Wet Feet Note: I am a UK customer. I bought a pair of jungfrau 17 walking boots about four years back at just under £300 hoping they'd help me keep active with my post traumatic ankle arthritis. Disappointingly my ankle was too painful so I couldn't wear them for the first couple of years. Then I had ankle replacement surgery and discovered I could wear them - wonderful shock absorption and support. Sadly in approximately 15 months the rubber around them cracked in a couple of places and I started getting wet feet. I complained but was told the guarantee had run out - of course I'd had them for much longer than I'd used them. Now I have two bike puncture repair patches on them and continue wearing them though they look a little eccentric. For the cost this is not good and sadly I'm now looking for another type of better quality boot with the equivalent shock absorption.

Two year longevity You need to read the website carefully as they estimate a two year life span for these shoes. I've had them longer , however have worn them little, but the soles have separated from the shoes on both sides , the first warning was my feet getting a little damp but in a short time both sides have completely detached at the front . Very disappointing for a very expensive shoe that I have not worn all that much and looking at the construction I think this is a fault that would be repeated as the sole seems just to be glued onto the shoe and with the compression of the sole when walking it would appear to be a weak point in the design. There are better rocker shoes out there.

Very slow to process refund Very slow to process refund. I had to contact several times. Responses we're quick, but action was slow. No apologies, either. To clarify: return was received June 27th and refund was not received until July 14. KYboot did not attempt to process the refund to my card until I sent 2 emails. I am not a chronic complainer who likes to issue bad reviews, but I feel compelled to voice the truth here. Honestly, I would not even have posted a review, but I have received several emails from KYBoot urging me to do so.

Great soles, terrible uppers I bought a pair of women's hiking Kybun shoes. I love the soles - they perform as advertised. However, the uppers are terrible. Toe box is too narrow and causes pinky toe blisters (and I don't have exceptionally wide/large feet or thick socks). The ankle rim is stiff and bulky and hurts my ankles - hasn't broken in even over several hikes. I ordered a half-size larger than my usual size, and the shoes feel short and cramped. So I love the soles, but the badly constructed uppers make these shoes unusable for me.

I purchased Kyboot shoes as I was…plantars fasciitis diagnosis I purchased Kyboot shoes as I was diagnosed with plantars fasciitis in my left foot. Kyboot shoes immediately took away the pain and they were the only shoes I could wear. The only negative is the Kyboot shoes with the high-rebound effect don't offer as much stability as regular shoes. I found that my knees were affected by this and I ended up with knee pain. The newer, low-rebound effect Kyboot shoes offer less cushioning but more stability and may have been best for me but I don't think they were available last year when I had my foot pain. It's nice that Kyboot has options so try both styles before you make your purchase.
