Iveta Kořínková on ANTAL barefoot shoes: a personal journey to foot freedom

Presenter and influencer Iveta Kořínková describes her personal route to barefoot footwear and her collaboration with ANTAL. She talks about comfort, nature, design and the value of local production.

From her daughter’s shoes to her own experience

She first looked for suitable shoes for her daughter. Later she wanted to try barefoot footwear herself, and ANTAL appealed to her visually and in wear. She also says openly that she still alternates between different types of shoes.

What Iveta values in the footwear

• toe room without uncomfortable pressure
• a simple sporty and elegant appearance
• a sense of the surface while walking
• versatility with different outfits

Nature, craft and a feeling of freedom

Iveta enjoys time in nature and finds knitting mentally restorative. She values a sole that protects the foot while leaving her with a sense of freedom. She compares the feeling to surfacing from water and taking a fresh breath.

Why ANTAL’s social purpose appealed to her

The social enterprise idea also drew her to the collaboration: providing regional jobs, supporting the local community and reinvesting profit in the company. She appreciates a brand that considers its surroundings as well as its product.

• choose according to your own foot shape and measurements
• try shoes on and check pressure and slipping
• introduce a new footwear type according to your comfort

A personal experience, not a universal prescription
