Nearly 30 years of expertise

The original BÄR last is the soul of every BÄR shoe. It is the most important tool in making the shoe. So when Christian and Hilke Bär were looking for the original BÄR last almost 30 years ago, they approached no less a person than Gerhard Motsch in Pirmasens, who had already developed legendary lasts for Adi Dassler

types of foot

BÄR has developed individual lasts for the three most important types of foot: Foot type 1 – Volume fit. Foot type 2 – Natural fit. Foot type 3 – Slim fit. Say goodbye to sore feet! According to the German foot report 80% of Germans wear shoes that do not correspond to their feet. The result: two thirds of all adults have damaged feet, bunions, heel spur problems, backache. IMPORTANT: BÄR has just the last for your type of foot! Whether natural, slim or more voluminous!

A guarantee for the perfect fit

A well thought-out last is what makes a shoe fit perfectly. It’s like the building plans for a house: later on, nobody looks at them but nothing works without them. This is where we, at BÄR, have made history, developed new standards, and made a completely new kind of last on which only our shoes are crafted. For your well-being and comfort, and particularly for your health.
