Squeaky floors:
Some floors can emit a squeaky noise when walked on by someone wearing a kybun shoe. This is due to two decisive factors.
- The surface: Cleaning agents and the floor consistency have a decisive influence on the noise made during rollover.
- The kybun shoe sole provides excellent grip on nearly all surfaces, indoor or outdoor.
Solutions:
- If possible, change floor cleaning agents.
- The squeaking noise will reduce over time because the profile will be roughened and the friction/adhesion lessened.
- The kybun shoe can be fitted with an anti-squeak sole by our shoemaker. This costs 70 Swiss francs, payable by the customer. This adaptation can be made on any new or used kybun shoe.

Danger of slipping in the kybun shoe?/Sole traction:
Here at kybun, we place great store not only in the comfort of our kybun shoe soles and the activating and training effect they have on the entire musculoskeletal system, but also in the safe traction they offer during customers’ everyday routine, in any weather. kybun shoe customers must be able to rely on the traction of their kybun shoe, whether at work or during leisure time, so that they do not lose focus and become distracted. The soft, elastic sole with its slat profile provides a great deal of contact surface with the ground/floor and allows the kybun shoe to optimally mesh and ‘stick’, fulfilling this requirement.

Opinions/customer testimonials
The relief from plantar fasciitis is good. I worry I’ll never be able to go back to all my other shoes but kybun shoes have already changed my life for the better.
Hello, my name is Susanne Bogedaly. I have been suffering from chronic plantar fasciitis in both of my feet as well as a heel spur in my left foot for about a year and a half. I tried just about everything I could, including all conventional therapy methods. The doctors said there was virtually nothing left for them to try. I tried using insoles and sensorimotor insoles, took pain medication and underwent shockwave therapy. In the end, I was under so much psychological strain, and nothing had helped. In my desperation, I decided to try one last thing. I came across the kybun shoe on the Internet and tried on a pair. I did some research and opted for this model. I am very impressed. It was my last hope, and it has enabled me to walk comfortably, like I’m walking on air, just the way it was described in the advertisement. It is perfect for me, because I’m a nursery teacher and need to be on my feet every day. I am standing for many hours every day, so I wear the shoes at work and also wear them as slippers at home. I have already place an order for the next model, which is the Arosa model. This is a black lace-up boot that comes up to here. It looks very elegant. I want to encourage everyone who is suffering a similar fate as I was and is in despair to simply try it out! It really is worth it. I am very impressed. I can walk again comfortably and almost without any pain. I will stick with the kybun shoe. I am very happy with it. I wish everyone the best and urge them not to give up!
Why do you wear shoes like that? They’re special shoes. Yes, they’re called kyBoot. They’re air-cushioned and wonderful. After walking a long distance barefoot on the beach, I ended up with a heel spur. That means a tear in the heel bone. I could no longer walk properly for months. Then I discovered the kyBoot and was able to try the shoes out. Lo and behold, all is well again. Since then, I always wear the kyBoot – in the mountains and elsewhere.
The benefit of the shoe is that it absorbs the impact incurred when walking around, which, in turn, relieves the hip and knee joints as well as the heels.
What does the specialist for orthopaedics and trauma surgery have to say about the kybun concept?
I’m so impressed with these shoes. I used to have a heel spur and I’ve actually lost track of all the places I tried before resorting to private treatment. Let me tell you straight up that it was ridiculously expensive. I tried everything that my health insurance would cover and honestly, I was going around with a really bad heel spur for a year and a half. I just didn’t know where to go in the end. My husband and I really love hiking. But I just couldn’t go anymore so he had to go alone, which really upset me. I always thought that there must be something else out there and then I discovered this shop. I thought, ok, I’ll have a look and then I ended up buying the shoes. I had some minor problems with them in the beginning because I had an inflammation in my foot. Once that cleared up, it only took four days for the pain in my feet to go away. I think I’ve had these shoes for about three months now and they’re still the only ones I wear. I highly recommend them. I’m so impressed! For me, these shoes are the best thing since sliced bread!
I had a problem with heel spurs. I couldn't walk any more. The doctor told me to walk for at most 20–30 minutes a day; no more walking uphill or downhill. And by coincidence I was in Bern and passed a kybun shop. So I went in and came out with a pair of kybun shoes. I put the shoes on straight away. They advise you not to wear the shoes too much at the start, but I've been wearing them since day one, and haven't had any problems in any of that time.
The kyBoot is of greatbenefit to me. First of all, it helped with my knee problem, and then it helped with my heel spurs. That was the key thing. But my knees even hurt less, too,and it stimulates your circulation.
