Before You Start Sewing Your Barefoot Shoes

In this course, you will learn:

  • why custom-made barefoot shoes can be a game-changer for you;
  • what types of shoes you can make easily at home;
  • what steps does the shoemaking process consist of;
  • what materials and tools do you really need;
  • whether making your shoes is the right fit for you;
  • how can you start making your shoes right away.

Would you like to make yourself your own shoes?

And you hesitate,

  • if you can do it?
  • whether you´ll have enough time to make it with the kids or after work?
  • if it is for you, even if you don't have any experience and equipment yet?

I get it. I was the same way 6 years ago. I saw that a friend had started sewing barefoot shoes for herself and her family and had no idea how she was doing it with kids. At the same time, I was drawn to it because I've always enjoyed handmade crafts. But I wasn't very skilled at them because I didn't have the time. 

I decided to give it a try. And I was surprised that it wasn't so hard after all. I did it even though I didn't know how to sew on a machine. All I needed were a few cheap hand tools. I was so excited about it that I learned to sew all 3 basic types of shoes right away that summer - ballerinas, sandals, and lace-up shoes. I made them not only for myself but for my husband and son as well.

They were so soft and comfortable that I haven't wanted to wear another pair since. They didn't push me at the heel or toe and they fit my feet perfectly. My husband and son were also pleased. And after some time, when we noticed that our feet hurt less, my transverse arches stopped falling off, and my husband stopped limping on one foot just because we started wearing these hand-sewn, custom-made barefoot shoes. I decided I wasn't going to keep it to myself. I started teaching others how they can make such original and healthy shoes, too.

I´d love to show you it´s not so difficult to start.

Yes, it can be done with minimal investment, there´s no need to buy expensive equipment.

Where can you find simple tutorials?

The essential thing for me at the beginning was a good quality course where I learned all the steps correctly and that's why I got my first shoes right away.

And I'll recommend it to you too, so you don't have to try it by trial and error method.

Who will guide you through the course?

Dr. Karolina Castkova

I am a doctor and a mother of four children, and their health is my primary concern. I like to combine modern scientific knowledge with a holistic view of health.

My motivation for deciding to sew my first pair of barefoot ballerinas in 2017 wasn't health. The health benefits only became apparent after some time of wearing hand-sewn, custom-made shoes.

In this course, I will show you all you need to know to decide whether sewing your barefoot shoes is the right fit for you.

Klara Nemcekova

Mother of three, sewing lecturer and custom barefoot shoe designer. But balance comes first for me.

For almost 8 years my mission is to fill people's lives with comfort at every step and help them elevate their creative potential. I help them find their own balance between health, comfort and style.

Over a hundred participants have taken my classes and approximately the same number of custom barefoot shoes have passed through my hands.
