Freedom for your feet – experience the lightness of open shoes 

For many women, open shoes are as much a part of the warm season as sunshine and ice cream. But they are much more than just a practical companion on hot days: they stand for freedom of movement, naturalness and a special body feeling. Open shoes allow for freer, healthier walking, as they are less restrictive and the natural exchange of air promotes the well-being of the feet.

When open shoes also follow the natural shape of the foot, are based on ergonomic principles and are made from high-quality materials, the result is a feeling of comfort that goes beyond the usual – a completely new, natural walking experience.

Comfortable open women's shoes from BÄR Shoes

Open shoes for women from BÄR are no ordinary sandals. They are the result of decades of experience in developing foot-friendly footwear. At their heart: 100% toe freedom, zero heel and a flexible sole that gently adapts to every movement.

At BÄR, feet come first – in the truest sense of the word. The design is based on the anatomy of the foot, not on rigid fashion trends. The shoes offer a consistent barefoot feeling without compromising on protection, cushioning and quality.

Whether with the cushioning natural crepe sole or the flexible natural rubber sole, every version supports a particularly soft, natural and flowing rolling motion. The heel and ball of the foot are on the same level, which further promotes a natural walking sensation. Feel relaxation and comfort from the very first step – that is the BÄR promise.

Open shoes for women with special needs: wide feet & hallux valgus

Feet are as individual as their wearers. That's why BÄR offers special open shoes that adapt perfectly to different needs. Instead of constricting, these models deliberately create space, relieve pressure on sensitive areas and follow the natural shape of the foot.

Soft, flexible materials and a seamless construction in the ball area ensure maximum comfort – even on long days or for sensitive feet.

For wide feet – Comfort & Comfort+ fits

Wider feet need more space – but no less style. That's why BÄR offers many open women's models with the specially developed Comfort fit or the even more generous Comfort+ fit. These last shapes ensure that the foot is not constricted but can move freely – without any friction or pressure points. The combination of 100% toe freedom, an anatomically wide shape and a flexible sole gives women with wide feet a completely new, natural walking experience – relaxed and confident throughout the day.

For sensitive feet – ideal for hallux valgus

Women with hallux valgus know the problem: conventional sandals often pinch exactly where it hurts. Open shoes from BÄR are a real blessing here. The seamless design in the ball area, the soft materials and the well thought-out lines prevent uncomfortable pressure points. The shoe adapts to the foot – not the other way round.

Many models also offer individually adjustable straps or laces for additional flexibility. This provides optimal relief for the sensitive area affected by hallux valgus – for greater freedom of movement, less pain and more enjoyment when walking.

Barefoot feeling included – flat open shoes for women

If you want to be particularly conscious and natural when you're out and about, the flat open shoes from BÄR are just right for you. These models do without unnecessary elevations – thanks to the zero heel, the heel and ball of the foot are on the same level. This not only ensures upright, healthy walking, but also a whole new walking experience.
