BÄR shoes are designed around the natural shape of the foot, which includes a wider toe box than virtually any shoe on the Indian market. Our toe box is 8mm wider than the market standard — meaning BÄR is very likely your best fit yet.
Will barefoot shoes hurt at first if I'm used to heeled shoes?
There is a brief adjustment period as your foot returns to its natural position. Most BÄR wearers feel the difference within 1–2 weeks. We recommend wearing them for a few hours a day to start.
What's the difference between Vibram and standard sole models?
Vibram soles offer higher durability and grip — ideal for those who walk 10,000+ steps daily or on varied terrain. Standard soles are lighter and more flexible for everyday urban wear.
How is BÄR different from other barefoot brands?
BÄR combines natural movement design with premium leather craftsmanship and a smart casual aesthetic. We are a premium everyday shoe brand designed around anatomy.

So comfortable from toe side...no pain for walking or wearing longer period. If there would have been support on ankle with height, it would have been perfect. With current flat design, pressure comes on ankle.
Having plantar fasciitis around 9 months. Sports shoes are not helping much due to narrow toe box and heel drop. Problem is I am having wider toe width. This shoe is really comfortable and reduced my pain.
The sheer joy of having free space to move my toes now is perfect! As a diabetic , I was rather wary about how these soles would actually feel. After one week of living only in these shoes, have now removed all the heels I owned.
I am a senior citizen and my feet couldn't have asked for more. I am going to live in them. Given the quality I am sure it will serve me well. Thanks !
These shoes are a game-changer for me. I have been using Barefoot/widetoe box shoes for fitness and this is my 1st office shoe. After a week of usage I am amazed by the full day comfort they offer. I no longer remove my shoes in the office and am able to stretch my toes from time to time due to the wide toe-box.
Purchasing from Baerindia was an amazing experience. I had ordered a design/model whose fit did not suit me. So Mujahid from Baerindia who was in touch over Whatsapp from Day 1 of purchase arranged for return pick-up, change of model and resending the new pair which fortunately fit me properly.
If anyone is worried about sizing, their size chart is pretty accurate and they offer hassle free returns.
Shoe fits very well and is very comfortable for long work days. Quality of construction is top notch. I wish they launch more of their product portfolio in India which is available in Europe. Highly recommend their products.
This is my second pair and I bought the first pair while you had just launched saving a lot of money, I regret not buying second pair then. These shoes are life savers and go very well with both formal and casual attire, the only complaint is that you should give a better discount to returning customers
The Baer person answered all my questions with patience. I am happy with the customer experience…
I’ve worn them a couple of times. They are lightweight and comfortable.
I gifted it to a friend and she is very happy. She has broad feet and finds the wide toe gives her feet the space they need. She describes my present as her best gift.
Good fit, I'm not very confident about the quality and longevity. Hope it doesn't fall apart in a few months.
This is going to be my everyday shoe, so all hopes on this.
Maybe this feedback would be more relevant after a year.
Fantastic shoes. Very Comfortable. I highly recommend these shoes. I wish i had come across these shoes earlier. Not only are they of excellent quality but they also look damn cool 😎
