I should have only bought BÄR shoes in the past, because others don't come close in terms of fit (suitable for hallux and insoles) and quality
Walking naturally
Over 40 years ago, Christian Bär set out to achieve precisely this feeling. His guiding principle was simple but revolutionary: "The shape must follow the foot
By consistently living this idea, he became a true pioneer of toe freedom in 1982 - long before natural walking became a trend. Today, you can experience the result of his vision: shoes that give your feet the space they deserve - and give you the freedom to move naturally.

The BÄR principle: 100% toe freedom
Why do you experience a completely new, natural walking sensation in BÄR shoes? Because they offer 100 per cent toe freedom, giving you relaxation and comfort from the very first step. In BÄR shoes you walk as comfortably as barefoot. Because our shoes follow the natural shape of the foot. The zero heel offers an innovative design solution in which the heel and ball of the foot are on the same level, which supports your rolling behaviour. The soles are designed to adapt to the natural movements of the foot, giving you a feeling of lightness when walking. This flexibility allows you to move freely and without restriction, whether you are walking, running or simply going about your everyday life. This has been the BÄR principle for over 40 years.
MR DR. EICKELMANN
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 co-operate. 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 the back, head and neck. The intervertebral discs are relieved and the joints are protected."
