BÄR tips for your well-being

Our feet play a major role in our lives. After all, we spend between 25 and 57 percent of our lives on our feet. It is therefore important to know how valuable and complex our feet are and how much they can influence our well-being. The foot consists of 26 bones, 100 ligaments hold them together and 20 muscles ensure movement and stability. This makes our feet a true masterpiece of nature, forming the foundation on which we stand. By the time we reach the age of 80, we will have walked around 170,000 km, which is roughly four times around the world.

Is it not a matter of course to wear comfortable shoes?  

BÄR shoes not only impress with their 100% toe freedom, but also with their modern design. The shoes are based on the natural shape of our feet and offer a unique wearing experience. The zero heel is a healthy alternative to traditional shoe models, as it supports the natural rolling motion of the foot and at the same time ensures maximum flexibility and freedom of movement. So you can feel comfortable all day long and take your steps with ease.

Dr. Eickelmann, a specialist in orthopaedics, agrees with our philosophy:

"Maximum toe freedom, combined with the flexibility of a barefoot shoe, encourages the foot to cooperate. This promotes muscle development and flexibility of the ligaments and tendons in the foot. The toes and heel area are on the same level in BÄR shoes, which leads to an even load on your foot: the anatomical balance of your spine prevents postural damage and prevents tension in your back, head and neck. The intervertebral discs are relieved and the joints are protected."

Application: With the help of a tennis ball, a wooden ball or the "meinbruno", you can gently massage the sole of your foot, customized to your individual strength. Enjoy an extensive massage on the sole of your foot once a day, as this area of the body is often forgotten. You can apply targeted pressure to the relevant areas of the foot and body to relieve tension and promote your well-being. "Meinbruno" is practical to take with you, so you don't have to do without it on any journey.

When walking barefoot to the bathroom, you can deliberately walk on the outer edge of the foot for a while to activate a different muscle group, and then walk on the inside of the foot again to ensure a balanced workload. This variation promotes the flexibility and stability of the foot muscles and can help to make walking more comfortable overall. Stretching exercises in the morning are also a great way to start the day. They help to relax the muscles, promote circulation and prepare the body for upcoming activities. As the old saying goes: "Stretching in the morning banishes sorrow and worry!".

But what can I do for my feet?

Our feet play an important role in our lives. After all, we spend between 25 and 57 per cent of our lives on our feet. It is therefore important to know how valuable and complex our feet are and how much they can influence our well-being.

Isn't it natural to wear comfortable shoes?

BÄR shoes not only impress with their 100% toe freedom, but also with their modern design. The shoes are based on the natural shape of our feet and offer a unique wearing experience.

The roller is ideal for self-massage of the soles of the feet - especially after sporting activity or long periods of standing. Gentle stimulation loosens adhesions in the fascia tissue, stimulates blood circulation and makes your feet feel relaxed. The calming effect on the foot reflex zones has a positive influence on general well-being.

Application
Simple foot massage

Use a tennis ball, wooden ball or MEINBRUNO to gently massage the sole of your foot and adjust the pressure to your personal comfort level. Treat your feet to a daily massage and concentrate on an often neglected area. Targeted pressure helps to relieve tension and supports your general well-being.

Thanks to its compact size and low weight, MEINBRUNO is easy to transport and can be used flexibly - even when travelling, so you never have to miss out on relaxation.

Small habits for strong, flexible feet

If you walk barefoot - for example on the way to the bathroom - you can try stepping briefly over the outer edge of your foot. Then switch back to the inner edge of the foot. This deliberate variation changes the strain on your feet when walking and can be integrated into your daily routine as an additional exercise.

Morning stretching exercises are also a great way to start the day. They help to loosen up the muscles, stimulate circulation and prepare the body for the activities ahead. As the saying goes: "Stretching in the morning chases away sorrow and worry."
