Through two world wars and a communist take over, the Bat’a name survives to this very day. This is more than a story about Czech shoes. It is a story of good business sense, innovation, and perseverance. From the world famous Bat’a price standard to the early use of business air travel, the Bat’a business was second to none in central Europe.
