka Foundation, we support projects that inspire people and protect the planet. When you wear Be Lenka, you’re not just choosing comfort. You’re joining a movement toward a more responsible and sustainable world.

Research & Development

Innovation is at the heart of what we do. Our R&D team is constantly exploring new ways to make your shoes lighter, softer, and more sustainable without ever sacrificing durability or style. As a European brand with a global reach, we craft our shoes in some of the most advanced production facilities across four continents. This global collaboration lets us combine European design standards with the latest technologies and materials from around the world. The result? Premium barefoot shoes that look beautiful, feel incredible, and last for years. Our unique sole materials are designed for flexibility, grip, and long-lasting comfort. With every new design, we’re taking barefoot shoes to the next level, while keeping our environmental footprint as light as possible.
