"Thanks to the kybun shoe we can reduce the dose of pain medication for our patients. Thus the shoe represents an important aid in therapy."

ETH study by kybun
You will find numerous statements from experts and customers that demonstrate effectiveness and recommend our products
A study of this kind was, for example, conducted by ETH Zurich, in which the kybun technology was compared with other market-leading health shoes and barefoot. The results showed that kybun shoes induce larger movements in the foot and that the motion curves during foot strike are more harmonious. The shoe sole significantly attenuates the force acting on the body during the initial contact phase. Further details about this study and its results can be found here.
Expert opinions on the Swiss air-cushion shoe
Dr. med. Andreas Gösele
"The shoe suited my foot shape and my needs very well, and for the first time in many years I could wear a shoe without insoles."
Dr. med. Sabine Bleuel
"kybun shoes combine three important factors of healthy and comfortable walking in shoes - the elasticity of every step, comfort - thanks to the perfect shape and spaciousness - and simple training thanks to the principle of the unstable foot."
Prof. Dr. Christian Gäbler
"From a medical point of view, I especially recommend the kybun shoe to patients who have postural defects or knee problems."
Dr. Rolf Hohmeister
"For us doctors, it was actually a vision and a dream that something like this would come."
Dr. Gerard Farkas
"The high damping in the mid- and forefoot area makes the kybun shoe ideal for people with midfoot and forefoot complaints or toe deformities and arthroses."
Dr. Guntner-Niessen
"The shoe doesn't require special attention and yet it's fun to walk consciously in it."
Karl Müller III
"You can try kybun shoes, you can't try surgeries!"
kybun ETH Study
Introduction
Walking is the most important form of locomotion and therefore people spend a lot of time on their feet.
To investigate the influence of the shoes from Karl Sr. & Jr. Müller “kybun” and “Joya” on gait during walking and running as well as the forces on the feet, the Biomechanical Institute at ETH Zurich conducted a gait analysis study. The study included 12 subjects (barefoot, kybun, Joya, MBT and for 3 female subjects Joyssy), high-speed video recordings of foot strike, kinetic measurements of ground reaction forces and kinematic measurements of body position and movement.
You can try kybun shoes, you can't try operations!
