Beat Jäger from Thurgau, Switzerland

I think it’s wonderful. It feels like I’m walking on a bed of moss. I’m very happy with these shoes.

Hausi Leutenegger, Bob-Olympiasieger 1972 und Unternehmer, Freienbach, Schweiz

An der Mustermesse in Basel besuche ich jedes Mal den kybun Stand von Steve Anderhub. Seit Jahren bin ich begeisterter Träger des Luftsohlenschuhs. Er ist sehr leicht und extrem angenehm zum tragen. Dieses Jahr habe ich mir ein sportliches Modell gekauft. Damit fühle ich mich auch mit 73 Jahren noch fit!

Margret Jennrich

Ein wunderbarer Schuh. Beim Bügeln bekomme ich keine Rückenschmerzen mehr. Möchte diesen Schuh nicht mehr missen und freue mich über die Neueröffnung des kybun Shops in Ahrensburg. Mein Mann hat eine künstliche Hüfte mit nunmehr einem verkürzten Bein und hat mit diesen Schuhe keinerlei Probleme, weil die Sohle den Körperdruck ausgleicht. Ich, besser wir, können diese Schuhe nur empfehlen.
