The Be Lenka Kids Winter barefoot guarantee maximum comfort for the child’s foot, thanks to its high quality skin-friendly materials and minimalist and light design.
The durable shoe upper made with premium smooth leather and protective membrane ensures water resistance with regular use of waterproofing spray. The tongue, connected to the upper of the shoe prevents the entry of water and snow. The breathable insulating lining and removable insole ensure warm, dry and airy comfort.
Children’s foot bones are malleable, so flexibility and unlimited movement of the foot are of the utmost importance for their natural development. Thin and flexible, the 6mm sole allows the foot to bend and flex naturally, resulting in improved walking posture, stronger foot muscles and increased sensory feedback (for better control of motor function and balance) .
Be Lenka Penguin barefoot shoes are suitable for wearing in playgrounds, parks, any urban environment and for everyday walks.
The wide front part of the shoe (wide toe box) allows the toes to move freely and does not crush them as traditional shoes do, thus ensuring comfort even throughout the day.
Velcro fasteners allow you to tighten the ankle as desired, making them suitable for a variety of foot types. Reflective components on the sides and back of the shoe ensure they are easily seen in low light conditions for added safety for your little ones.

Be Lenka is a small artisan company in the Czech Republic. It produces footwear with high quality materials of your choice between genuine leather or vegan fabrics. The wide front of the shoe offers excellent comfort, and allows a natural and unlimited movement of the foot thus ensuring comfort even during use all day. Human feet are built for unlimited movement. Be Lenka barefoot shoes with your feet to move freely, comfortably and naturally without any adjustments. They perfectly imitate walking barefoot, just like nature intended them to be. You will never pull them away.
Determining the correct Be Lenka shoe size for your feet is a two-step process:
Measure your feet
- Place a piece of paper on a flat surface (avoid soft carpet or cobblestone surfaces).
- Place your foot on the paper (you must be standing, not sitting, during the measurement).
- Put your weight on your foot as this process stretches it.
- Take a pencil and mark the heel and the point furthest from the heel – the longest measurement.
- Use a ruler and measure the difference between these two points.
- Do the same for the second foot (the difference could be +/- 0.5 cm).
- The number you get is your foot size (not your shoe size, as standard shoe size may be misleading).
- Next take your foot measurement (the number you got by measuring both feet) then add 5 to 12 mm (the ideal leeway). The total is the final measurement you are looking for. The margin for maneuver can reach up to 18 mm, because we must think that physiologically the foot lengthens during movement and/or could do so over time. So if you’re used to seeing little abundance in traditional barefoot shoes you have to take space into consideration.
- In winter models, the leeway can be even greater, especially if you plan to wear thicker socks. On the contrary, in summer sandals it can be smaller due to the open toe.
