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.

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.

I have purchased a number of Kybun… I have purchased a number of Kybun Products, shoes, trainers, and sandals, pillows, etc after being an original MBT distributor and found that the quality is lacking. Firstly Soles: a rose bush thorn will puncture the sole render it useless. Secondly: the shoes wear faster on the inside than the outside, bad quality Lace clips on sandals, break in now time. Overall concept is good, but MBT and there improvements at a lower price, still better. However, many companies has caught on and it would be advisable to look at other rocker bottom shoes /trainers/ sandals at a fraction of the price

Kicked metatarsalgia pain to the curb! The shoes fit like a dream and arrived sooner than expected. They are beautiful and I already feel relief in my knee. We have ordered many pair, and say without hesitation that they restored my husband’s quality of life. Just two years ago his metatarsalgia was so intense he couldn’t walk from the car to a restaurant and now using the shoes has been able to resume his daily walks and just last week enjoyed an entire day at Disney World. Thank you so very much.

Real good shoes Real good shoes , but SOOOOOO expensive they forget @ kybun that not everyone has a Swiss income. It's a pity that having less pain walking is only possible if you're prepared to pay a lot of money. For me they are over priced, but good.
