Customer testimonials

Paul Kammradt from Sollies-Toucas, France

At 66 years old, I have had two hip replacements, a right knee replacement, and have undergone two major back operations. My knees had always been swollen, but once I tried the kybun shoe, they became normal again after two days. Now I can walk for hours without limping. I feel truly alive again.

Liliane Schär, Author, Wil SG, Switzerland

I am 81 years old and suffer from painful arthrosis in my right ankle joint. Nevertheless, I have retained the power of positive thinking and the belief in relative physical well-being through exercise. In the elegant kybun shoe I found the shoe that gives the foot its full freedom of movement and strengthens it without getting tired. For me it is an indispensable source of strength in old age and a true gift.

Maria Marfurt, pensioner, Ebikon, Switzerland

They're comfortable. They're really comfortable. And I have relatively wide feet and always have a bit of trouble. But I really feel good in these shoes; I wouldn't want any others anymore. Watch the video
