Important Announcement: The Future of LUKS Barefoot

It isn’t easy for us to write this, but we want to be honest with you. LUKS Barefoot is slowly coming to an end.

Why we are closing

For a long time, we have been trying to make shoes that make sense. Shoes that are high quality, honest, and made from materials that last. Shoes that will serve you for years and feel truly comfortable to wear.

Our vision has always been to create footwear that you fall in love with the moment you put it on. Shoes that exceed your expectations in both durability and comfort.

We have achieved that.
But shoes like these come with their costs.

Quality materials are expensive. We also need to account for our work, production, and other essential costs. We believe the final price is fair, but the reality of today’s market is different.

More and more often, we find that most customers are looking for a lower price rather than long term value. At the same time, more brands are entering the market with cheaper production and more accessible pricing.

We could follow the same path, lower our production costs and compromise on quality. But that is not something we want to do.

We have always stood for creating things honestly and without compromise. And that is not going to change.

Our journey

We are a small company. We have always done everything ourselves, from design and communication to the actual production.

We have done it honestly, with full dedication and heart.

Perhaps that is also why our communication was not always perfect. We simply had our hands full. But we always tried to make sure that the work behind us was something we could be proud of.

Two years ago, we were given a second chance to continue. We truly appreciated it. Today, however, we find ourselves in the same place again.

There are fewer orders than we need, and in the long term they do not cover the costs of running the business.

What this means for you

  • We understand that this announcement may raise questions. Here are the most important answers:

Václav, Václav Jr., Monika and Lenka
