A great accolade – ISPO Award 2023
The BÄR Bergkomfort Hiking Boot 2.0 wins the ISPO AWARD 2023!
The ISPO Award recognizes the standout products and services of each industry through the internationally leading sports platform ISPO. After a lengthy development phase and more than 40 years of experience, we have succeeded in creating a shoe that meets all our customers’ requirements.
The assessment is based on the practical know-how and real-world experience of international experts. Products are evaluated according to criteria such as innovation, sustainability, quality, workmanship, and value for money. BÄR’s Bergkomfort Hiking Shoe 2.0 was evaluated according to these strict criteria and impressed with the following features:
Bär pursues a comprehensive sustainability strategy, which was also positively highlighted in the jury’s decision-making. As an ISO 45001-certified company for health and safety management, we are committed to a sustainable product and production philosophy. Christof Bär emphasizes that, based on this philosophy, Bär shoes are inherently sustainable. We place great importance on selecting materials and partner companies and work closely with the German leather producer TerraCare, known for its environmentally friendly processing methods. Both at the manufacturing facility in India and in Germany, Bär sets high standards for all production sites and obtains more than 60% of its energy from renewable sources.
Thanks to new innovations, hikers can now enjoy even more comfort and stability. Manufacturing hiking shoes is a complex process that requires many individual components to be perfectly coordinated. Bär has always been guided by the wide toe box of its shoes. This unusual design gives the toes more room and allows them to spread out better than in comparable shoe models from other manufacturers. At the same time, it ensures optimal stability, so hikers do not slip even on difficult terrain.
