Orthofeet Shoes was established in 1984, and Michael Bar acquired his MS in mechanical engineering from the Technion-Israel Institute of Technology, where he earned his Phd in biomedical engineering. The impetus for launching the firm, however, is what really tells the tale of their organization. When a missile struck his tank when he was a reserve soldier serving in Israel's Yom Kippur War in 1973, he lost his leg. This tragedy gave rise to Orthofeet Shoes. Early on, he realized that the conventional approach to applying a cast to a patient's foot was time-consuming and frequently ineffective. He began creating insoles, foot orthotics, and footwear after receiving his degree in order to meet his condition and the needs of other people who have mobility problems. He was joined by his brother, who added to his mechanical engineering knowledge.
