About us

We are Babybare, a Slovak slow-fashion brand focused on barefoot shoes for children. We believe that a child’s first steps should be natural, comfortable, and beautiful — and that’s exactly what we strive to create.

 

 

The brand was founded by Pavlína Lišková in 2017, driven by a desire to make barefoot shoes that truly matched her vision. Her biggest inspiration was her daughter Amélia — in fact, her little feet were the model for our original shoe lasts, which we still use today to create our signature Febo models.

 

Our small but dedicated team — Pavlína, Laura, and Dominika — is based in Bratislava, where we design and develop every model from scratch. The production itself takes place in Klátová Nová Ves, a village in the heart of Slovakia, where skilled hands turn our ideas into reality.

 

Each pair of Babybare shoes is a result of thoughtful teamwork — from initial concept and materials selection, to color combinations and functional details. Our unique shape, inspired by Amélia’s foot, has become highly sought-after for being wide enough in the toe box yet secure-fitting around narrow ankles and heels, making our shoes exceptionally well-fitting for many different foot types.

 

In 2024, we began collaborating with a Portuguese manufacturer to bring even more refined designs and new models to life. However, our Slovak production remains a key foundation of our brand and values.

 

Babybare shoes are more than just footwear — they’re a labor of love, designed with intention, tested by children, and made with care. From first steps onward, we’re here to support natural movement every step of the way.
