Feel good from foot to head

- thanks to the BÄR principles

BÄR shoes provide optimum support for feet and meet the highest demands. Toe freedom, zero heel and flexibility create the incomparable BÄR feeling: relaxed comfort from the very first step.

Your body statics remain in balance thanks to safe walking and standing. Your joints are relieved - just like walking barefoot in the sand. Foot deformations are prevented, the feet can regenerate. The anatomical balance of the spine prevents postural damage, intervertebral discs are relieved and joints are protected. From thin soles to strong cushioning, there is a suitable model for every foot type Tension in the back, head and neck is relieved. Blood circulation and healthy vein function are promoted. Muscles and tendons are dynamically trained, BÄR shoes provide the necessary support, stabilise and prevent twisting.

The Bär principle: toe freedom

Toes are important sensors and give the body balance and stability. But only if they can move freely and are not restricted.

If shoes are too tight, the little toes are squeezed together and get cramped. After a while, they can no longer be stretched, even if you walk barefoot.

The bear principle: the zero heel

Zero heel: Optimal, natural weight distribution ⇒ 7.5 cm heel. Pressure in the forefoot approx + 76%

The calf muscle pumps blood back to the heart when it is active. This only works if you walk without a heel or with a low heel - like barefoot.

With a high heel, the Achilles tendon is under irritation and gradually shortens. With a flat shoe, it is quite anatomically in its natural line and length.

In contrast to normal shoes, which hold on to the foot due to the narrowness in the toe area, the BÄR shoe gives the foot its support at the instep and heel.

The Bär principle: flexibility

Push off and balance the propulsion.

Prevents heel spurs, arthritis, immobility and hallux valgus.

The BÄR principle has been based on current medical research and German engineering for over 35 years.

OUR PHILOSOPHY

"Busy days at the office, extended shopping trips, walks or long hikes. My father Christian Bär came up with the revolutionary idea of uncompromising toe freedom more than 30 years ago. It was combined with the zero heel and the highest material quality. From an orthopaedically conceived "comfort shoe", an attractive product portfolio was created around the natural walking feeling - combined with design quality for the highest demands."
Christof Bär, Managing Director
