In terms of sustainability, Be Lenka has always been known for its commitment to slow fashion, emphasizing the investment in high-quality materials to ensure a longer-lasting product.
To uphold its sustainability practices, Be Lenka relies on local sources, with most of its production taking place within the European Union, specifically in Slovakia, Portugal, and the Czech Republic. Additionally, there has been recent expansion into Vietnam, aimed at offering customers products crafted using the latest state-of-the-art technology. While this does make Be Lenka a pricier option, the company promises high quality. Overall, Be Lenka aims to provide sustainable shoes with the lowest possible impact on the environment.
After the production process and before the shoes reach customers, Be Lenka inspects every shoe it produces, with skilled shoemakers identifying any visible flaws that the human eye might miss, thus ensuring some of the highest quality barefoot shoes.
