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.
Customer testimonials
Imelda Angehrn, Hundezüchterin aus Gossau, Schweiz
Ich habe vor, den Wanderschuh zu kaufen, da er etwas höher ist. Aber weniger für den Alltag, sondern mehr für die Ferien. Wenn man wirklich länger geht oder wandert. Toll ist er auch, weil man die Steine nicht spürt. Ich gehe mit den Hunden meistens auf einen Naturweg und da ist man froh, wenn man nicht jeden Stein spürt.
Franz Heinzer, Weltmeister und Swiss Ski Nachwuchstrainer
Wenn ich lange stehe oder lange auf den Beinen bin, dann habe ich ihn sowieso an. Ich mache sogar Bergläufe mit dem kybun Schuh. Für leichten Sport geeignet. Ich brauche ihn aber sehr stark für den Sport.
Hansruedi Poschung aus Thun, Schweiz
Ich habe sie bei der Arbeit sowie zu Hause als Hausschuh oder zum Wandern, Walken und Sport an. Ich habe sie eigentlich für alles an.
