Hiking in kybun shoes is far more fun because the soft, elastic air-cushion soles absorb the impact of your foot on the rocky ground
Wearing the kybun Swiss air-cushion shoes means you can walk on an elastic, springy, moss-like surface at all times. It is often the case that before, after or during a hike, you have to walk across kilometres of tarmac or hard surfaces.
The kybun shoes allow you to enjoy exercise again and noticeably relieve the strain on your joints, activate the vein pump, strengthen your deep inner muscles and support the cardiovascular system. Older people, in particular, can improve mobility and balance by walking in kybun shoes, which is an effective way of reducing the risk of falls.
Is it possible to go hiking without any pain despite knee, hip and back problems?
You’re probably familiar with this problem, too: Even after short hikes, your feet burn, your knees hurt and you struggle to maintain your balance. The mere thought of walking downhill makes us weak at the knees. The good news for everyone suffering from these problems is that we have a solution for you! It’s simple: we start with your feet. In any case, it is crucial to wear the right type of shoes when hiking.
Should hiking boots provide support?
No. Scientific findings show that the feet – not the shoes – should provide the support. The elastic, springy sole of the kybun shoe offers your feet greater freedom of movement and thereby trains the muscles.
Isn’t it a bit dangerous to walk on the soft-elastic soles in the countryside?
No, quite the opposite. You’ll be surprised by how much safer you feel in kybun shoes than in supportive hiking boots once you get used to them! kybun hiking shoes are suitable for light outdoor activities as well as all simple hiking routes. Sporty hiking enthusiasts have told us how much they enjoy hiking in the kybun shoes. We would only dissuade you from wearing kybun shoes if you plan to go hiking on steeply sloping fields.

Important for newcomers
New wearers of kybun shoes should know that it is important to take a pair of ‘normal’ shoes with them in their rucksack when they go on longer hikes. It takes some time to get used to the soft, springy sole. The air-cushion sole activates different muscles, which can result in noticeable reactions being felt in the body.

" ابلغ من العمر 74 عاماً و أنا رحالة شديد الحماس. ارتديت الكيبوت لأول مرة في رحلتي الأخيرة لمسافة 250 ميلاً من المشي قرب الحدود الفرنسية. كان المشي ممتعاً,ألم الركب أصبح شيئاً من الماضي. تفاجأت بشكل خاص كم أصبح المشي على الأسفلت لطيفاً و ممتعاً. أستطيع أن أشعر كيف يقوي الكيبوت العضلات في ساقي و قدمي. الآن أرتدي دائماً صندلي أو الكيبوت."

Warum trägst du solche Schuhe? Das sind spezielle. Ja kybun Schuhe heissen die. Sind luftgefedert und wunderbar. Ich habe mir bei einer längeren Strecke barfuss am Strand einen Fersensporn zugezogen. Das bedeutet einen Sprung im Fersenbein. Ich konnte über Monate nicht mehr richtig Gehen. Dann habe ich die kybun Schuhe entdeckt und konnte sie ausprobieren. Siehe da, es geht wieder. Seitdem trage ich immer wenn es geht in den Bergen und auch sonst kybun Schuhe.

Die Wandergruppe ist teilweise um mich und meine Frau gestanden und haben den Schuh bewundert, vor allem weil die Sohle sich so gut dem Untergrund angepasst hat und wie gut, dass wir gelaufen sind. Sie konnten es kaum glauben, dass ich im Januar eine Knieoperation hatte.
