40 years of BÄR shoes – thank you!

40 Jahre BÄR Schuhe – wir bedanken uns!

This year, the BÄR Manufaktur for comfortable shoes is celebrating its 40th anniversary, and we would like to take this opportunity to sincerely thank all our customers for their trust! We owe it to you that, now in its second generation, the BÄR Manufaktur has been able to continue developing with all its values, visions, and principles while always remaining true to itself. We are delighted to do everything we can to earn this trust again and again—with beautiful, high-quality shoes that will bring you lasting enjoyment and pamper your feet with Toe freedom.

40 years of BÄR shoes – thank you!

Today, brothers Christof and Sebastian Bär continue to lead the family business with passion, innovation, and a focus on the future. The original motivation to make high-quality shoes with Toe freedom for the best possible walking comfort remains unchanged. The wide range of everyday, business, sports, indoor, and outdoor models has been expanded further with the new, innovative hiking collection. Forty years after the company was founded, BÄR shoes are available worldwide in 23 stores, through our own online shop, and via catalogs.

BÄR focuses not only on the present, but also always looks to the future with the goal of pursuing an ecologically sustainable path for the generations to come. Christof Bär: “As a second-generation family business, it is important to me that we pass the company and the world on to our children in good condition. We cannot save the world alone, but we do what we can contribute—with conviction and passion.”

Thank you for your trust!
