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.

Nelly A. M. aus Mönchaltorf, Schweiz
Mit Unterstützung der kybun Schuhen kann ich immer noch aufrecht gehen. Gestern war ich mit meinem Schwager auf der Lenzerheide, wir wanderten von der Rothorn-Mittelstation Scharmoin zum Wasserfall und von dort hinunter nach Lenzerheide über Stock und Stein, was eine strapaziöse Wanderung ist. Mit dem kybun Schuh Wandermodell (orange) war ich perfekt ausgerüstet. Es dämpft wirklich bei jedem Schritt. Ich bin 72 Jahre alt und hatte seit 2011 mehrere schwere Unfälle, deshalb bin ich doppelt dankbar, dass Sie so tolle Schuhe fabrizieren SWISS MADE ! Das ist für mich auch wichtig !!
Bleiben Sie Ihrer Kultur treu, ich werde Ihre Produkte überall weiter empfehlen.

In der Freizeit geht es nicht mehr ohne kybun Schuhe. Ob es wandern, laufen ist oder wenn ich am Abend unterwegs bin, ist er ein angenehemer Schuh. Man fühlt sich gleich wieder jung.
Dora Huguenin, Museumsführerin in Le Locle, Schweiz
Da ich zu Fuss zur Arbeit komme und wieder zu Fuss heimgehe, sind es insgesamt 50 Minuten für einen Arbeitsweg. Mit dem kybun Schuh ist es so eine grosse Erleichterung. Ich habe Wanderschuhe und Sommerschuhe. Ich trage ihn einfach das ganze Jahr.
