Since its founding in 1992, BAAK has been synonymous with ergonomic safety shoes that put people first.

As a third-generation, family-owned company based in the Lower Rhine region, we develop and manufacture safety shoes that are consistently designed with the physiology of the human body in mind.

Safety is a given; health is our commitment.

With its in-house product development and deep expertise in orthopedic footwear technology, BAAK aims to develop safety shoes designed for the foot that are proven to help maintain the health of the musculoskeletal system. The result is innovative solutions that combine safety, ergonomics, and comfort.

Our unique selling point is the patented Baak Go&Relax system, which supports the natural rolling motion and has been proven to reduce the risk of musculoskeletal disorders.

Other unique features include the world's first barefoot safety shoes certified to EU standards, which provide a particularly natural walking experience during the workday, as well as safety shoes with a stretchy forefoot area for those suffering from hallux valgus.

We have received numerous awards from independent institutions in recognition of our innovative strength. In addition, Baak is highly regarded for its quality, delivery reliability, and collaborative partnership with specialty retailers.

Shoe development

Developed and designed in Germany

As a leading manufacturer, we are committed to preserving the anatomy of the human foot and thus its natural function and mobility as best as possible. Our product development team in Straelen on the Lower Rhine is constantly researching innovative materials, technologies, and ideas that enhance the well-being and health of wearers.

At Baak, we develop safety shoes that go further.

We were the first manufacturer to recognize the advantages of lightweight, cushioning EVA material (high rebound) from the running shoe sector and successfully introduced it to the safety shoe industry.

Safety is a matter of course - health is our aspiration

At Baak, we go beyond mere compliance with safety standards. Our focus is on supporting the long-term health of every wearer. Because only safety shoes that follow the natural movements of the foot can provide lasting relief for muscles, joints and the entire musculoskeletal system.

To achieve this, we developed the patented Baak Go&Relax system. The combination of a flex cap, flex zone, and H-joint in the outsole enables a natural rolling motion over the metatarsophalangeal joints, keeping feet flexible, the body fit, and people healthy in the long term.
