Barefoot School Podcast #147 – Bosky Shoes: Barefoot Sandals Made in Europe 🇨🇿
This is a first for the Barfußschule: our very first podcast episode recorded entirely in English!
In this special episode, Ben Grümer and Per-Olof Waßen talk to Jana from Bosky Shoes, a Czech company dedicated to minimalist barefoot sandals.
We had the opportunity to test Bosky sandals ourselves – and we really liked them. So we wanted to learn more: Who is behind Bosky? What does it mean to manufacture minimalist footwear in Europe? And where is the barefoot movement heading?
Bosky's story was inspired by minimalist footwear and the simple concept of traditional Huarache sandals, famously associated with the Tarahumara – or Rarámuri – people of Mexico. From this inspiration, Bosky developed its own approach to modern minimalist sandals, made in the Czech Republic.
Together with Jana, we talk about:
– what it means to develop and manufacture footwear in Europe,
– local production, materials and supply chains,
– why Bosky decided to specialize in sandals,
– the barefoot movement in the Czech Republic and across Europe,
– what we can learn from each other, and
– the present and future of barefoot shoes and natural movement.
It is a conversation about feet, movement, entrepreneurship, European footwear production – and, above all, our shared passion for helping people move more naturally.
🎙️ Episode #147 is a special episode and will be released on Tuesday – one day before our regular Wednesday podcast.
