kybun Opinions
When I tried the kybun shoe for the first time I could not believe how comfortable these shoes were. After a few weeks of wearing them I knew they were not only comfortable but they really worked too! They relieved my backpain which is almost a constant companion of a professional athlete. I can't take them off my feet!

I have been wearing kybun shoes for several weeks and feel on cloud nine. If I could, I would even wear them at home and at night, I feel so comfortable in my kybun shoes.
Ruth Wälti, St.Gallen , Switzerland
"I often have bad back pains, so I wear the kybun shoe whenever I can. I love the soft, supple shoe; it feels amazingly comfortable."
Pee Wirz, lead singer of the Dada ante portas rock group, Luzern, Switzerland
"I am 74 years old and a passionate pilgrim. I first wore the kybun shoe on my last 250-mile walk along the French Way. Walking was very pleasant and my knee pain was a thing of the past. I was especially surprised at how cushioned and agreeable it feels to walk on asphalt. I could feel the kybun shoe strengthening the muscles in my legs and feet. I now only ever wear my sandals or my kybun shoes."
Walter Keller, pensioner, Bischofszell, Switzerland
I’m addicted to kybun shoes. These shoes make even a couch potato into a keen walker. It is such a pleasure: like being packed in cotton wool, combined with a rocking, yet stable sole. I’ve worn them every day for a month and never want to be parted from them. I knew the phrase “A dog is man’s best friend”, but now I also know the saying “A shoe is man’s best friend.” I am very happy to trust them as an intermediary between my feet and the ground.
Gilles Tschudi, actor, Zurich , Switzerland
"At St. Gallen Bank, health management plays a very important role. Healthy staff not only feel better and fitter, they are also more highly motivated and perform better. One major element of workplace health at St. Gallen Bank is ergonomic work stations, which we have created using the kybun mat."
Simon Netzle, press officer at St. Galler Kantonalbank, St.Gallen, Switzerland
"Since June 2009 I have been wearing kybun shoes whenever possible in my job as a postal worker and all my spare time. I hardly have any back pain any more and my varicose veins are just a bad memory. I am delighted and no longer like to walk in any other shoes."
Erika Eggenberger, postal worker, Nassen, Switzerland
"Proprioception (our sense of our body's movements and relative position) and proprioceptive training are very important to avoid injury. The kybun shoe is an effective tool for such training sessions; it can be worn the whole time and is very comfortable. It means that you are involved in a kind of constant training session without having to make a lot of effort. In the end I was able to try out the effect myself. Without any specific therapy, just from wearing the kybun shoe, I was able to cure my Achilles tendonitis: the unstable sole strengthened the muscles stabilising my ankle joints, taking the burden off the rest of my overstressed muscles. I recommend the kybun shoe following injuries to the lower extremities, for jobs in standing positions, for sportspeople and for the elderly, to prevent falls."
Dr. Konrad Birrer, SGSM senior physician for surgery and sports medicine, Luzern, Switzerland
"The kybun shoe means you can walk actively and healthily even on hard surfaces. The soft, unstable sole is kind on your joints, exercises your muscles, improves your balance and stimulates receptors in your feet. From a medical perspective I thus specially recommend the kybun shoe to patients with poor posture or knee problems."
Prof. Dr. Christian Gäbler, specialist in trauma surgery following accidents and sports injuries, Vienna, Austria
Als ich eine Erkältung mit sehr starken Kopfschmerzen hatte, ging ich nach Tagen zum Arzt. Der schickte mich mit einer Lungenentzündung nach Hause. Normalerweise habe ich mit meinen normalen Kissen kein Problem, aber in diesem Fall hat mir nur das kySsen geholfen, meine Kopfschmerzen in den Griff zu bekommen. Auch in der Nacht konnte ich durch die gute Stütze und die aktive Lagerung recht gut atmen und schlafen. Seit diesem Erlebnis, nehme ich das kySsen überall hin mit. Egal ob ins Hotel, in die Pension oder auch wenn ich privat bei jemandem übernachte. Ich kann das kySsen jedem sehr empfehlen, der sich auch gesund schlafen möchte.
