Open shoes for men – thoughtful comfort for every day
Anyone who spends a lot of time on their feet—at work or in their free time—knows that the right shoe makes all the difference. Especially in summer, open shoes for men are a welcome alternative. They provide freshness, airflow, and greater freedom of movement. But at BÄR, it is about more than simply letting your feet breathe: here, foot well-being, ergonomics, and long-lasting wearing comfort are the focus.
Whether strolling through the city, on vacation, or in everyday life, men need shoes that keep up without getting in the way. Open shoes from BÄR offer exactly that: maximum freedom with every step, a natural walking feel, and thoughtful details for demanding feet.
What men can expect from an open shoe—and what BÄR makes of it
BÄR’s open men’s shoes are more than functional sandals—they are the result of decades of research and masterful craftsmanship.
Every model is based on three core principles:
✔ 100% Toe freedom – no constriction, no pressure
✔ Zero heel – for an upright posture and natural balance
✔ Flexible soles – for smooth, joint-friendly rolling motion
The result: a walking feel almost like going barefoot, but with the stability, cushioning, and protection that men’s feet need in everyday life. High-quality materials, such as natural crepe or flexible natural rubber, ensure durability and maximum comfort.
Comfortable open men’s shoes made for many situations
Open shoes do not have to look monotonous or purely sporty. BÄR’s collection offers stylish versatility for almost any setting—from classic everyday models to functional leisure shoes. Whether simple strap sandals, easy-to-wear loop sandals, sturdy trekking sandals , or hybrid models with a closed toe and open heel—all models combine comfort with thoughtful design. The range also includes airy, lightweight slip-ons for relaxed hours and adjustable lace-up sandals.
They all have one thing in common: They follow the natural shape of the foot and provide noticeable relief, flexibility, and well-being from the very first step.
Also for men with special foot needs: more room, more comfort
Many men have wide feet, sensitive balls of the feet, or foot deformities without realizing it. That’s why BÄR also offers various fits in open men's shoes to meet these specific needs:
✔ Comfort & Comfort+ fit
Especially for wide men's feet: These lasts offer significantly more room in the forefoot without compromising support in the midfoot. The shoes fit comfortably yet securely—perfect for men who don't want to feel restricted.
✔ Ideal for hallux valgus or sensitive feet
The seamless interior, soft upper materials, and pressure-free design prevent areas of friction—even when worn for extended periods. Flexible closures provide additional support and personalized comfort.
